As rumours fly and the sequence of events continues to be obfuscated by contradictory official statements, the whole truth behind Osama bin Laden’s death may never be known.
New targets are being eyed in Pakistan by the US, and the questions and worries exposed by “Operation Geronimo” help confirm their legitimacy as targets.
Allegations of a secret deal inked by Musharraf show him to be shedding crocodile tears over the violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. This definitely won’t help the general’s plans for a comeback.
With its official statement, the Pakistani government plays both sides of the death of Osama bin Laden: it wants the world to know that it is against Al-Qaeda but says explicitly that this was a US operation.
