CIA used stealth drones in Pakistan to monitor Osama’s compound
Washington: The CIA conducted secret flights of stealth drones over the Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad for months before the May 02 Navy SEALs raid that led to killing of al-Qaeda chief, an American newspaper quoted sources as saying.
The sources said that the sophisticated stealth drones allowed the CIA to go undetected beyond the boundaries that Pakistan has imposed on other US drones that carried out attacks in its tribal region near Afghan border.
The agency turned to the new stealth aircraft “because they needed to see more about what was going on” than other surveillance platforms allowed, said a former U.S. official familiar with the details of the operation. “It’s not like you can just park a Predator overhead — the Pakistanis would know,” added the former official, who, , spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the program.

US tightens rope around ISI
Islamabad: With the killing of world’s most wanted man al-Qaeda Chief Osama bin Laden in the garrison town of Pakistan, about two hours drive form the nuclear-armed nation’s capital it seems that the US is tightening rope around the Pakistan’s powerful military and its top spy agency Inter Services Intelligence as US federal prosecutors did not hesitate to connect ISI Directorate to the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans, during a hearing of lawsuit filed by victims involving ISI, on Monday.
A confessed Pakistani American David Coleman Headley took the stand in a Chicago courtroom Monday and described a close alliance between Pakistan’s intelligence service and the banned Lashkar-i-Taiba group, alleging that Pakistani officers recruited him and played a central role in planning the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

PNS Mehran attack: Base Commander suspended
Karachi: Base Commander PNS-Mehran Raja Tahir has been suspended apparently due to his inability to thwart terrorist attack on Sunday night that led to killing of at least 20 officials and destruction f the two PC-3 Orian aircrafts.
Sources said on Wednesday that Commodore Khalid Pervez has been appointed new base commander of the PNS Mehran, adding that previous commander will remain suspended till the inquiry into the attack is completed.
The sources said that naval authorities have investigated four court-martialed navy officials detained in Adiala jail Rawalpindi for their complicity in terror attack in the country.They said that the four officials had not been deployed in the PNS Mehran during their services.
They said two of the six terrorists helped their four accomplices in scaling the wall of the airbase and left the scene.
The fact astonished the investigators was that the attackers passed by a fleet of US-supplied C-130 but did not target the planes.
“It seems that the PC-3 Orian was the main target of the attackers” a security expert said, adding no PC-3 Orian ever took part in any operation against the militants in northwest tribal region.
