Today, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani denied British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's previous request that Osama Bin Laden be "taken out." In addition, Gilani further denied additional requests for American intelligence agents to flood Pakistan in efforts to catch Bin Laden. Gilani states that his intelligence informs him that Bin Laden is not residing in Pakistan currently. He further states, "If they [the US and British intelligence services] have any credible or actionable information, they can share it and we can act on it."
Tensions between the Unites States, Britain, and Pakistan seem stable, even after Pakistani citizens were seized in Britain previously. In addition, while Gilani believes President Obama should "seriously study the implications"of his troops surge, he is delighted at the fact that the President is so concerned with ending the war.
