A cellphone used by Osama bin Laden's courier appears to show that the Al-Qaeda leader was aided by militants linked to Pakistani intelligence, The New York Times said on Thursday.
Citing US officials briefed on an investigation into the phone, the Times said calls from the device were traced to Harakat-ul-Mujahideen, a militant group linked to Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.
"It's a serious lead," one US official told the Times. "It's an avenue we're investigating."
Another US official told the daily that the link was not, however, a "smoking gun" that definitively linked bin Laden to the ISI, as it was unclear if the calls were related to him.
The phone was seized during a daring US commando raid in Pakistan last month in which both bin Laden and his courier were killed.
Yes, without inside support Osama wouldn't have lived in Pak for over six years and he would have been living in Abbottabad Safe House!
