WH: 'Inconceivable' Bin Laden Didn't Have Pakistani Aid

The Hill reports:

President Obama's top counterterrorism adviser called it "inconceivable" that Pakistan was not providing a "support system" for Osama bin Laden, who was killed Sunday in a raid in a mansion north of the capital city of Islamabad.

"We are pursuing all leads on this issue," Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan said during a White House briefing. "I think people are raising a number of questions, and understandably so."

Brennan said bin Laden likely would not have been able to hide undetected at the compound — which is in close proximity to a Pakistani military installation — without help from within the country. He declined to speculate on what that help might include.

He said the administration is in contact with Pakistan's government and intelligence establishment about the situation.
