World must share blame for failing to track Laden, says Pakistan

---

ABBOTTABAD, May 4 (Agencies) : Pakistan said Wednesday the world must share the blame for failing to unearth Osama bin Laden as a furore swelled over how the slain Al-Qaeda kingpin had managed to live undisturbed near Islamabad. Following the killing of bin Laden by US commandos in a raid on his sprawling villa, Washington revealed that Pakistan was kept in the dark to avoid tipping off the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks. Pakistan's prime minister says spy agencies worldwide share the blame for his country's failure to capture Osama Bin Laden, who was killed by US forces. "We have intelligence failure of the rest of the world including the United States," World must PM Yousuf Raza Gilani said. Pakistan has been criticised for not locating bin Laden, who was living near the country's main military academy. The CIA head has said the US did not tell Islamabad of the raid in advance, for fear it would be jeopardised. Meanwhile the US has revised its account of how the operation took place. White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Tuesday that Bin Laden was not armed when his compound was stormed by US special forces in the early hours of Monday.
