Pakistan's ISI is most incompetent in the world: Piers Morgan slams Pak analyst over Osama bin Laden whereabouts claims

Osama bin Laden and Piers Morgan

In an intense battle of words, British broadcaster Piers Morgan called out a Pakistan analyst who alleged that Islamabad did not know that Osama bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad. Speaking on his talk show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, the host then said if that's so, then Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI is the worst in the world.

Pakistan analyst Shehzad Ghias Shaikh said the Bin Laden papers were not released by Islamabad, but by the US intelligence. He then went on to allege that these 470,000 papers shows that Bin Laden was trying to hide from the Pakistani intelligence.

However, Morgan was quick to shut down Shaikh, saying, "Sorry, with the best will in the world, what you just said is utterly ludicrous. Osama bin Laden was found literally living in a house, a few hundred yards from Pakistan's main military bases." He pointed out that if the Pakistan's ISI did not know about Bin Laden's whereabouts, then it would be the worst intelligence in the world.

Pakistan has repeatedly alleged that it was unaware of the Al-Qaeda terrorist's whereabouts before the US Navy SEAL operaton in 2011.

It was recently revealed that Pakistan's Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Director General of the Inter-Serivices Public Relations (ISPR), is the son of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, a designated terrorist who was an aide of Bin Laden. He was a nuclear scientist who helped Pakistan enrich uranium and develop gas centrifuge technology. 

Mahmood was registered officially as a terrorist by the UN committee in December 2001, three months after the 9/11 attacks. The US pushed Pakistan's ISI to arrest Mahmood and later he admitted to meeting Bin Laden, raising alarms about terrorists getting hold of nuclear weapons.
