New Delhi, Jun 15 (Agencies): Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has arrested some of the CIA informants in Pakistan who reportedly had leaked the crucial information about hideout of Osama bin Laden to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Later, the US administration initiated military action and ordered the US Navy SEALS to conduct raid at the Abbottabad mansion where Osama lived, the New York Times report says.

The ISI has arrested the five Pakistani CIA informants, including a Pakistani Army major who reportedly copied the license plates of cars visiting Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan in April this year.

The report says that the fate of the Pakistani CIA spies arrested in Pakistan is still not clear. However, the CIA director, Leon E. Panetta, had raised the issue when he travelled to Islamabad to meet with Pakistani military and intelligence officers.

According to report, the think-tank in the United States says the arrest of the informants shows disconnect between Pakistani and American interests and priorities. Despite the tall claims made by the Pakistani government to assist the US in the fight against the terror network of Al-Qaeda, the ISI has arrested those who assisted in the raid that killed the most wanted terrorist on the planet.

When he visited Pakistan, Panetta offered evidence of collusion between Pakistani security officials and the militants staging attacks in Afghanistan, the Times said.

American officials cited by the daily said Panetta presented satellite photographs of two bomb-making factories that American spies several weeks ago had asked the ISI to raid.

When Pakistani troops showed up days later, the militants were gone, causing American officials to question whether the militants had been warned by someone on the Pakistani side.

Meanwhile, in a sign of the growing anger on Capitol Hill, Republican representative Mike Rogers, who leads the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that he believed elements of the ISI and the military had helped protect bin Laden, the Times said.

Rogers, who met with senior security officials in Pakistan last week, as cited by the Times said he had no evidence that senior Pakistani military or civilian leaders were complicit in sheltering bin Laden.

He did not offer any proof to support his assertion, saying only his accusation was based on "information that I've seen," it said.
