and Pakistan. Washington, for which Islamabad is a key ally in its "war on terror 'since late 2001, said in turn that the Pakistani authorities were not informed of the raid, for fear of leakage. The leader of al Qaeda was shot last May 2 at his mansion in Abbottabad, a town about 50 kilometers from the Pakistani capital of Pakistani military truffle.
