British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has launched new criticism at Pakistan’s leadership for failing to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. In a phone call to Pakistani President Asif Ari Zardari, Brown complained that “Three quarters of terrorist plots that threaten Britain arise from [the] area of Pakistan [where Bin Laden is presumed to be hiding.]” Brown said more should have been accomplished in eight years of searching and said he wanted to see “more progress in taking out these top two people in al-Qaeda who have done so much damage and are clearly behind many of the operations in Great Britain.” A Pakistani official was reported by The Times to have rejected Brown’s assertions, countering that Osama Bin Laden is in Afghanistan and if the Americans or Brits know differently, they should “share it [with us].”
