http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8214244/CANBERRA, Australia - An alleged al-Qaida kingpin did not provide information to Pakistani interrogators that could lead them to Osama bin Laden, Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said Tuesday during a state visit to Australia.
Abu Farraj al-Libbi, al-Qaida’s alleged No. 3 man who is accused of masterminding two assassination attempts against Musharraf, was captured after a shootout with Pakistani agents in the country’s northwest on May 2. He was later transferred to U.S. custody.
“No he didn’t give any information, and he still hasn’t” about bin Laden’s whereabouts, Musharraf said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But he did divulge a lot of information which led to the arrest and apprehension of, I think, 14 other individuals,” he said.
Asked if Pakistan has an idea where bin Laden currently is hiding, Musharraf said: “No we don’t at the moment. We don’t have a clear idea.”
