Obama: Bin Laden Had “Support Network” Inside Pakistan 
-----------------------------------------------------------



Tension between Pakistan and the United States continues to rise
following the U.S. killing of Osama bin Laden. On Sunday, President
Obama appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes and said bin Laden had some sort of a
support network inside Pakistan.

President Barack Obama: “But we don't know who or what that support
network was. We don't know whether there might have been some people
inside of government, people outside of government. And that's something
that we have to investigate and, more importantly, the Pakistani
government has to investigate.”

Over the weekend, the Obama administration demanded Pakistan allow U.S.
investigators access to bin Laden's three widows who were at the bin
Laden compound last week.
