Delay in get-Osama operation was a big mistake: Ex-DIA chief

KABUL (Pajhwok): A former director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has said the Americans instead of joint intelligence operations should have conducted joint military action in Pakistan against Al Qaeda remnants.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who retired last year as the agency’s head, was also the Director of Intelligence of ISAF in Afghanistan. He told the BBC Urdu the US should have gone after those involved in the 9/11 attacks and if these elements had been in Pakistan or had left that country as they saw, the US should have put pressure on . . .
