Piers Morgan Clashes with Pakistani Comedian Over Osama Bin Laden
The controversy surrounding Osama bin Laden's death and Pakistan's alleged military-terror nexus continues to be a topic of debate, with many questioning the role of Pakistani intelligence in detecting and preventing terrorist activities. The discussion on Piers Morgan Uncensored sheds light on the complexities of the issue and the need for a more nuanced understanding of the circumstances surrounding bin Laden's death.
British journalist Piers Morgan recently engaged in a heated debate with Pakistani comedian Shehzad Ghias Shaikh on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored, discussing the circumstances surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden. Morgan disputed Shaikh's claims that bin Laden was trying to hide from Pakistani intelligence, calling it "utterly ludicrous" and pointing to evidence suggesting the opposite.
The debate centered around the fact that bin Laden was found living near a Pakistani military base, with Morgan questioning how Pakistani intelligence could have been unaware of his presence. He described the Pakistani intelligence as "the worst in history" for failing to detect bin Laden, who was found just a few hundred yards from a major military base. Morgan also cited the 470,000 documents released by the US, which according to a book by Nelly Lahoud, show that bin Laden was hiding in plain sight.
The exchange was part of a larger discussion on the alleged military-terror nexus in Pakistan, with Morgan confronting another Pakistani guest, Ranveer Allahbadia, over his claims about state-sponsored terrorism. Allahbadia attempted to deflect the criticism by bringing up the role of other intelligence agencies, such as Mossad and the CIA, but Morgan maintained that the presence of bin Laden near a Pakistani military base was undeniable.
The debate highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding Pakistan's alleged links to terrorism and the circumstances surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden. The discussion between Piers Morgan and his Pakistani guests underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in addressing these complex issues.
