According to the official story Pakistan didn't know about Osama Bin Ladin's location at the time of his death.

Isn't the official story that the US didn't know that Pakistan knew? As in, it's both possible that Pakistan knew/ didn't know, but the US didn't know one way or another.

I'm assuming you're talking about the US's official story.

Googling a bit it seems that various people do say different things about the likelihood of Pakistan knowing. If I would formulate the question again I might drop the word official and ask directly for whether Pakistan knew.

I think this question is still okay in this form because it asks directly for whether the respondent of the poll believes Pakistan to have known.
