Pakistan didn't know about Osama Bin Ladin's location at the time of his death.
Given the location where OBL was eventually found, this "official story" is not plausible in the least, and everyone knows that. The only reason for its existence is nobody wants to 'officially' admit that Pakistan was running a _scam_ on the U.S. by asking for $$$ "to help search for Bin Ladin", and the U.S. government fell for it for quite a while.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
