The United States did not notify partners about Osama bin Laden's whereabouts before the operation that killed the al Qaeda leader and it appeared Pakistan was not aware of his location, officials said.
"This was a unilateral US ooperation ... We did not notify any of our counter-terrorism partners in advance," a senior US defense official said on Monday, a day after President Barack Obama announced bin Laden had been killed near Islamabad. (Reuters)
