The West Point report notes that “there are no explicit references to any institutional Pakistani support for al-Qaeda and its operatives,” but media report said that if any such references were there these would be confidential..

It is said the documents seized from bin Laden’s last redoubt in Abbottabad gave only incomplete answers to al-Qaeda’s ties to the Pakistani establishment, despite persistent suspicion that the ISI helped shelter him.

The Combating Terrorism Center acknowledged, however, that it had no access to thousands of bin Laden records that have not been made public. A White House spokesman yesterday said that no additional releases are planned.

But on bin Laden’s relations with Iran, the seized papers depict a “suspicious and hostile relationship between him and Tehran.” Bin Laden grew wary of the Iran after Tehran apprehended his family members, operatives and their relatives, who fled Afghanistan after the US invasion in 2001.

The al-Qaeda chief secures the release of some of those held including his own family members by kidnapping an official at the Iranian Consulate in Peshawar.

So paranoid was bin Laden that he instructed his family members to “shed everything they received from Iran like baggage or anything even as small as needle as there are eavesdropping chips that are developed to be so small.

He also passed on secret word to his family making way from Iran to Pakistan to make sure that they were not followed as he feared that troops might track him to his location. He also told them to change vehicles inside the tunnel between Kohat and Peshawar to lead off any pursuers.
