Musharraf admitted that he was “embarrassed” after one of the most wanted men was found hiding in Pakistan and said that the Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence could not be blamed for the “slip-up” that saw Osama residing in Abbottabad.

Former president terms Obama’s threat to strike again ‘arrogant’.
NEW DELHI: The US raid which killed al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was technically “an act of war”, said former president Pervez Musharraf, Hindustan Times reported.
Musharraf described US President Barack Obama’s statement that he would order another raid if necessary as “arrogant”. Bin Laden was gunned down on May 2 by US Special Forces who attacked his hideout in Abbottabad. The US said it had carried out a unilateral assault.
Musharraf told CNN: “No country has a right to intrude into any other country.”
He added: “Actually, technically, legally, you see it, it’s an act of war. So I think it is an irresponsible statement, and I think such arrogance should not be shown, publicly, to the world.”
He, however, added it would not necessarily signal a war.
“How to deal with it, is the question. I leave it to the government there to [decide] how they want to deal with it,” said the ex-president.
