Disturbing that Imran Khan called Laden a martyr, US never forgot 9/11: John Bolton

India Today  

Recalling how Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan dubbed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden as a "shaheed" a few days ago, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton said Khan's comment concerns the US. John Bolton told India Today Group Editorial Director Raj Chengappa in an exclusive interview, "We were disturbed a few days ago when Imran Khan discussed Osama bin Laden and really put him up on the pedestal that's not worth a terrorist of that sort. When asked if he thinks that the US should act tougher with Pakistan, John Bolton said, "I have a very pessimistic view about the negotiations with the Taliban that the US has been engaged in. Speaking about Imran Khan, General Bajwa and the Pakistan government in general, John Bolton said: "When the leadership in Pakistan changes, we were hopeful that it will mark new opportunities to help resolve the issue."
