MONTREAL — Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf doubts that Osama bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan for years and is challenging the United States to prove it.
Speaking to business leaders in Montreal today, the retired general says the U.S. must kill the conspiracy theories by releasing evidence the world's most wanted man was holed up in a compound in Pakistan for years.
He blames the fact bin Laden flew under the radar in Pakistan on "negligence" and "incompetence" among authorities, but not complicity.
Musharraf says the two countries must fix their lack of trust for each other.
He also says he plans to return to Pakistan in the coming months.
Musharraf is expected to re-enter politics after his return. The Canadian Press
