CIA trained Pakistanis to hunt bin Laden in 1999 covert plan
The Washington Post reports the CIA secretly trained about 60 Pakistani intelligence officers to capture or kill Osama bin Laden in 1999. Arranged by Nawaz Sharif and his intelligence chief, the plan promised sanctions relief and aid, but Sharif was ousted that year and the plan was shelved. The effort followed 1998 cruise missile strikes and preceded broader talks of possible actions. Sudan later offered to arrest bin Laden in 1996, but the Saudis declined and the case stalled.
