Doing some tough talk on Pakistan, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said some people in its government are aware of the whereabouts of elusive al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and Taliban chief Mullah Omar."Some Pakistani officials are more informed about al-Qaeda and Taliban than they let on," Clinton told CBS in an interview."I am not saying that they are at the highest levels but I believe that somewhere in this government are people who know where Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda is, where Mullah Omar and the leadership of the Afghan Taliban is, and we expect more cooperation to help us bring to justice, capture or kill, those who attacked us on 9/11," she said.Over the weekend, Clinton warned Pakistan that it would face "very severe consequences" if any terror plot like the failed Times Square bombing was traced to that country.Asked if the US was not getting sufficient cooperation from Islamabad, she acknowledged a "sea change" in cooperation by Pakistan but said "we want more".Her comments came as US officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, said they had evidence that the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attempt to set off a car bomb in Times Square.
