Presidency spokesman Farhattullah Babar said that President Asif Ali Zardari did not talk to Chief of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani regarding May 2 operation in which US forces killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The media reports in this regard are untrue and unfounded, Babar said adding that President neither ordered the army chief to stay out of US incursion nor gave any green-signal for the same. On the other hand, a spokesman of ISPR said that there was no telephone conversation between the President and the COAS on the night between 1 and 2 May 2011. The spokesman further said that the Military leadership has briefed the Joint session of the Parliament as well as the Abbotabad Commission on the subject matter and there is nothing more to add to it. Ijaz during his testimony on Friday, when asked to name the individuals, referred to as two senior officers, who allegedly spoke on the night of the May 2 raid, while the operation in Abbottabad was in progress, replied “As far as I know it was Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani and President Asif Ali Zardari.”
