Ex-Pakistan ambassador to US Abida Hussain claims Osama Bin Laden once funded Nawaz Sharif
Islamabad: Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States Abida Hussain has alleged that former Al-Qaeda chief and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden had funded former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
“Yes, he (Osama Bin Laden) supported Mian Nawaz Sharif at one time. However, that is a complicated story," she was quoted as saying by The News International.
“He [Osama] used to extend financial assistance [to Nawaz Sharif]",” she said in an interview with a private television channel as quoted by the newspaper.
Abida had also served as an ex-cabinet member in Nawaz Sharif’s government.
She recalled that at one time Osama Bin Laden was popular and liked by everyone including the Americans, but at a later stage, he was treated as a stranger.
