'World's Worst Intelligence': Piers Morgan Slams Pakistan Analyst Over His 'Utterly Ludicrous' Osama Bin Laden Claim (VIDEO)

A fiery on-air exchange unfolded on Piers Morgan Uncensored as the British broadcaster lashed out at Pakistani political analyst Shehzad Ghias Shaikh over his remarks concerning Osama Bin Laden’s presence in Pakistan before his death.

The clash erupted during a debate on documents recovered from Bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound, which continue to stir controversy over Pakistan’s role or lack of awareness in harboring the world’s most wanted terrorist.

Morgan Calls Shaikh's Claim 'Utterly Ludicrous'

During the segment, Shaikh asserted that Bin Laden had been trying to evade Pakistani intelligence and that the now-declassified "Bin Laden papers," numbering over 470,000, confirmed this. “The Bin Laden papers were not released by Pakistan. They were released by American intelligence. The documents clearly state Osama bin Laden was trying to hide from Pakistani intelligence,” Shaikh argued.

Dear Pakistani liberals, you have a better chance of convincing the world that the sky is yellow than convincing them Pakistan wasn’t sheltering OBL.

Why? Because I used to believe that too—until I realised OBL wasn’t the only one we were hiding.pic.twitter.com/ysLMVlByTB

Morgan interrupted and said, “Sorry, with the best will in the world, what you just said is utterly ludicrous. Osama bin Laden was found literally living in a house, a few hundred yards from Pakistan’s main military bases.” Morgan went on to say that either Pakistan’s intelligence was “the worst in the world,” or it was complicit in shielding Bin Laden.

Bin Laden Documents Sill a Point of Global Debate

The documents in question, seized by US Navy SEALs during the 2011 raid that killed Bin Laden, have been made publicly available by the CIA and analysed by various intelligence and academic institutions. While some records indicate Bin Laden's deep paranoia and efforts to stay off intelligence radars, critics argue that his ability to remain in a fortified compound near Pakistan’s military facilities raises serious questions.

The location of Bin Laden’s hideout, just a short distance from the Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad, has long fueled suspicions among Western observers. Morgan highlighted this, suggesting that the notion of total Pakistani ignorance “defied belief.”
