Officials say two high-level Obama administration officials have launched a push to try repair relations with Pakistan following the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Shortly before his death, Osama bin Laden recorded a message praising the Middle East protest movements and predicting that revolutions would spread across the region.
Top US defense officials said on Wednesday there was no evidence Pakistan's leadership was aware Osama bin Laden was in their country before a US military raid killed him.
Pakistan already has paid dearly for its failure to know or acknowledge that Osama bin Laden was hiding for more than five years in a compound a short distance from a Pakistani military facility, Pentagon leaders insisted Wednesday.
US Senator John Kerry will push Pakistani leaders on Monday to explain how Osama bin Laden was able to hide in their country for years, without further inflaming Pakistani anger over the US raid that killed the al Qaeda chief.
Osama bin Laden cut himself off from direct access to the Internet during his final years in Pakistan as he attempted to elude the CIA. But the terror group he founded has been able to seize the power of the Web to spawn an army of online followers who will prolong al-Qaida's war against the West long after his demise.
A sizeable stash of pornography was among the items seized when US Navy SEALs raided the Pakistani hideout of Osama bin Laden, almost two weeks ago, US officials say.
Pakistan's intelligence chief informed the in-camera session that the United States had used stealth technology on its helicopters that could not be detected by the radars when they raided bin Laden's compound.
Political debate over whether Bush administration interrogation practices had helped find Osama bin Laden heated up on Thursday when Senator John McCain said torture of detained militants did not help locate the al Qaeda leader.
The real breakthrough that led to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden came from a mysterious CIA detainee, Hassan Ghul, according to a Reuters special report published on Thursday.
Pakistan on Thursday summoned the US ambassador to Islamabad to protest the violation of national sovereignty through the operation conducted by US forces in the country's northwestern city of Abbottabad.
A Republican who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee viewed the death photos of Osama bin Laden on Wednesday and said the pictures - some gruesome - leave no doubt the al Qaeda leader is dead.
