Washington, Dec 1: President Pervez Musharraf has refused to say what he would do with al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in case he was captured, and said: "I don’t think the media is the one who needs to know."

He further declined to comment whether Pakistan would hand over Bin Laden to the US.

"I think the people who need to know, know it," Musharraf said in an interview to the ABC Morning Show.

Musharraf blamed the US for its inconsistent support over the past 30 years, saying that Washington had turned a blind eye to terrorism until the 9/11 attacks.

"We handled the situation alone for 12 years," he added.

He said the West must share blame for Pakistan’s current political crisis.

"If there’s a failure, it’s not Pakistan’s failure," recalling that after 10 years of being together in the Afghan "jihad", the US had left Pakistan alone to deal with the aftermath, Musharraf claimed. (ANI)
