London:
Britain and France have raised doubts over Pakistan's contention that Osama bin Laden went unnoticed in his Abbottabad mansion, and vowed to seek explanation from the country on the issue.
As Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani headed to France, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in Paris that Pakistan's position "lacks clarity" and that he will ask Mr Gilani "to explain" the happenings in Abbottabad.
In London, British Prime Minister James Cameron told the House of Commons that the Al-Qaeda leader's ability to live in a large house in Pakistan showed he had an "extensive support network" in the country and it was right to ask "searching questions" about that.
The killing of bin Laden in the heart of Pakistan by US Special Forces has raised many embarrassing questions for Pakistan which has said it was not aware of the Al-Qaeda leader's presence in the city.
"I find it a little difficult to imagine that the presence of someone like bin Laden in a big compound in a relatively small town could go completely unnoticed," Juppe said, ahead of a dinner with Mr Gilani.
"I will ask Mr Gilani this evening... to explain how things happened and so we will have a dialogue which I hope will be enlightening," Juppe said.
"Pakistan's position lacks clarity in our view, I hope that we will have more clarity," he added.
Cameron, on his part, also made it a point to state that Pakistan has suffered more from terrorism than any other country in the world and that bin Laden "was an enemy of Pakistan".
The British Prime Minister said given his presence in that area of Pakistan, bin Laden appears to have had an "extensive support network" in the country.
He called the killing of bin Laden was a "strike at the heart of international terrorism" and the UK would continue to co-operate with Pakistan and honour its aid promises because it was in "Britain's national interest," according to BBC.
"We don't know the extent of that network so it is right that we ask searching questions about it and we will," he said.
