Members of the Pakistani government know the location of Osama bin Laden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last night.

In an interview with Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren, Clinton said “elements in the government” know where the most wanted terrorist in the world is hiding.

“I think that because if I put myself into a position of leadership in our own government, and if there were a terrorist network operating somewhere, even in the most remote place in the United States, some sheriff, some local state policeman, somebody in our collective government would probably know that there was something suspicious going on,” Clinton said.

“So that’s why I assume somebody, somebody in this government, from top to bottom, does know where bin Laden is. And I’d like to know too.”

Clinton added that the Pakistani government as a whole has helped in the fight against al Qaeda.

“I think it is also important for your viewers to know we have been getting â€" with Pakistani cooperation â€" a lot of the top leadership of al Qaeda,” she said.
