Abstract
This research paper draws on the official stand of Pakistan after the killing of
Osama bin Laden in Operation ‘Neptune Spear’ in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin
Laden’s death was one of the historic events in the ‘War on Terror’ as he was
chased by US and her allies for more than a decade. All the news items carrying
the official stand of Pakistan and published in the Dawn newspaper, from May 3,
2011 to May 12, 2011, have been selected and studied in this research study. The
findings – based on the content analysis – show that Pakistani officials were less
in sight on the issue of Abbottabad Operation and bin Laden’s killing. It further
shows that there was lack of coordination between the Pakistani military and
civilian leadership over the issue – besides no media strategy to control the
public opinion and possible damage.
