our stan grant is there. and, stan, for a long time, people assume head might be hufr hunkered down. the killing took place in neighboring pakistan. what is the reaction there in kabul as a result of this image and as a result of the raid and the killing? >> let's talk about where he was found in pakistan. you're right. many people had assumed for some time. he was found inside afghanistan itself. this is where he may have been for many, more years before he came here to night against the soefb yets. so he's been there a very long time and formed that alliance with the taliban. there ee a feeling of speculation that he may have been there. but there were others inside this kun aretry who said for some time, no, he was, in fact, in pakistan. dr. abdul la abdul la was one. i spoke to him just the other day. . he reminded me that he had pointed this out numerous times. he was asking questions why did the pakistanis not know. if they did know, what duh it say about how seriously they're taking this war against the

let's bring in cnn's stan grant who's in islamabad. it seems neither side trusts the other. what are you hearing? >> reporter: yeah, fredricka. this relationship, to be frank, has probably never really been based on trust. it's really been about strategy, if you go back before 9/11, there was a period when the u.s. cut off aid entirely to pakistan. after 9/11, the relationship did change. pakistan signed on with the war on terror and a lot of money has been flowing this way in the wake of osama bin laden's death, there have been a lot of questions asked, especially in the united states, about what was actually known here. those questions also being asked here. there was a joint seating of parliament. the heads of the military and the intelligence service giving evidence, we understand reportedly it was quite a fiery meeting in part. but at the end, there was a resolution to condemn this action by the united states. this incursion into pakistan air space, this disrespect, as they say for pakistan's sovereignty, carrying out this attack on osama bin laden. and the warning, as

stan grant is in islamabad with the latest. >> reporter: frank and candid. the description of these talks here between hillary clinton and the top leadership in pakistan. the secretary of state came here with a simple message -- the united states puts a lot of money into pakistan, billions of dollars every year, and wants more of a return on that investment. what they're looking for is for pakistan to go even harder against the insurgents to break up any al qaeda cells and to also clamp down on the pakistan-afghanistan border. all of that to aid the u.s. effort in afghanistan as it looks to try to stabilize the country and draw down the number of troops. on the pakistan side, still a lot of concerns about the secret raid that killed osama bin laden. pakistan says that violated its sovereignty. it is looking for more intelligence sharing, more of a commitment to cooperation from the united states and more joint efforts in the future. but at the same time, the government here is dealing with the rising tide of anti-americanism. many people pointing the finger

cnn's stan grant joins us from the pakistani capital of islamabad.atest that you have that you can tell us about this attack? >> reporter: randi, as you say, there have been a series of attacks since osama bin laden was killed. the pakistani taliban saying that they are out to eveng his death. they're trying to show that they have the fire power to do it. now american and nato targets are very high on their list. that's why we saw this convoy of u.s. vehicles from the u.s. embassy that were targeted today. we were speaking to police in the area. they say a car loaded with explosives, about 50 kilograms of explosives was parked by the side of the road. as the convoy went by it was detonated by remote control. only 11 people were injured in this attack. the fears were that it could have been much higher than that. we understand two of those were foreigners but the injuries are only slight. one person, however, was killed. that was a civilian, bystander, according to police there. but this is part of the p taliban's strategy, going after more an more ta

more detalsz from our senior international correspondent, stan grant who joins me from islamabad. what's the latest on the situation right now? >> reporter: yeah, as you sketched this, it'sed on hour after hour since the militants turned up with hand grenades and launchers, as well as weapons and they breached the security, got inside the naval base. and there have been multiple explosions since then and running gun battles with navy and army commandos, special forces units that were sent in there to try to root out the militants. the target i peered to be a p3 orion plane. two of them have been damaged or destroyed as a result of this raid. and the militants are holed up there inside. the real questions here apart from the fact that the number of people who have been killed or injured is just how this could have happened. and of course the taliban claiming responsibility, zain, saying it's in retaliation for the ongoing operations against them by the pakistani military. >> how secure are other installations in pakistan? is the pakistani military up to protecting them? or up to fi

. >> stan grant, live tonight. thank you. >> for more on what kind of a deal bin laden wanted from pakistan. >> reporter: that treasure trove that they hauled from the bin laden compound, analysts have been pouring over it the past week or so. they discovered documents that says osama bin laden and his aides talked about a deal, going to pakistan, saying look, we won't attack you, pakistan. in exchange, you allow our senior leadership to live here, basically to protect us. all of these come from messages between bin laden and his top operation chief over the last year. the key thing is, though, u.s. officials now tell us that they don't see an actual request by al qaeda. in other words, they don't see anything in which they actually went to pakistani officials with this offer on the table. they say it looks to be at this point just in the discussion phase by al qaeda leaders. >> just in the discussion phase, chris, that's an important point. is there anything that sheds any light on the relationship if there was a

and stan grant is live there. what are you hearing?ple up, and have they been watching the tapes being released? >> reporter: yes, the reaction from anyone here, drew, it's very early in the morning here, so no chance of getting to talk to anyone yet, but it's going to be interesting to see the reaction here. because over the past week, i had a chance to talk to people on the street about the death of osama bin laden. initially, people were reluctant to believe it. a, they had heard the stories before and why should they believe them now? secondly, he had built up this myth, this aura of invincibility in their minds. he loomed so large in their lives for such a long time, and the fact he had been able to evade capture had led people to believe he was almost invincible. to see these images now is going to shake that mythology, shake that image. he carefully cultivated his image, osama bin laden. whenever he would make a clerical statement, you would see him wearing clerical robes, donning battle fatigues at other times. this is how he c

stan grant is live in islamabad, pakistan, this morning.ficant they're now agreeing to return that piece? >> yeah. because senator kerry came here for a discussion about how to in his words re-set this relationship. this relationship has really been under the microscope since the killing of osama bin laden. many are talking about a new law and it is so important strategically and what senator kerry said was this, pakistan needs to decide what sort of country it wants to be, whether it wants to be a democracy or a country a haven for terrorists. to get this relationship back on track he was looking for concrete measures. one of these measures is the return of this helicopter that was downed during the osama bin laden raid. you might recall there was some correlation a little earlier perhaps the pakistanis may allow the chinese, of course a long-standing ally of pakistan, to look at this chopper, but now it appears kerry has won this concession and it is going to be sent back to the united states. we have not had confirmation that has happene

stan grant is joining us from islamabad to sort all of this out. about this clash that happened on the border. >> reporter: yes, the timing here is absolutely critical. because john kerry was here just 24 hours ago trying to restart this relationship with pakistan. so many sensitivity about pakistan and that's what led to this clash today. according to the pakistan military, two nato choppers crossed the border into pakistan, nato choppers returned fire wounding two pakistani service men, as well. this is an incident that has happened in the past, but since the death of osama bin laden, it's brought so much of this really to the fore, so much mistrust, so much suspicious and it leads to situations like we've seen just here today. really can't help at a time when the u.s. is trying to nail down this relationship. >> and i can't help but notice we're hearing the call to prayer behind you. the clash, this border clash also comes it at the same time that you have pakistan returning the tail of a u.s. helicopter that was used in the raid to kill osama b
