Former prime minister and seasoned leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) from south Punjab, Yusuf Raza Gilani, has stated that  prior to the CIA operation in Abbottabad, former US secretary of  state Condoleezza Rice had alerted Pakistan about Osama bin Laden’s presence in the country. In an interview, Gilani revealed that Rice had expressed concern  about Osama being in Pakistan during her visit. The prime minister at the time refuted this, claiming it was false  information.

Gilani was the prime minister from 2008 to 2012.
