In August 2010, a "Former senior Pakistani intelligence officer who was knowledgeable about the initial intelligence about bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad" approached the CIA's station chief at the US embassy in Islamabad to report bin Laden's whereabouts.

Once confronted by the US about bin Laden's location following the "Walk-in" source's information, Pakistan sought increased military aid and a "Freer hand in Afghanistan" from the US in exchange for bin Laden.
