) -- Afghan spies had intelligence leads four years ago that pointed to an area close to where Osama bin Laden was hiding, according to Afghanistan's former spy chief.
But Pervez Musharraf -- then Pakistan's president -- refused to take action despite receiving detailed reports, said Amrullah Saleh.
CNN cannot independently confirm Saleh's account and Musharraf could not be immediately reached for comment, though he has long denied having knowledge of bin Laden's whereabouts.
But Saleh said his network of spies and informants had in 2007 uncovered al Qaeda safe houses deep inside Pakistan believed to be connected to the once-elusive al Qaeda leader, and that the former Pakistani president had disregarded those reports.
"We did a lot of work in the tribal areas of Pakistan... going village to village, recruiting random informants," Saleh told CNN.
"We came to the conclusion that bin Laden was not in the tribal areas."
The former spy chief said he then directed intelligence sources to Pakistan proper, identifying al Qaeda safe houses in a town called Manshera, a short drive from what turned out to be bin Laden's lair.
Saleh said the intelligence reports provided good information, though not what he considered to be "actionable intelligence."

COMMENT: So everything is known now, what's with Bin Laden? Leave him alone, he is dead now, led him rest in peace, his life had been so tragical, well now he is dead, and he made so much damage but that's not a reason to keep bothering with him.
