May 02, 2011 19:12 IST

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised questions over the role of Pakistan and its agencies in tracking down of world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a Central Intelligence Agency operation on Monday morning.

"Did Pakistan give up OBL (Osama bin Laden) or did they get caught out? (A) 25 million dollar question," he wrote on the micro-blogging site twitter.com.

"Well, perhaps the fact that this couldn't have happened without the active involvement of Pakistan/ISI will help cool things," he said.

As the social networking sites were abuzz with discussion over Laden's end, the chief minister also chipped in with his opinion.

"OBL 'buried at sea'. The conspiracy theorists couldn't have asked for a better start. Bring it on now," he quipped.

Responding to comments of twitterati he follows, Omar said Prince William and Kate Middleton, who got married last weekend, need to thank United States President Barack Obama for not messing up the wedding.

"Will & Kate need to thank Obama for not messing the wedding. He hadn't been invited and could have really rained on their parade," he said.

"How convenient that this (killing of Laden) didn't clash with two days of royal wedding coverage, that would have been a disaster," he said in another tweet.
