Pakistan's Minister for Information and Broadcasting has said people responsible for leaking the Abbottabad Commission report will be held accountable.

Talking to the media, Pervez Rashid said they will start by ascertaining if the leaked report is factual to begin with.

On Monday, Al Jazeera had released a leaked report by the Pakistan commission formed to probe the Osama bin Laden raid, carried out by US.

According to the Express Tribune, the independent commission's report, which had been formally handed over to the government earlier in the year, had not been released to the public.

It had revealed a scathing assessment of the Pakistani government and the security structures.

 

The report was never made public by Pakistan, until Al Jazeera got hold of it and released it online, the report added.
