Pakistan has given the CIA the greenlight to search the compound where Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden.

MSNBC reports-- U.S. officials say the Abbottabad site needs a more thorough look, since the assault team was there for only 40 minutes. Former CIA officer Zachary Greenhill sums up what the CIA is looking for.
 
Zachary Greenhill (Former CIA officer): “What they’ll be looking for primarily is DNA.  They would be looking for DNA of others in the leadership group as well as just below the leadership group. They’ll go in with infrared equipment, Xrays, and other important devices to see if there are hidden cavities in the wall.”
         
According to The Washington Post, the agreement follows a discussion between the head of Pakistan’s main intelligence service and CIA Deputy Director Michael J.Morell during his trip to Islamabad last week.
 
“Pakistan’s agreement is considered an encouraging sign that the two spy services will continue cooperating despite anger in Islamabad about the American operation to kill bin Laden and a series of recent ruptures between the CIA and its Pakistani counterpart.”

And The Guardian points out -- the search permit comes on the eve of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unexpected visit to Islamabad.

“Now CIA agents could enter the house in the coming days – a sign of a slow thaw in relations that Clinton will seek to build upon during meetings with military and civilian leaders in Islamabad.”

 But does this agreement signal an improvement in U.S.-Pakistan relations? CBS’ Bob Orr reports-- it looks like it’s getting better, but there’s still work to be done.
 
 “There is still considerable distrust on both sides. The Pakistani officials angry they were not on the loop of the raid. At the same time, US officials continue to suspect that somebody at some level inside Pakistan might had helped bin Laden hide.”
 
During Secretary Clinton’s visit to Pakistan, BBC reports she said there is no evidence that any high-ranking Pakistani officials knew Bin Laden was living the country.
