The newspaper, citing senior U.S. officials briefed on the findings, reported on Thursday that the discovery indicated that bin Laden used the group, Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen, as part of his support network inside Pakistan.
The cell phone belonged to bin Laden's courier, who was killed along with the al Qaeda leader in the May 2 raid by U.S. special forces on bin Laden's compound in the garrison town of Abbottabad, the Times said.
Pakistan army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said in a statement sent by text message that the military "rejects the insinuations made in the NYT story".
"It is part of a well orchestrated smear campaign against our security organisations," he said.
The army has been angered by media reports that elements in the Pakistani security establishment may have helped bin Laden hide in Pakistan.
"Pakistan, its security forces have suffered the most at the hands of al Qaeda and have delivered the most against al Qaeda; our actions on the ground speak louder than the words of the Times," Abbas said.
In tracing calls on the cell phone, U.S. analysts determined that Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen commanders had called Pakistani intelligence officials, the Times reported, citing the senior American officials.
The officials added the contacts were not necessarily about bin Laden and his protection and that there was no "smoking gun" showing that Pakistan's spy agency had protected bin Laden.

This is what I think:
The Pakistan government knows that Osama bin Laden has been dead since 2001.
They decided to go along with the U.S. "raid on Osama's hideout" fraud in hopes that it would give the U.S. a face saving way to get out of Pakistan.
Osama's "cell phone" tells us nothing about bin Laden but everything about who the U.S. wants to target.
The U.S. keeps using fake information found in "Osama's lair" to justify going after whoever they want to.
I wonder if at some point Pakistan will become fed up with this fraud and come clean and tell the world what really happened. (If they haven't destroyed their credibility going along with the Osama lie.)
People that believe the bin Laden fairytale are incredibly gullible and probably also believe the 9-11 fairytale.
I did have this at the end of the post, but thought someone might think I was actually serious.

Muhammad Yahya - Thanks for the invitation. I visited your site and would highly recommend it, I learned a lot about Pakistan's history that I was unaware of.
