ISLAMABAD — By leaking the name of the CIA's station chief in Islamabad to the news media, Pakistan authorities were deliberately attempting to complicate the U.S. spy agency's work after the raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, The New York Times reported Monday.

The release of such sensitive information, the second time the CIA's top spy in Islamabad has been leaked in the past five months, shows a developing rift between the two agencies, the Times said, citing American and Pakistani officials.

Pakistan's prime minister said Monday that Laden's death in an American raid was "indeed justice done" and rejected allegations that national authorities were either complicit in hiding the al-Qaida chief or incompetent in tracking him down.

But Yousuf Raza Gilani also warned Washington that future unilateral strikes could be met with "full force."

Gilani expressed confidence in Pakistan's military and Inter-Services Intelligence agency, known as the ISI, which have been heavily criticized for failing to confront the U.S. Navy SEALs who conducted last week's helicopter raid without notifying Pakistan first.
