CIA chief says some interrogation techniques led to Osama bin Laden.
CIA Director John Brennan said on Thursday the CIA believes that information gained from detainees who were subjected to "enhanced" interrogation helped locate al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in 2011.
He made the comments at a news conference at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Brennan's news conference came two days after the release of a U.S. Senate report that found that the CIA misled the White House and the public about its torture of detainees after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and acted more brutally and pervasively than it acknowledged.
The CIA chief also said he has spoken with a number of his counterparts around the world in recent days and he said many U.S. allies have expressed "strong concern" about the release of the report.
