Osama Killed in Pakistan Army Town

Bin Laden was gunned down in a compound 100 yards from Pakistan Military Academy, in the town of Abbottabad, which is filled with military personnel. This all happened 35km north of Islamabad. Well, remember that Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was captured in Rawalpindi.

Nice colonial era town, not far from Kashmir.

Where are the photos of his bullet ridden body? They forgot to take photos?

They don't want to create a martyr cult; like how the Shia rose after M'med's grandson was killed. This is the best way - burial at sea, fake photos released. Steve Coll had a good piece in the New Yorker on how Pakistanis must have known OBL's presence. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2011/05/notes-on-the-death-of-osama-bin-laden.html#ixzz1LD7FnG6O
