Where does he keep the baby gerbils?

He truly was hiding in the last place anyone would look. Next to a Women's college

Why didn't they just look on Google maps first instead of hunting him....
I JOKE.

Intelligence sources said that bin Laden had been hiding out in the $1million mansion which had ‘extraordinary’ security measures including 12ft-18ft walls surrounding it.

It was eight times larger than the surrounding homes, it was regularly serviced by couriers and residents living there routinely burned their rubbish rather than put it out on the street.

It was built in 2005 but despite the show of wealth there was no Internet of phone service linked up to the house.

The raid lasted just 40 minutes and was the result of a series of practice runs to ensure it went off flawlessly.

In addition to bin Laden one of his sons, two couriers and a woman died as she was used as a human shield when the soldiers stormed the house.

that's downtown Abbottabad, not his compound

That's not actually the location of the compound...that red thumbtack is just the location of the center of the city.

Of course in Pakistan a "Womens College" is two rooms, one in which the circumcision is performed and rapes are committed, the other room is for preparing women for stoning after they are raped.

And here everyone assumed he was hiding in a cave somewhere. He was living it up in the lap of luxury this whole time.

Apple is taking credit for tracking him via his iPhone.

Nope,it's exactly what I've been guessing since he fled Afghanistan. The only difference is I reckoned it was in Parachinar.

Now just come the fuck on and try to convince me nobody knew who lived in the newly constructed,giant mansion...other than perhaps people assuming it was a Paki gov't location-or being told it was. While they can try to claim he was perfectly hidden in plain sight,what I'd like to know is why the ISI finally decided to give him up...I'm wondering if possibly fear of the revolutions in the Arab world reaching Pakistan had anything to do with it... I'm no conspiracy kook by any means,I just am unable to believe the Paki gov't finally helped crack the case.

Pan (paan) is a word for their version of chewing tobacco.

No street view. Guess the Google car hasn't made it out there yet.
