    Osama bin Laden's home reduced to rubble, removing a reminder of Pakistan terror links

    By Anjum Naveed, The Associated Press | Associated Press – Mon, Feb 27, 2012

    ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani authorities have reduced the house where Osama bin Laden lived for years before he was killed by U.S. commandos to rubble, destroying a concrete symbol of the country's association with one of the world's most reviled men.

    Workers completed the demolition job in this garrison town in northwest Pakistan Monday.

    The al-Qaida leader moved into the three-story house in 2005. Acting on intelligence gathered by the CIA, a team of U.S. commandoes flew in by helicopter from Afghanistan and killed bin Laden on May 2 before dumping his body at sea hours later.

    The operation left Pakistan's army in the awkward position of explaining why it had not detected the U.S. raid, and how bin Laden was able to live in Abbottabad without the government's knowledge.

      I bet that Yemeni girl whose her father gave her to OBL when she was still underage, who had to service that old billy goat locked away in that hell hole for 6 years, is glad to see her sex slave prison torn down. His 5th "wife" was it?

      And he is the hero to tens of millions of Muslims and Pakistani's are enraged that we brought him down. I have yet to heard muslims decry either him or that barbaric practice of enslaving women that way. Boy, that tells the story right there, don't it?

      They're going to have to rebuild the compound. It turns out that the bank that owned the mortgage on the place used robo signing on the foreclosure documents.
