I think we can't believe anything the government says. Show us the video from the dozen drones that were circling the Bin Laden compound.

Was Osama killed by US troops or his own guard?

PESHAWAR: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed along with his son and three bodyguards in a helicopter assault on a mansion in the northern city of Abbottabad late Sunday night to bring to an end the biggest-ever manhunt by the United States.

Reports suggest that Bin Laden was shot dead with a single bullet to his head when he resisted capture, but an official indicated that the 54-year-old mastermind of the biggest and most devastating attack on US soil might have been killed by one of his own guards in line with his will to avert his capture.

The compound known as Waziristan Haveli among the locals, said a local resident, was owned by a transporter from Waziristan.

“The Waziristanis were good people. They used to socialise with the local community, attend their weddings and funerals,” the resident said. “But nobody had a clue to the presence of Osama and his family there,” Jehanzeb Jadoon said.

But even by the local standards, Jadoon said, the forewalls were 15 to 20 feet high with barbed wire. “This was unusual for a place like Abbottabad,” the official concurred.

But a security official said that the Waziristani transporters’ connection could give them clues as to how the Bin Ladens managed to travel all the way to this place. Security agencies have now launched search for the Waziristani owner of the sprawling compound, adjacent to an agricultural land that provides the shortest route to the nearby military academy.

The mansion was built some five years ago, Jadoon said and the official acknowledged that it might have been built close to a high security zone to protect it from the prying eyes of foreign intelligence operatives and electronic surveillance and predator drones.

This would make sense, an analyst said. “Osama was known to suffer from kidney ailment and was always in need of dialysis,” the analyst said. “But that he would live a quiet family life with his wives and children, away from the rugged hot-zones of the tribal regions, in a picturesque and scenic place like Abbottabad was beyond anybody’s imaginations.”
