We could hypothesize three camps in Pindi before OBL met his 72 horny virgin bulls.
1) Knew about OBL and Protected OBL at all costs (The Pure)
2) Knew about OBL but were willing to sell out to the infidels who have $$$ (The less pure, waji-bull material)
3) Did not know about OBL

(3) Would most likely contain folks who are junior, I guess every senior TSPA afsar in pindi would be either in (1) or (2). Obviously this will cause the entire TSPA to split between the pure and the impure much more visibly.

I bray to Allah (pbuh) that a million Quadris be born in Bakistan today, and may they all be in TSPA :)

MSNBC's Michael Ishikoff mentions that the house was just 2 miles off the TSPA military academy.

Yes Singhaji your theory looks very plausible there is high likelihood that they started from Amritsar and reached Jacobabad. Black hawk range suits this radius, gaganji could possibly plot this on a sat image.

Other houses seem fairly close to it as well. Also, building under a power line?? One small hurricane and the occupants could all be electrocuted. It also looks like a pretty shoddy mansion, by the look of things.
Though I am not sure if its the same house, but those power lines makes the story plausible. powerlines are bad for helos and can be switched off during an impending storm. Shoddier the exterior, the better. Sort of like our picchars in Misc Threads that sets off uniform-camo and helmet ayatollahs off.

This thing where he was holed up, it was build by pakis with loving care for him, 400%

the "took off from india" theory to me atleast sounds more believeable than took off from chaklala. chaklala is a VIP base used by the jarnails , a mouse farts there they will know.

The biggest Lulz is that there is no official statement from Paki govt or Ashphuck yet.

Groper shoots his mouth off about every incident, the pakis are in a huddle now.

Al Jazeera reports that OBL was staying in the compound for FIVE years. Means he was staying there when Mushy made his famous statement that OBL is not in Pakistan.

Pakistan has given a statement.

Ahmed Shuja Pasha gave the statement. (Not Kiyani, Zardari or Gilani)

Guys you should watch NDTV or AAj Tak or Zee News.
Indian security guys are all over these channels and everyone is baying for ISI's blood. BRF language on full flow.

they will likely hand it over to his family back in KSA if they want him...and KSA will ensure it will be a pvt ceremony in some unmarked grave somewhere, not a spectacle of millions paying homeage to the departed Pir.

This is normal for Pakis. When Bhindranwale was killed in op. bluestar in 1984, PTV showed a fake guy with dadi and Mustache saying he is alive (message was for Indians).

Rediff reported last week, AQ warning that if OBL is captured, a nuke will go off in Europe. It is on front page now on rediff.

Thanks Ramana ji, is there any way of getting some obscure hints from authorities in desh that insertion was carried out with Indian guidance? Will give more weightage to what some of us have been saying here!

This will also prove that joint naval exercises like Malabar were designed with such ops in mind!

ADDED LATER: Why cant he just be cremated after all the forensic examinations by all countries having files on him are completed?

US army helicopter raid killed Osama bin Laden

http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news ... en/784452/
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was hiding out in a mansion near a Pakistani military training academy and less than two hours' drive from Islamabad when he was killed in a dramatic CIA-led operation involving helicopters and ground troops on Sunday night.

If you read this article, somethings really fishy going on.

1. April 26th visit. May 1 operation.
2. Look at the sailors i.e. seals.....these are the healthiest sailors I've seen.
3. Something about it coming for minor repairs, a USN attack sub comes to Goa for this??? was ther a toilet malunction?
4. Reference from 2007 Nimitz visit, thats so far back, there have been so many malabars since then, again DDM giving away the story.

Not sure where they crossed the border (not necessarily from LOC) and where they took off from in India though. That would be interesting. Could have come from Leh, and taken a northern route ove sparsely populated areas.

Twitter just keeps proving its value as a news source about the Osama Bin Laden raid: check out the tweet stream of Sohaib Athar (@reallyvirtual), an IT consultant who lives in the suddenly famous Pakistani town of Abbottabad.

About 4PM ET (1AM local time), Athar tweeted that a helicopter was circling -- an unusual occurrence in the quiet town. He joked that he had to get his giant fly swatter out.

A couple minutes later, he heard a big explosion. He followed that up with a handful of tweets speculating what was up, and presenting the official government story.

Six hours later, the news broke and Athar realized what he actually heard.

Suddenly, Athar is a minor celebrity fielding emails from the mainstream media.

All he seems to want is for the power to come back on so he can have his morning coffee.

Insertion could have taken place through Chitral in Gilgit-Baltistan. If this operation was planned since August 2010, what are the possible links to deployment of 11000 PLA troops in Gilgit-Baltistan by PRC?

That development needs to be seen in new light. Is there a US-India vs TSP-PRC covert alignment going on?

Yawn: Senior ISI official confirms bin Laden killed

http://www.dawn.com/2011/05/02/senior-i ... illed.html
“Yes, I can confirm that,” one senior intelligence official told Reuters, but declined to give further details.

Another security official in Peshawar confirmed it was a joint operation between CIA and Pakistani security forces.

“It was carried out on a very precise info that some high-value target is there,” he said.

A Pakistani military helicopter crashed near Abbottabad on Sunday night, killing one and wounding two, according to Pakistani media. It was unclear if the crash was related to bin Laden’s death, but witnesses reported gunshots and heavy firing before one of two low-flying helicopters crashed near the Pakistani Military Academy.

The police blocked the road leading to Pakistan’s military academy, a Reuters photographer on the scene reported.

“I have seen tail and two wings of the chopper,” a labourer told Reuters. The fact bin Laden was apparently living in relative luxury not far from Islamabad could pose awkward questions for Pakistan.

“For some time there will be a lot of tension between Washington and Islamabad because Bin Laden seems to have been living here close to Islamabad,” said Imtiaz Gul, a security analyst.

“If the ISI had known then somebody within the ISI must have leaked this information. Pakistan will have to do a lot of damage control because the Americans have been reporting he is in Pakistan. This is a serious blow to the credibility of Pakistan.”

But defence analyst and former general Talat Masood said the fact bin Laden was killed in a joint operation would limit the damage to Pakistan’s image. “There should be a sigh of relief because this will take some pressure off of Pakistan,” said defence analyst and former general Talat Masood. “Pakistan most probably has contributed to this, and Pakistan can take some credit for this – being such an iconic figure, it’s a great achievement.”

Indian media seems to be constantly hammering on teh fact that it was a purely american op with no knawlidj on part of the ISI/PA and what this means followed by hint-hint statements. Hope it percolates amongst our people too to put pressure on our govt.

An operation of that nature and scale cannot be kept under the radar; basically Unkil did what it wanted to right under TSPA's nose.

This is not a conspiracy theory of any credit taking bravado.......
but a simple two plus two math......

About a week ago (to be precise, on Good Friday), NSA was rife with hectic activities.
Couple of important persons of technical analysis background were supposed to attend
a closed scientific meeting at a place very close to DC. Privately, the hosts of the
meeting informed that these persons are packing their bags to travel outside the country
on an mision extremely important, and happened on a last minute development............

Nobody is answering my question. Assuming TSPA/ISI were hoodwinked, how is it possible for US to pull off something like this so stealthily? Is it possible to send in helicopters and other ammunition without TSPA knowing? I find that hard to believe. Or could it be that the operation was launched, and then TSPA was informed and told them any hanky panky, GHQ and Kahuta will be dust?
