Last night, Pakistani Sohaib Athar unwittingly Tweeted Osama's death raid, writing things like
"Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)."
"Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation"
"people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful."
In a few hours, people realized that he had been tweeting the killing operation, and first the Internet descended on him in a swarm:
"Interesting, I didn't think my name would trend on twtter before releasing a couple of rock albums and a few award-winning software...."
This morning he notes
"Can't believe #binladen lived right next to my grandma's home in #abbottabad." and twits the above pic with
"Here's a picture of OBL's hideout in Abbottabad, as shared by a friend"
A nice quiet hideout for retirement, in what looks like
a nice town and a good section of the country.
