He was in a mansion?
Really?

So while his followers were living in squalor until time to blow themselves up for his cause, bin Laden was living in a mansion just outside of a major city

Interesting.

6. AJE Pakistani correspondent said



the compound/mansion/farmhouse was "very close" to the Pakistani Military Academy.

If it's true, guess it was the Pakistani equivalent of living next to West Point.
