Osama's hideaway

Pakistani policemen stand guard outside a burnt compound at the hideout of Osama bin Laden following his death by U.S. Special Forces in a ground operation in Abbottabad on May 3, 2011. Bin Laden had lived at the fortified compound for six years, U.S. officials said, putting him far from the lawless and harsh Pakistani frontier where he had been assumed to be hiding out.
