Osama bin Laden dead: killed yards from Pakistan's 'Sandhurst'
2011-05-02
Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces just 800 yards from PakistanÂ’s top military academy which is seen as the equivalent of Sandhurst.

The most wanted man in the world was living in a secure compound in the town of Abbottabad, 60 miles north of the capital Islamabad.

His fortress-style property – described as “custom built to hide someone of significance” – was only a short distance from the Kakul Military Academy, which trains officers of the Pakistan army. The academy is one of several military strongholds in the town.

His proximity to Kakul prompted questions over how much the Pakistani security services knew about his whereabouts.
