Questions about the U.S. raid at Abottabad on May 1, 2011, that killed Osama Bin Laden. Was a Pakistani military helicopter involved in the raid as the Pakistanis say. President Obama said that the U.S. did not trust anyone, especially knowing where he was located. Abbottabad is 40 miles from Islamabad, and the location of a Pakistani military academy. Obama's statement that no intelligence was shared with the Pakistanis makes sense till the next question that comes up immediately.That question is how American helicopters took off close to the Osama compound- in an area with a large military presence- without the Pakistani military knowing.

Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda

The death of Osama Bin Laden in a U.S. raid at Abbotabad in Islamaba on May 1, 2011. During 2011 the face of the Middle East and most Arab countries began to change with the democracy protests. The result is a region where ordinary Arabs are taking the first steps to determine their own future and look to good governance and democratic processes as critical elements in social and economic change. This leaves little room for the kind of movement Osama Bin Laden led. For the U.S., Arabs and the Muslim world the shift is to other priorities.
