This was the site of the residence and compound of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Built in 2005, the three-story mansion was roughly eight times the size of nearby houses and was surrounded by a 12 to 18 foot high wall topped with barbed wire. It had no internet and phone service connections. It was located by intelligence agencies in August 2010.
On May 2nd, 2011, a helicopter-based raid was carried out at the compound by U.S. Navy SEALS which resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden and several other occupants of the compound. After confirming his identity, bin Laden's body was removed from the area and subsequently buried at sea.
The compound was demolished on 26th February, 2012 by Pakistani security forces.
