The latest meme doing the rounds is that the raid on Usama Bin Ladin's compound in Pakistan leading to his death was brought forward because of the leak of a document by Wikileaks that 'might' have been enough to spook UBL to change location. Seems a bit far-fetched - but I suppose someone who had till a few days ago remained at large with a 27mill bounty on his head does not take chances.

 

Here is a link to the released document https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/87933-interrogation-file-of-abu-faraj-al-libi.html#document/p5/a17091

 

I wouldnt have wanted to be Assange's shoes if UBL had done a runner last week!

Everything I have been reading has ascertained that he had been there for 5 or 6 years, which back then, had been a rural area, until people moved in around him.
