Last one to Abbottabad is a pussy

Wonder how long it will take for Abbottabad to make the DP tour? BTW: UBL's compound is plainly evident on Google Maps/earth. A huge compund. Size of a soccer field. House is in north end of the compound. Entrance is in SW corner. Couldn't the local Barney Fife figure out that someone "special" was in the 'hood? Check it out - Google Maps lat/long coords are: 34.187692,73.242545. Is in north central Abbottabad, about 800 meters down Awami Rd, SE off N35. Then about 75m north of Awami Rd. About 200m east of Margis Arif hospital.

Jeopardy points: Abbottabad named after after Major James Abbott who founded the town and district in January 1853 after the annexation of the Punjab. At first is sounded as if all the press weenies were saying Abadabad. Surprised the named hasn't been changed or Pashtunized.
