Osama was living in urban Pak since mid 2003: report

Islamabad: Trying to piece together Osama bin Laden’s life prior to the US raid that killed him, Pakistani sleuths today focussed on Haripur district in the country’s northwest after his Yemeni widow said the al-Qaeda chief lived there before moving to Abbottabad near Islamabad.
Security and intelligence operatives fanned out in Chak Shah Mohammad Khan, a village in Haripur district, after learning from bin Laden’s widow that he had lived there for nearly two-and-half years, TV news channels reported.
Pakistani investigators tracing bin Laden’s movements since his escape from Afghanistan’s Tora Bora mountains have discovered that he had been living in Pakistan’s urban centres longer than they had thought, media reports said.
Bin Laden had apparently spent seven-and-half years in the Haripur and Abbottabad regions of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.(PTI)
