Osama bin Laden dead: Bali bomber captured down the road of compound
"One of the 2002 Bali bombers [Umar Patek]was captured by Pakistani commandos just a few miles from where Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad by US forces earlier this week."
"The coincidence of two of the world's most wanted terrorists being cornered in Abbottabad, an Army garrison town around 60 miles from the capital Islamabad reflects plans by al Qaeda commanders to establish a number of safe houses in the area.
"Disclosures by WikiLeaks revealed that senior al Qaeda commander Abu al Libi had been asked to provide safe houses and had himself moved to Abbottabad in 2003.
"Pakistan's foreign office said earlier this week that Abbottabad had been under the "sharp focus" of its intelligence agencies since 2003 and that it had followed the movements of foreign militants around the town until last month."
