Supporters of hard line pro-Taliban party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) pray for the slain Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden during a rally in Quetta on May 2, 2013, on the second anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden. Hundreds of Islamists rallied in Pakistan's southwestern city of Quetta to pay tribute to al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on the second anniversary of his death. Bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, was killed on May 2, 2011 in a secret US Navy SEAL operation in a walled-off compound in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad.
Abbottabad: A defense lawyer says a Pakistani court has reinstated 17 health workers who were fired last year for allegedly participating in a CIA scheme to confirm the presence of Osama bin Laden in a town in northwest Pakistan.
Lawyer Javed Awan says Thursday's court order came 11 months after the health workers were suspended for failing to inform the government about Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi's fake polio vaccination program.
In this photo taken on Feb. 15, 2013, Pakistani children play at the demolished compound of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Pakistan stars in "Zero Dark Thirty," from early scenes at a detention site to the dramatic closing minutes as Navy SEALs assault the hideout of bin Laden. But the Academy Award-nominated film about the hunt for the al-Qaida leader has sparked a controversy here about its portrayal of the country, and it will likely not be shown on the local big screen anytime soon. Partly, the film taps into national discomfort that bin Laden was found to be living for years near Pakistan's equivalent.

New York: The Abbottabad compound in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was hiding may never have been found if it weren't for the efforts of one young, female CIA agent, reveals a new film which explores the decade-long hunt for theal Qaedaleader based on true events.
Sadly, the real-life female CIA agent in her thirties, who is credited with tracking down Osama bin Laden, was passed over for promotion amid widespread jealousy among her mostly male colleagues over her part in taking down the world's most wanted man. But The Washington Post said the woman did receive a cash bonus for her excellent intelligence work.
Now her role in hunting down bin Laden has been immortalized in Zero Dark Thirty by director Kathryn Bigelow, who is the first woman to win an Oscar for best director, for the 2008 film Hurt Locker.
