CIA Return To Pakistan For Final Search Of Bin Laden Compound
With the caveat that the odds of finding “the good stuff” are now extremely low, a CIA forensic team once again entered Osama bin Laden‘s Abbottabad compound yesterday for a final combing through of the terrorist’s dwelling. This time, however, they were accompanied by a Pakistani ISI troop– a sign that the governments of both nations are attempting to patch up the grievances erupting from America’s unannounced visit to the compound last month.
NBC is reporting that the team spent several hours looking for any hidden evidence that may have been left behind, and that they “did not leave empty-handed”:
The CIA team arrived by helicopter about noon in Pakistan and was accompanied by Pakistani ISI officers as they looked for any remaining evidence at the compound, the officials said. In particular, CIA officials were looking for vaults or other items that might be hidden behind walls or inside floors, as well as any possible tunnels that could allow visitors to leave and enter undetected. The search ended about 6 p.m. and the helicopter flew the CIA team from the compound.
That said, the team isn’t expecting to pull out the Lysol for the bedrooms on this one, as the compound has since been controlled by the Pakistani military and searched by local authorities, enough that this effort would only amount to one final look for hidden compartments or non-obvious items.
