Not all that far from Islamabad on a highway

Jetsam says:

Two US helicopters plus a Pakistani helicopter. Two al qaeda couriers and one Bin Laden son killed in addition to OBL.

35 miles north of Islamabad in an affluent neighborhood. The mansion was twice as big as any house in the area. It was surrounded by 15 foot walls topped with barbed wire. (Doesn't sound like a cave to me.)

Whatever the Pakistani role may have been in the raid one thing seems clear (so far):

US special ops did the wet work.

News Alert from The Wall Street Journal

Osama bin Laden was killed in a joint raid in Pakistan's northwestern district of Abbottabad, some 40 miles from Islamabad, in a joint raid overnight Sunday, according to a senior Pakistani official.

The town also is home to a Pakistani military academy. Two American helicopters took part in the operation, the official said. One Pakistani helicopter involved in the raid crashed after it was hit by firing from militants.
