More details continue to emerge of Osama bin Laden’s time in Pakistan and the raid that took his life. BBC News is reporting one of bin Laden’s wives said he had lived in Pakistan for at least five years. The Washington Post reports CIA agents monitored bin Laden’s compound from a nearby safe house after the compound was discovered last August. Speaking to the New York Times, U.S. officials say documents and computer files seized from the compound show al-Qaeda had drawn up plans to attack the U.S. rail system, possibly on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this year. The plans were said to be in the preliminary stages, and there is no evidence they were put into effect. The United States also says the seized material points to evidence bin Laden continued to play a role in directing al-Qaeda’s worldwide operations from his hideout.
