Where was Osama bin Laden hiding?

Answer 1

Obviously, that information isn't publicly held at this time.

Bin Laden, originally from Saudi Arabia and an offshoot from the Saudi Royal Family had enough cash to move quite freely before 9/11. Even since 9/11 his movements, while undoubtedly restricted, are still possible.

The two general theories on his whereabouts are that he's moving nightly between the Afghan and Pakistan, assisted by the Taliban, or that this victim of long term kidney disease is now dead and we just haven't confirmed it.

Considering the rather huge bounties on his head, the question of, "Why has no-one turned him in yet?" loom large -- if he's alive.

Answer 2

On May 1, 2011, it was announced that the terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, was killed in his home. He was located in a huge compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, 30 km North East of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The US Military took custody of the body of the 911 attack's mastermind and later buried it at sea, in order to respect the Muslim religion customs of burial of the dead within 24 hours of death.

It is unclear at what point bin Laden left the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan where the Taliban took refuge after their defeat. Attacks were made there on Al Qaeda suspects both during and after the US war.

Answer 3

Osama Bin Laden was killed. Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in the North Arabian Sea. This was to prevent any group from making his grave into a shrine.
