We should not try and hide the fact that Bin Laden lived for several years in the house in the city’s Bilal Town.
SHORKOT: Clearly, Osama bin Laden’s last hideout in Abbottabad seems to be drawing its fair share of curious visitors. Just last week or so, Denmark’s ambassador was reportedly detained from near the house in which the world’s most wanted man lived his last days. The fact is that we should not try and hide the fact that he lived for several years in the house in the city’s Bilal Town neighbourhood and instead it should take measures that enable the place to become a tourist attraction, which is what it has become over time.
