WILY terrorist Osama bin Laden was finally done in and snared by Navy SEALS by the dirty clothes hanging on a line inside his top-secret Pakistan hideaway!
According to the new book, The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, the CIA and U.S. military spent a decade hunting the blood-thirsty mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed 2,977 in 2001 before finally uncovering his lair.
When the intensive manhunt in the Afghan mountains slowed after 2004, Osama ordered his loyal bodyguard Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed al-Hamid to buy land and build a fortress-like compound for his family in Abbottabad, Pakistan, writes author Peter Bergen, a former CNN producer.
The mass murderer then moved into the secret palace protected by 18-foot walls, topped by barbed wire, with his three wives, eight of his youngest kids, and four grandchildren, including tots as young as two.
