10 years since Osama Bin Laden’s death, a new beginning (ORF)

On May 2, 2011, a Twitter user by the name Sohaib Athar, an IT professional, awake late at night in Abbottabad, Pakistan, unknowingly tweeted at 01:28 AM local time: “Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1 AM (is a rare event)”. What Sohaib at that time had not realised that he was unknowingly going to be live tweeting a raid by US SEAL Team 6 on a compound in his town, which eventually would lead to the killing of the then world’s most wanted man, Al Qaeda (AQ) chief Osama Bin Laden. Later, on the same day, then US President Barack Obama would officially announce to the world that the chief of AQ was no more.
