ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistani authorities have reduced the house where Osama bin Laden lived for years before he was killed by U.S. commandos to rubble, destroying a concrete symbol of the country's association with one of the world's most reviled men.

Workers completed the demolition job in the garrison town of Abbottabad in northwest Pakistan on Monday.

The al-Qaida leader moved into the three-story house in 2005. Acting on intelligence gathered by the CIA, a team of U.S. commandos flew in by helicopter from Afghanistan and killed bin Laden on May 2 before dumping his body at sea hours later.

The operation left Pakistan's army in the awkward position of explaining why it had not detected the U.S. raid, and how bin Laden was able to live in the town without its knowledge. U.S. officials have said they have found no evidence that senior Pakistani officials were in the know about bin Laden's whereabouts.

Mechanized backhoe vehicles and construction workers began pulling down the house on Saturday night, working under floodlights.

An Associated Press photographer said Monday the job was completed, save for a section of its boundary walls.

The house stood less than half a mile (one kilometer) from one of the Pakistan army's top training academies.

I do wonder about the "fact" that Pakistan didn't know he was there.

I have read from trusted sources that Osama was urging his sons to not follow him by being terrorists but rather they get educated in Western culture universities and forget entirely about terrorism.

I think that was exactly why he got taken out at the time he did. Can't have all these wars without terrorists.

That could very well be, Larry.

Are we doomed to a future of endless, "Low intensity" war?

It may well be that modern civilization will fall with lots of whimpers rather than any huge bangs this time around.
