According to media reports, Osama bin Laden made his last video appearance in November 2004, in the city of Jalabad in eastern Afghanistan. Three days ago, news of his killing by American forces shook the world.

Where at one hand the American side claims he was killed during firefight, on the other hand the same officials maintain that Osama Bin Laden was unarmed when he was shot.

Similarly facts about Osama's Yemeni wife remains unclear, whether she was shot after being used as a human shield or captured alive?

There are a number of versions coming out of the white house itself. As president Obama's video, monitoring the whole operation was released, but later he clearly stated that he did not see the man being killed.

Then who was living in the compound where an American led operation took place?

Local Resident in Abbotabad said, "There were two pashtun brothers living in this house with their families. Their children used to go to school, we never saw any suspicious activities or suspicious people going in the house. They had two vehicles, it is a move of the Americans to destabilize Pakistan."

The US says it was Osama's two couriers who were killed in the raid...

"This is the back wall of the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, but the neighbors say that there were two pashtun brothers, and they say that it was a standard building procedure of the people of Khyber and balouchistan to build such walls around their living quarters." CCTV Reporter Danial Khan, Abbotabad, said.

Amidst this murky and speculative situation, a small crowd of youngsters appeared outside the compound, with one of the boys dressed up and impersonating Osama Bin Laden, they were chanting slogans "Long Live Osama Bin Laden"… it surely captured the attention of the international media, who have been covering this event for the last two days…

Eyewitness in Abbotabad said, "In this part of the world, there is an old saying, out of sight, out of mind. I ask America, why aren't they showing any proof or evidence of Osama? Are they afraid that it is a lie? It is a joke, which has embarrassed Pakistan. "
