Bin Laden's unhappy compound

As Pakistani officials find out more about day-to-day life inside the compound, they are beginning to paint a picture that looks more like a bad American sit-com than the life of a terror mastermind.
Bin Laden's final five years on Earth appear to be a dreary Groundhog Day of three bickering wives, a brood of children - including infant twins - 18ft claustrophobic walls and a life of such austerity that there was hardly enough power to run lighting.
The three wives with the Al Qaeda leader at the time of the raid are now turning on each other in custody, with the two older wives viciously accusing the youngest of betraying their husband.
And they say reports of the younger wife valiantly trying to protect Bin Laden, earning a bullet in the leg for her trouble, are ies.
Despite the relatively large compound, the adults and children were cooped up on top of each other - and there was little hope of the situation changing.
Rehman Malik, Pakinstan's interior minister, said: 'The joke in Pakistan is that Bin Laden called in his location to the CIA because he was being driven mad cooped up for five years with so many wives and children.'

It does not sound like a place I would want to be. But, I am not going to waste any time feeling sorry for a mass murderer who crated his own hell hole of a prison.
