SOHAIB ATHAR SOT ALL I DID WAS HEAR HELICOPTER SURPRISE BY ATTENTION
Sohaib Athar SOT saying he is surprised by all the attention as all he did was hear the helicopter. Sohaib Athar unknowingly livetweeted the US Operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The Abbottabad residentÕs followers on twitter went up by thousands after the news broke out. SOT: "I didn't expect all the attention that my tweets were getting because I did not report him, or I did not ah, I wasn't involved in the operation directly. All I did was hear a helicopter from my perspective, it was just that I heard a helicopter and I tweeted about the explosion - but I think the fact is since nobody else tweeted about it, since nobody else knew about it and since people were looking for information about Abbottabad specifically, immediately after the speech, so which is the reason I got so much attention."
