SOHAIB ATHAR SOT PROBABLY SAFER HERE BECAUSE OF OSAMA LIVING HERE
Sohaib Athar SOT saying that people in Abbottabad were, ironically, probably safer because Osama bin Laden was living there. 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: "It's ironic actually because I came here to escape all the bombings and now I find myself in the same town as him. But maybe one of the reasons that Abbottabad has been very safe place so far is because he was living here, if there had been a terrorist attack for example in Abbottabad there would have been searches going on house to house, maybe because he was hiding here. That is just a theory of mine."
