Where is Osama Bin Laden Hiding?

A Californian geography professor has used techniques for hunting endangered species to pinpoint three houses in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden could be hiding.

Mathematical models used to explain how animal species spread out say he should be close to where he was last spotted.

Their research published in MIT International Review also concluded he should also be in a large town with a similar culture to Afghanistan where he can remain largely anonymous.

The most likely candidate is in Parachinar, 12 miles inside Pakistan, which housed many mujahideen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Finally after looking at his need for electricity for dialysis, high walls, spare rooms for his entourage, and trees to hide from prying eyes, satellite pictures show just three suitable houses.

“We believe that our work involves the first scientific approach to establishing his current location” the research concludes (Telegraph).

From the sounds of it, this guy has identified the ideal hiding place for Osama Bin Laden, a hideout so perfect that it took a geography professor using computer models to identify it. And there are only three such buildings in the Afghanistan – Pakistan border regions!

How likely is it that al-Qaeda found them, too?
