WikiLeaks Files: US troops were yards from Osama bin Laden house in 2008
US embassy cables show soldiers were due to perform a routine posting 'training the trainers' of Pakistan's federal military unit
(UK Guardian) - US forces were stationed just a few hundred yards from Osama Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound in October 2008, according to reports within the WikiLeaks embassy cables.
The revelation that US forces were so close to the world's most wanted man in 2008 comes after material from the Guantánamo files suggested the US may have received the intelligence that led them to Bin Laden as early as 2008.
The US soldiers were due to perform a routine posting "training the trainers" of Pakistan's 70,000-strong federal military unit, the Frontier Corps.
