paquistanês, informático, que se mudou com a família para uma localidade mais calma, supostamente, longe dos atentados semanais e da confusão de Lahore. para (eu) ter uma ideia, são dez milhões em Lahore. Sahaib tem um sentido de humor fantástico, lucidez e, neste caso, representa-me a mim e a todos os outros "homem comum". twittando em directo enquanto outros fazem o trabalho sujo de 'apanhar' e matar Bin Laden. não estou com os outros, estou com ele.

An IT consultant taking a break from the rat-race by hiding in the mountains with his laptops.
A request to the msm: I am not milking you for money. Please don't milk me for news. I need to write that FAQ. (cont) http://tl.gd/a8e35p
@samadk I just woke up. There's no power at home, so I will post the pics from the shop, when I get there.W
Thank you for your encouragement. I hope a few of you will still be around in the 16th minute, and we can have some actual conversations :-)
I will post more pictures taken by @samadk later, if electricity at home allows. I am working on an FAQ to save us all a lot of time.
I am sorry I can not take any more phone calls or interviews. Really sleepy. The images I uploaded (from my cellphone) can be used freely.

http://yfrog.com/gyql3kvj just a reminder (I hope)

My cellphone is finally out of juice and Abbottabad is out for the last two hours. I may not be able to talk to anyone over Skype :-(
Stuck in traffic and unpaved lanes with a 10% battery remaining :-\
Coming back from laDen, yet again
One more thing, the 'other Sohaib Athar' is not me, and vice versa. He is @sohaibgulbadan
@
@moliesre1981 No, I am not taking any money for the interviews - just losing sleep - a lot of it. "Monetization" is not really on my list.
Just talked to NDTV - last stop, CNN - before sleep. I did have a very interesting visit to the operation site, will upload pics in a few.
Oh so this is how they do it. http://twitpic.com/4sp9lh
Watching the watchers watching the watchmen watching the compound ... or something like that ... http://twitpic.com/4sp184
The last picture, btw, was a Reuters guy probably uploading a feed.
At last, somebody was seen hiding behind a rock!http://twitpic.com/4soux1
@harisn @ahmedbilal Nah, I'm still sitting online, there's still no electricity here, and the wars haven't ended. The world hasn't changed.
Good morning! It is back to life as usual in this part of Abbottabad today. I hope there are no repercussions. http://twitpic.com/4sm287
Half the emails answered. I guess I have a blog post (or three) to write when I wake up. Peace. Out. [SPONSORED MESSAGE: (Nah, just kidding)
Thanks for your 'stay safe' messages - folks. This area of Abbottabad has finally gone back to its quiet/dark/peaceful night.

Spoke to Al Jazeera a few minutes ago - its a good thing they don't use a 3-letter-acronym - and they are not as biased as the rest of 'em
and a video of OBL's hideout in Abbottabad - after the incident (shared by friend) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlWMsApBOws
Here's a picture of OBL's hideout in Abbottabad, as shared by a friend @Rahat http://yfrog.com/h7w4izmj
I apologize for reporting the operation 'unwittingly/unknowingly' - had I known about it, I would have tweeted about it 'wittingly' I swear.
I just woke up and need to take care of some business before I (re)start blogging - please don't call me just yet. Thank you!
Fact: I don't own a TV set and stopped watching TV many years ago. Sorry three-lettered-big-tv-news-channels for not replying to your emails
Bin Laden is dead. I didn't kill him. Please let me sleep now.
Reuters got to me before I could go to sleep.
@
I'm sorry to all the MSM journalists trying to reach me via phone/email etc. for not being able to reply to their queries individually.
@
@
@jovensclaudio The gunfight lasted perhaps 4-5 minutes, I heard. That was around 10 hours ago. There are no other gunfights that I know of.
Thank you Google, thousands of email reduced to a few dozen.
I guess an 'is now following you' GMail filter is the next logical step
For the people who are trying to email me to reach me, I simply can't filter out the notifications from the emails :-(
Interesting, I didn't think my name would trend on twtter before releasing a couple of rock albums and a few award-winning software....
@saidation D saidation People don't use twitter here, hence they don't realize the attention they're getting. Ignorance is bliss.
@
@ahmedbilal I am working. On the PC. The coffeeshop staff can't reach here due to traffic blocks, so tell me how I can manage that? lol
It is a good thing my blog server is infected with malware today, I guess :-/
@
@
@ExecSkelton I was at least 2-3 km away from that area. Planning to stay alive, if they let me live, lol.
I am JUST a tweeter, awake at the time of the crash. Not many twitter users in Abbottabad, these guys are more into facebook. That's all.
@
@
@
And the big question is - now that OBL does not live in Abbottabad, is it open to terrorist attacks too?
The shopping plaza I'm in is almost entirely closed, probably mainly because the traffic is blocked in a few places
Uh oh, time to log out of Skype, this is insane
@
Ok, I give up. I can't read all the @ mentions so I'll stop trying.

ABBOTTABAD IS TRENDING. Who wouldve thought.
@
@bunduboots A *tiny* coffee shop , that I set up because I couldn't find any real coffee here, but you're welcome to visit #Abbotabad#win
At least the power is back... two shots of robusta is what I need now
by ReallyVirtual
Abbottabad instantly becomes to absolute coolest word to pronounce
@
@
Time to turn on the generator
oh I forgot, one needs electricity to make coffee, which, we don't have right now in Abbottabad. :-/
@
@
@MahaRafiAtal lol not just you, and nothing to be sorry about (I think) :-) I guess I'll go drink a couple of espresso shots to keep me up
and here come the mails from the mainstream media... *sigh*
Uh oh, now I'm the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.
I need to sleep, but Osama had to pick this day to die :-/
Damn its getting hard to RT some funny Abbottabad tweets, they're scrolling so fast :-(
by ReallyVirtual
how long before the "Call of Duty : Abbottabad, Pakistan" expansion hits the stores?
by ReallyVirtual
Abbottabad just became a sexy new spring break destination.
@
I guess I should unsubscribe from the #abbottabad search on twitter before it kills my machine. Leave Abbottabad alone, Osama and Obama...
@
Wondering what would be the right music to play in the coffee shop today...
RT @ISuckBigTime: Osama Bin Laden killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan.: ISI has confirmed it << Uh oh, there goes the neighborhood :-/
I guess Abbottabad is going to get as crowded as the Lahore that I left behind for some peace and quiet. *sigh*
@
@kursed I think I should take out my big blower to blow the fog of war away and see the clearer picture.
@
@kursed Well, there were at least two copters last night, I heard one but a friend heard two, for 15-20 minutes.
Report from a sweeper: A family also died in the crash, and one of the helicopter riders got away and is now being searched for.
@
@kursed True, but stranger things have happened. I just hope they don't find my giant helicopter swatter. Must hide it :-/
@
@ahmedbilal @kursed Sadly. We should start learning how to spread believable stories and recreate a reality that suits us.
@
@
@kursed What really happened doesn't matter if there is an official story behind it that 99.999% of the world would believe
Report from a taxi driver: The army has cordoned off the crash area and is conducting door-to-door search in the surrounding
by ReallyVirtual
I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected.
Interesting rumors in the otherwise uneventful Abbottabad air today
by ReallyVirtual
1 dead and 1 injured in Abbottabad for heli crashed
@
@raihak The day there is uninterrupted electricity in Lahore for a whole month, I will start packing my bags, until then, Abbottabad is home
And now, a plane flying over Abbottabad...
and now I feel I must apologize to the pilot about the swatter tweets :-/
by ReallyVirtual
The Major also says no "missiles" were fired and all such exaggerated reports are nothing but rumours #Pakistan
by ReallyVirtual
A Major of the #Pakistan #Army's 19 FF, Platoon CO says incident at #Abbottabad where #helicopter crashed is accidental and not an "attack"
Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >> http://bit.ly/ioGE6O
@
@
@
@smedica It must have been more, I started noticing the helicpoter when the noise got irritating - which part of Abbottabd are you in?
@
@smedica people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful.
@
@wqs figures, if they have the right to shoot planes flying over the president house, the must have the same instructions for PMA
The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.
@
@
@kashaziz technically, it is unidentified until identified, and it is a flying object, so year, why the hell not, we have seen weirder stuff
@
@
@raihak yep, the mad power cuts have reached abbottabad - 14 hours daily - luckily I have a generator AND a UPS at the coffee shop
Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation#abbottabad
@
@
@
@m0hcin the few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani...
@
@
@m0hcin all silent after the blast, but a friend heard it 6 km away too... the helicopter is gone too.
A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S
Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/
Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event).
18 hours per day is not loadshedding, it is a load of bullshit :-(
Why are the Pakistani subjects so happy about seriously, our rulers take us through what comes after a 'royal wedding' every other day ...
Abbottabad had power for 6/24 hours or so today, still waiting for the power brokers to have pity on us :-\
@
@
@
Why are the pakistani twerps talking about a royal wedding? Is it HRH papa zardari, or baby Bhutto who is getting married? * confused *
Nigeria sure is filled with ultra-rich people with tragic life stories :-/
Question to the Lahoris: Where in Lahore does one find imported shisha tobacco from brands OTHER THAN Al Fakher? Please share.
LOL @ "Its a hard time on Pak comedians. Firstly Liaqat Soljer, Mastana, Babbu Baral & now Moen Akhter. Worried about Altaf Bhai"
One man's breakfast is another man's dinner :-/
Another victim of time. http://twitpic.com/4li07n
