Osama bin Laden’s Bike

Now it can be yours: Osama bin Laden’s bicycle. The Pakistan hideout where Mr. bin Laden died is being razed, and souvenir hunters have been scavaging the house site.

“Ali and others quickly scoured the grounds around the building and elsewhere in Abbottabad for anything that might have once belonged to bin Laden, or anyone associated with him, that hadn’t already been confiscated by intelligence agencies.

Ali was lucky enough to find a bicycle. Although the bike was in bad condition, he believes its possible association with bin Laden could mean a handsome profit down the line.

Captured: Osama’s Computer

Osama bin Laden had a pretty tough weekend. Say what you will about the man; at least he got that bloody Royal Wedding off Page One.

He may have left this mortal coil, but Mr. bin Laden has attained a certain immortality, if only digital. It’s not because we’re all blogging about him: Navy SEALs caputured his computer and thumb drives. If you’re in his Outlook contact list, start worrying.
