anderson. >> how much of a presence is there in this -- a military presence is there in this town, not just now because obviously there would be a big presence on that property. but we're told there are military facilities very close by, yes? >> reporter: absolutely. it is quite remarkable. i've just been to the main road from which it's possible to access this compound. and on the other side is a very large pakistani military academy. one of several military base institutions in this town. very much a garrison town. very much a throbbing kind of military heart here. and i think that's possibly something that may have played to bin laden's advantage, frankly. who would have expected him to choose a place like this to hang out in? but it also would raise the question how was he undetected for so long? >> yeah. and whether somebody in the intelligence service in pakistan or in the military in pakistan knew of his location, knew he was there and said nothing. we simply don't know. we'll find out more as we continue to follow this story.
