Life is largely back to normal in Abbottabad, four months after Osama bin Laden, the man who ordered the September 11th attacks, was killed there by US forces.

But in coffee shops and tea stands around the city, most of the chatter about what happened in the early hours of May 2 is laced with strong scepticism.

Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab reports from Abbottabad.

2. Seriously? How convenient. Or am I being gullible?

Oh, just checked it. True. Same unit, although apparently they weren't actually involved in the OBL raid.

3. adding to the weird plot line
The attackers of the Chinook helicopter were tracked down 2 days later and an F 16 was able to strike their camp killing the particular man in the group who pulled the trigger. You cannot make these stories up
