Suburbs

It turns out the city where Osama was killed is basically a big, wealthy suburb where a lot of Pakistani Generals retire. How was he, or people close to he, familiar enough with the area to hide there secretly?

UPDATE: Watching a news feed this AM on troop reactions. Reporter basically said everyone in the intelligence community knows that at least elements of Pakistan's ISI have known where Osama is for the past 9 years. And on the flipside, the Pakistani army was just yesterday battling tough with Taliban and Al Queda forces in the Northwest, holding down border positions while the US attacked them. Someday someone is going to write a great book deciphering what exactly the logic of the Pakistani's has been over these past 10 years. Clearly, they are playing both sides. To what end, it isn't totally clear. I imagine they are confused themselves.
