Top secret raid - live on Twitter

The top secret raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound was inadvertently revealed to the world in a Twitter blog.

Sohaib Athar, an IT consultant living in Abbottabad, posted regular updates of helicopters swarming overhead and a “window-shaking bang”, before writing: “Uh oh, now I’m the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.”
