The Abbottabad compound in Pakistan, used by Osama bin Laden as a safe hiding place till US commandos shot him dead, will be demolished soon by Pakistani security agencies so that it does not become a sacred building for jihadis. The compound, located about 800 yards from the Pakistan Military Academy, has been sealed by the army following the raid by the US special forces team which killed the world's most wanted terrorist. PTI quoting a report in the News Daily based on sources from a security agency said the authorities have not yet decided whether the media will be allowed to enter the compound. It said the building will be razed to the ground as has been done in such cases in the past. The security agencies had demolished Jamia Hafsa, a seminary affiliated to the radical Lal Masjid in Islamabad, after a military operation in 2007 to avoid any bitter situation.
