ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani military has taken charge of
investigations into the circumstances that allowed Osama bin Laden to
reside quietly in a three-story house on the edge of this town,
officials here said. Military intelligence investigators returned to the
house on Wednesday and spent most of the day working inside the
compound, while the army and the police barred journalists and others
from approaching the area.
The intelligence agencies have detained at least 11 people for
questioning, including an immediate neighbor who once worked with the
family and the construction manager who built the house, Pakistani news
organizations reported.
They have also taken into custody the bodies of four people killed when
an American Navy Seals team made an air assault on the house early
Monday.
Three women and nine children found in the house after the raid are also
in the custody of the intelligence services, Pakistani security
officials said. At least two are related to Bin Laden, one security
official said: a 12- or 13-year-old daughter and his wife, who was shot
in the leg but has received hospital care and is out of danger. He spoke
on the condition of anonymity in accordance with the rules of his
agency.
