An explanation may be necessary

Abottabad, Pakistan is more than just the original home of that nation's "who's on first joke" (disputed by nearby Costellobad) -- in cricket format -- and the recent home of Osama bin Laden.

It is also the home of the Pakistan Military Academy, the "West Point" of that country, apparently just two miles away from Bin Laden's compound. That may require some kind of explanation from our frequent and justifiably criticized allies.

It is also the home of Sohaib Athar, a twitter user who reported on the attack as it happened...without knowing who or what was really occurring.
