As the world was told of Bin Laden's death, they were not told of two others. The two men who had owned the house that Bin Laden was hiding out in were also killed on the night of the raid. They were Pashtun muslims who never gave any information to their neighbors about where they were from, and why they were there. They built a beautiful three story home 7 years ago, but the only difference abou this home was that they had built a high wall with barbed wire over the top so that they may keep their privacy. As by usual muslim tradtion they did not hire a gate watchman, the gate watchmans are the people who know all of the families secrets. The two men who were the courriers for him also have left 9 children between the two of them as well as two wives who are now widows.
I think that these two men didn't deserve to be killed along with Bin Laden. I think that they should have been tried against their crimes for harrboring a fugitive but i guess that doesnt really matter anymore. These two men, in my opinion, are probably some of the bravest men that i have ever heard of. They built a home, and harrbored one of the most wanted criminals of all time in their home. They had to put on a straight face and act like everything was normal, and that they just lived a typical everyday life of the pashtun muslums. These men must have been good people if Bin Laden trusted them with his own life, as well as his families lives. But i guess all good things have to come to an end.
