Whatever happened to guy who tweeted about raid that killed Osama bin Laden?

quote:

Abbottabad, Pakistan
CNN

With a couple of software projects on the go, Sohaib Athar was making the most of the late-night calm to get some work done.

As his wife and son slept, he heard the whir and chop of rotor blades above the two-story house where they lived. Strange, he thought, for an aircraft to be flying so low over a residential area at this hour. He checked the time: it was well past midnight.

“Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event),” he tweeted.

Athar didn’t know it then, but with that one sentence, he had become the first person to report on a blockbuster news story that would grip the world.

He was the guy who unwittingly live-blogged the Osama bin Laden raid.

I remember that. Interesting.. No way they'd let something like that happen again. Twitter was relatively new stuff back then and they didn't have their grasp fully on it yet.

I don’t remember which account this is supposed to represent, but the Conservative revolution is dead.

You've been pretty quiet around here for a while.

We need reasonable voices like yours to be more prominent on this board.
