A police officer familiar with Mr. bin Laden's compound in the scenic town of Abbottabad said the location was used by Hizbul Mujahideen, one of the biggest militant outfits in the disputed territory of Kashmir. Like other groups fighting Indian troops in the borderlands, HM's radical membership has never been rounded up by Pakistani forces and some analysts say Islamabad covertly supports the group. [...]
"The place belonged to Hizbul Mujahideen," the police officer said. "But the authorities have asked us not to share any information about the exact ownership." Land-registry officials in Abbottabad, known in the local language as patwaris, were summoned to a meeting on Tuesday and urged to keep quiet. "The patwaris are meeting right now," a local official said. "They are being instructed not to say anything about the land-ownership issue."
