Je hebt veel mensen waarvan we niet weten waar de graf is, ze konden OBL ook ergens in een berg gooien. Volgens mij zou GB het beste plek zijn voor OBL, om te laten verblijven. En, zijn begraafplaats zou zeker geen bedevaartsplek worden. Oh en, waarom is Osama levend niet veel waard?

Groeten, Surrendered

U.C.L.A. Undergrads Predicted Bin Laden’s Exact Location in 2009

6th May 2011 ·

A class of undergraduate geography students at the University of California 
at Los Angeles (UCLA) accurately predicted the exact location of the late 
Osama bin Laden back in 2009, Digital Trends reports. The students, led by 
professors Thomas Gillespie and John Agnew, utilized satellite imagery and 
scientific geographic theories to create a model which gave an 89.9% 
probability that the former al-Qaeda chief was hiding out in the city of 
Abbottabad, Pakistan. That was lower than the 98% probability assigned to 
the city of Parchinar, Pakistan– 300 miles west of Abbottabad, but the 
students’ prediction is remarkable nonetheless.

The class used the geographic theories of “distance-decay” and “island 
biogeography,” usually used to track endangered species, to pinpoint where 
they believed bin Laden was hiding. They explain:

“Distance-decay theory and island biogeography theory are two biogeographic 
theories associated with the distribution of life and extinction that can be 
used to identify the location of bin Laden at global and regional spatial 
scales. Distance-decay theory states that as one goes further away from a 
precise location, there is an exponential decline in the turnover of species 
and a lower probability of finding the same composition of species (5-7). 
The theory of island biogeography states that large and close islands will 
have higher immigration rates and support more species with lower extinction 
rates than small isolated islands (8-9).

“These theories can be applied over varying spatial scales to posit bin 
Laden’s current location based on his last reputed geographic location. 
Distance-decay theory would predict that he is closest to the point where he 
was last reported and, by extension, within a region that has a similar 
physical environment and cultural composition (that is, similar religious 
and political beliefs).”

The students also used information about bin Laden, such as his towering 
height, his last known location and data about his past hideouts to draw 
conclusions. They predicted he would be hiding in a high- walled compound in 
a large town, for example.

“The theory was basically that if you’re going to try and survive, you’re 
going to a region with a low extinction rate: a large town,” Gillespie told 
Science Insider. “We hypothesized he wouldn’t be in a small town where 
people could report him.”

The Death of Bin Laden

The full story of how America tracked down and killed the world's most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden. From the small Pakistani town of Abbottabad to the streets of New York, the programme speaks to eyewitnesses, victims of Al Qaeda's terror and military and intelligence insiders. There is also a look at why so many people were kept in the dark about the operation and whether the Pakistanis were really unaware of Bin Laden's whereabouts.

As British soldiers take on the Taliban in Afghanistan and the public remain alert to potential terrorist attacks here at home, Panorama asks whether Britain can trust Pakistan to be an ally in the battle against terrorism.
