The call led them to the unusual, high-walled compound in Abbottabad, where al-Qaeda's founder was shot and killed by U.S. forces Monday. "This is where you start the movie about the hunt for bin Laden," said one U.S. official briefed on the intelligence-gathering leading up to the raid. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/6041ZA/FXQ6BM/W00L0S/6NEKAE/2SLIC/N9/h For more information, visit washingtonpost.com ---------------------------------------- Have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?
