ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan -- Two loud explosions were reportedly heard near the compound where Usama bin Laden was killed during a U.S. raid, the Associated Press reports.

Fox News' Dominic Di-Natale said he could not confirm news of an explosion, but rumors are circulating that Pakistanis intend to blow up the compound to prevent the site from becoming a shrine.

AP has reporters near this site... Blowing up American Helicopter tail or blowing up the compound so it does not become a shrine?

[D-fendr]

Some say the helicopter tail is in China now.

Those are the sounds of obama’s approval ratings imploding..

[topher]

Not surprised with the incompetence of this administration.

The only difference between Bill Clinton and Obama is that Bill Clinton would have sold the Chinese the tail section.

Obama just gave it away...

rumors are circulating that Pakistanis intend to blow up the compound to prevent the site from becoming a shrine.

Or to destroy physical evidence.

It’s probably just Geraldo looking for Osama’s vault.

I’d say the Pakis really want to fill in the tunnels.

Million dollar home. Umpteen high feet walls. Sitting in a neighborhood with retired military. Military academy across the way. The one thing not found there,the one thing i can’t believe wasn’t there,a tunnel out. He had cash,he had phone numbers. He had to have a way out besides the front door. That would be fine evidence especially where ever it came out.

Had to be. no question.

[wku man]

I'm sure they have the technology already, being as they can apparently hack into any network we have with impunity.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I heard a plausable theory that the whole operation was a show staged to cover up Pakistan turning over Bin Ladens body after dying of other causes

Wrecked Navy SEAL Helicopter Rotor Carted Off by Pakistan Military

"..Pakistani troops were seen loading the rotor onto trucks, covering it with tarp. The rest of the chopper was effectively destroyed, but for some reason (perhaps time constraints or the fact that it was outside the compound), the rotor was left intact..."

"It’s probably just Geraldo looking for Osama’s vault." LOL.

[American Quilter]

Build a barbeque restaurant on the site. That’ll keep it from becoming a shrine...

[deport]

I think they got the helicopter from the compound several days ago.
