They indicated he might be living with or protected by bin Laden," a senior administration official said in a briefing for reporters. Bin Laden was finally found -- more than 9-1/2 years after the 2001 attacks on the  United States  -- after authorities discovered in August 2010 that the courier lived with his brother and their families in an unusual and extremely high-security building, ...
