After 10 years, what gave Osama bin Laden away?

LONDON (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden's decade on the run after 9/11 may have come to its end in part because his large hideout reportedly lacked a phone and Internet connection -- an unusual absence likely to have drawn investigators' curiosity.

For a decade, his presumed choice of Pakistan as a hideout from history's biggest manhunt worked well enough. Experts speculated that he had sought protection from local militants in their remote mountain bastions, repaying the hospitality by helping their bloody effort to make Pakistan ungovernable.
