Osama's family gave me two rabbits as a present, says 12-year-old neighbour

A boy who lives near Osama Bin Laden's Pakistani hideout told today how he would regularly visit the al Qaeda leader's family.

Zarar Ahmed, 12, is a resident of the small town of Abbottabad, not far from the compound where Bin Laden had been hiding with relatives and associates for the past five years until his death at the weekend.

Zarar told how the family had even given him a gift of two rabbits during one of his visits to the $1 million home. He said: "I used to go to their house. He had two wives, one spoke Arabic, and the other one spoke Urdu. They had three children, a girl and two boys. They gave me two rabbits.

"They had installed a camera at the outer gate so they could see people before they entered the house."
