Here’s the purported CIA training ground of Osama bin Laden’s hideaway, used by Navy SEALs before they took out the terrorist mastermind.
In the book “No Easy Day,” chronicling the May 2, 2011, raid in Pakistan, author and former SEAL Matt Bissonnette (who originally went by the pseudonym Mark Owen) said his fellow commandos practiced invading bin Laden’s pad at a North Carolina training center.
The secret-spilling Web site Cryptome collected these easy-to-find satellite pictures of the Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity facility near Hertford, NC.
It appears to show the construction of a residential compound in between February and April , 2011, and its dismantlement by year’s end.
The Harvey Point structure in Cryptome’s photos bear a striking resemblance to the bin Laden’s hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Both had a tell-tale, angular wall cutting through the compound.
All the photos were taken from Google Maps and Bing Maps.
