Il y encore 3 jours, personne en dehors de son cercle familial et d'amis pouvait mettre un visage derrière celui qui allait malgré lui devenir le personnage dont le compte twitter allait subir l'une des plus vertigineuse augmentation de suiveurs. Un comble pour un homme âgé de 33 ans, informaticien de profession qui fatigué par le stress dans sa ville de Lahore avait voulu s'offrir quelques jours de repos dans la paisible ville d'Abbottabad. Abbottabad est un ville qu'on peut qualifier de militaire et qui possède l'une des plus grands académies du pays. Athar surfait habituellement de temps en temps pour parler de la pluie et du beau temps quand il y avait de l'électricité; Les coupures étaient fréquentes et il ne pouvait compter au plus que sur 6 heures de courant. Ce soir du 1 mai 2011, il était justement en train de surfer tranquillement devant son ordinateur quand il entendit des bruits d'hélicoptère. Il était à peu près 1h du matin heure local, c'est à dire 22h heure française. Des bruits d'hélicoptère, ce n'est pas fréquent. Il commençait à comprendre qu'il se passait des choses graves sans douter un instant que des américains étaient en train de prendre d'assaut une maison où était supposé se trouver l'ennemi public ° 1 Oussama Ben Laden. au moment clé où l'assaut se déroulait, il eut des échanges avec d'autres twitteurs avant dé découvrir grâce à un de ses contacts que les hélicoptères étaient américains et que leur objectif était Ben Laden qu'ils avaient surnommé du nom de code : Geronimo, le célèbre chef Indien. Et comme le raconte si bien cet article là, vint pour lui la gloire mondiale malgré lui. Une gloire qu'il semble gérer avec sagesse et intelligement en s'y prennant au jeu sans avoir pour autant la grosse tête. Il s'est même amuser à prendre des photos et à les offrir à ses "suiveurs sur twitter grâcieusement.
Aujourd'hui, après maintes interviews, il a réactivé son blog qu'il avait laissé à l'abandon depuis plus d'1 an et il doit réfléchir peut être et pourquoi pas à transformer cette gloire en monnaie sonnante et trébuchante. Pas du tout et il n'a pas cessé de le répéter, l'argent ne l'intéresse pas et là je lui tire chapeau comme on dit, "a good guy".J'espère que beaucoup plus tard que la tension se sera apaisée, j'aurai l'occasion d'échanger avec lui. On a presque le même prénom. Pour le moment, il se demande peut être comment discipliné les 102268 suiveurs actuels de son compte twitter . C'est tout simplement énorme.
voici un extrait de l'échange à l'instant clé quand l'assaut, s'est déroulé.
Uh oh, now I'm the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.


Damn its getting hard to RT some funny Abbottabad tweets, they're scrolling so fast :-(

how long before the "Call of Duty : Abbottabad, Pakistan" expansion hits the stores?



I guess I should unsubscribe from the #abbottabad search on twitter before it kills my machine. Leave Abbottabad alone, Osama and Obama...


Wondering what would be the right music to play in the coffee shop today...

RT @ISuckBigTime: Osama Bin Laden killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan.: ISI has confirmed it << Uh oh, there goes the neighborhood :-/

I guess Abbottabad is going to get as crowded as the Lahore that I left behind for some peace and quiet. *sigh*

@kursed I think I should take out my big blower to blow the fog of war away and see the clearer picture.

@kursed Well, there were at least two copters last night, I heard one but a friend heard two, for 15-20 minutes.

Report from a sweeper: A family also died in the crash, and one of the helicopter riders got away and is now being searched for.

@kursed True, but stranger things have happened. I just hope they don't find my giant helicopter swatter. Must hide it :-/

@ahmedbilal @kursed Sadly. We should start learning how to spread believable stories and recreate a reality that suits us.

@kursed Another rumor: two copters that followed the crashed one were foreign Cobras - and got away

@kursed What really happened doesn't matter if there is an official story behind it that 99.999% of the world would believe

Report from a taxi driver: The army has cordoned off the crash area and is conducting door-to-door search in the surrounding

I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected.



@raihak The day there is uninterrupted electricity in Lahore for a whole month, I will start packing my bags, until then, Abbottabad is home


and now I feel I must apologize to the pilot about the swatter tweets :-/
The Major also says no "missiles" were fired and all such exaggerated reports are nothing but rumours #Pakistan
A Major of the #Pakistan #Army's 19 FF, Platoon CO says incident at #Abbottabad where #helicopter crashed is accidental and not an "attack"

Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >> http://bit.ly/ioGE6O

Here's the location of the Abbottabad crash according to some people >>> http://on.fb.me/khjf34

@smedica 'safer' is a relative term that has lost its meaning in Pakistan


@smedica It must have been more, I started noticing the helicpoter when the noise got irritating - which part of Abbottabd are you in?

@tahirakram very likely - but it was too noisy to be a spy craft, or, a very poor spy craft it was.

@smedica people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful.

@wqs figures, if they have the right to shoot planes flying over the president house, the must have the same instructions for PMA

The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.


@kashaziz technically, it is unidentified until identified, and it is a flying object, so year, why the hell not, we have seen weirder stuff


@raihak yep, the mad power cuts have reached abbottabad - 14 hours daily - luckily I have a generator AND a UPS at the coffee shop

Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation #abbottabad

@raihak Funny, moving to Abbottabad was part of the 'being safe' strategy


@m0hcin the few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani...


@m0hcin all silent after the blast, but a friend heard it 6 km away too... the helicopter is gone too.

A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S




Why are the Pakistani subjects so happy about seriously, our rulers take us through what comes after a 'royal wedding' every other day ...

Abbottabad had power for 6/24 hours or so today, still waiting for the power brokers to have pity on us :-\
