ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan -- Two loud explosions were reportedly heard near the compound where Usama bin Laden was killed during a U.S. raid, the Associated Press reports.
Fox News' Dominic Di-Natale said he could not confirm news of an explosion, but rumors are circulating that Pakistanis intend to blow up the compound to prevent the site from becoming a shrine.

Or to destroy physical evidence. Remember when the Feds bulldozed Waco?

Theory: Pakistan’s ISI trying to destroy any remaining evidence of who built the place and who was there.
To: topher
Quite possible thee were hidden explosives in the complex.
Could just as well be a Pakistani Army Ordinance Disposal Team detonating in place.

I keep posting pictures of the National Guard moving in on the compound when I’m in firearm threads.

I would guess that there was a lot more there than was ever found by us.
Also, the thing is now a blackeye to the Pakis. It is now a statue to how America did a military incursion in the middle of their country and got away with it.
Like Waco, wiping away the building is like wiping away the incident. (sort of)

There is no excuse for not having drones follow up and destroy the tail section of the damaged helicopter.
These incompetents running our government do not make one feel secure.

No story here, no explosions yet. The Paks will demolish the compound as soon as all the intel is gleaned.
