On the top floor, sharing his bedroom, was his youngest wife and favorite

(AP) RAWALPINDI, Pakistan – Osama bin Laden spent his last weeks in a house divided, amid wives riven by suspicions. On the top floor, sharing his bedroom, was his youngest wife and favorite. The trouble came when his eldest wife showed up and moved into the bedroom on the floor below. Others in the family, crammed into the three-story villa compound where bin Laden would eventually be killed in a May 2 U.S. raid, were convinced that the eldest wife intended to betray the al Qaeda leader. The picture of bin Laden’s life in the Abbottabad compound comes from Brig. Shaukat Qadir, a retired Pakistani army officer who spent months researching the events and says he was given rare access to transcripts of Pakistani intelligence’s interrogation of bin Laden’s youngest wife, who was detained in the raid. Qadir was also given rare entry into the villa, which was sealed after the raid and demolished last month. Pictures he took, which he allowed The Associated Press to see, showed the villa’s main staircase, splattered with blood. Other pictures show windows protected by iron grills and the 20-foot high walls around the villa. Qadir’s research gives one of the most extensive descriptions of the arrangements in bin Laden’s hideout when U.S. SEAL commandos stormed in, killing bin Laden and four others. His account is based on accounts by an official of...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Updated at 2:05 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) UNITED NATIONS – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making his case against Iran before the United Nations General Assembly, arguing that time is quickly running out to stop the Islamic Republic from becoming a nuclear power and the threat of force must be seriously considered. “At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs, and that is by placing a clear red line on Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” Netanyahu said. His demand that President Obama declare red lines that would trigger an American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been rejected in Washington and sparked a public rift between the two leaders. But Netanyahu said at U.N. headquarters Thursday that nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran. “To understand what the world would be like with a nuclear-armed Iran, just imagine a world with a nuclear-armed al Qaeda,” Netanyahu said. At the beginning of his address Thursday, he disputed Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statement from earlier in the week that Israel has “no roots” in the Middle East. Netanyahu told the gathered world leaders and diplomats: “The Jewish people have come home. We will never be uprooted again.” During his three-day visit, Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Canadian Prime Minister...

LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt was unable to put the cat out of first place at the weekend box office

LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt was unable to put the cat out of first place at the weekend box office. Walt Disney’s “The Lion King” reissue was No. 1 for the second-straight weekend with $22.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That puts it just ahead of Pitt’s baseball drama “Moneyball,” a Sony Pictures release that opened at No. 2 with $20.6 million. Debuting closely behind at No. 3 was the Warner Bros. family film “Dolphin Tale” with $20.3 million. “Dolphin Tale” stars Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. The 3-D reissue of 1994’s “The Lion King” has taken in $61.7 million since opening the previous weekend to a much bigger audience than expected. That’s on top of nearly $800 million worldwide the movie made in its original run and a 2002 re-release.

The studio has not yet decided how long or how widely the film would play theatrically after the Blu-ray release, Hollis said. “Consumers I think will be happy to consume it in multiple ways for this kind of franchise,...

See? It can happen to anyone

No, 해외 야구 생중계 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not more popular among rural white Americans than President Barack Obama. Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency realizes that now. Two days after it ran a report on its website saying as much, they apologized to their readers in an online posting. Fars admitted it had been duped by an article on the Onion, a satirical news website. However, while admitting their error, the official apology also was quick to say that no less than the New York Times, the Beijing Evening News and U.S. Rep. John Fleming, R-La., had also at some point been duped by the Onion. See? It can happen to anyone. “Active and well-known media occasionally make mistakes, and no media is an exception to this rule,” the apology reads. The apology even takes this notion a step further, pointing to several factual errors or cursing blunders made by the likes of the BBC. The Iranian religious autocracy takes the flow of information in the country very seriously, to the point where it has even jailed the Iranian president’s press adviser, blocked access to YouTube, and locked up numerous human rights journalists. There has been no word yet over whether they Onion spoof landed anyone behind bars in...
