Pakistan After Bin Laden - YouTube
Suroosh Alvi of VICE travels to Bin Laden's infamous compound to see what people really think about living next to America's most vilified fugitive.
Unsurprisingly, their concern lies less with the proximity of Bin Laden than the chaos that his death has sparked. Although the controversy over whether
or not Pakistan was harboring Bin Laden and the "trust deficit" is the primary focus for the American media, Pakistani news is busy covering the
onslaught of violence that has broken out since the May 2nd raid. The people have seen a marked increase in American drone attacks, while the
Taliban continues its retaliation with a relentless wave of suicide bombings. Anti-American sentiment has never run higher and this turbulent
nation clearly has bigger issues than Bin Laden's death to contend with.
