Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden is rumored to be in Pakistan, which is not relatively new information, however it is just now coming to the surface. Why? What will this mean for US and Pakistan relations? Will the US use their ever so accurate drones? This comes to mind because with bin Laden being in a more urban environment the risk for killing more civilians is higher, making his location a wise choice. With the finger pointing right at Pakistan, it will be interesting to see what comes from the US. Pakistan is using bin Laden as a way to control India by having less influence in Afghanistan and heightening their regional security. Another spectacle as to why we are hearing about bin Laden again is because of elections. Also, this plays a part in the war and ou troops being stationed, perhaps his capture would change this. Whatever it may be it will be interesting to see how the US goes about handling this recurring issue.
