Tweet Sohaib Athar The First Regular Citizen To Know About The Bin Laden Raid

Good thing Bin Laden wasn’t following him on Twitter, reports Time:
Sohaib Athar, a resident of Abbottabad, Pakistan, spent Sunday’s wee hours tweeting about helicopters circling overhead and a mysterious blast. Little did he imagine that he was recording America’s attack on the world’s most wanted terrorist.
Later, our unsuspecting witness catches wind of the news that all the noise wasn’t for nothing. “Uh oh, now I’m the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it,” he finally recognizes. “And here come the mails from the mainstream media… *sigh*.” So much for achieving anonymity in the mountains.

Other than the fact that he should probably move for a couple days……..how cool is that!? See what he was saying during the raid after the jump.
