**When the operation took place some news came out that Pakistani intelligence officials has asked the people of the surrounding areas to stay indoors and the electricity was turned off. This was hushed up later…

The fact remains that obl was of no utility to anyone when he was killed. Pakistani army would have preferred to get his killing attributed to a drone strike. With the eventual unravelling of events the generals considered it prudent to take the blame of incompetence as compared to be a party to the alqaeda or the U.S.

I dont think that is true. If it had happened, independent media sources must have extracted this truth from the locality where operation was conducted. Also, you cant force people to not to spread this truth that they were told to stay at home in the time of operation.
If they wanted people stay inside they would have used some other tactics instead of coming in-front of people and delivering message directly.
