Food supplies were distributed to 80 households
Workers completed the demolition job in the garrison town of Abbottabad in northwest Pakistan on Monday.
The Al Qaeda leader moved into the three-story house in 2005. Acting on intelligence gathered by the CIA, a team of US commandoes flew in by helicopter from Afghanistan and killed bin Laden on May 2 before dumping his body at sea hours later.
The operation left Pakistan’s army in the awkward position of explaining why it had not detected the US raid, and how bin Laden was able to live in the town without its knowledge. US officials have said they have found no evidence that senior Pakistani officials were in the know about bin Laden’s whereabouts.
Mechanized backhoes and construction workers began pulling down the house on Saturday night, working under floodlights.
An Associated Press photographer said Monday the job was completed, save for a section of its boundary walls.
The house stood less than half a mile (one kilometer) from one of the Pakistan army’s top training academies.
Authorities never allowed journalists inside the building, and starting from a few days after the raid stopped them from even getting close to it.
Officials did not explain why the house was destroyed. Some residents of Abbottabad thought it should be a tourist attraction, although given the sensitivities surrounding the property it was hard to see the government developing it as one.
Property documents show the land was owned by a man who later served as a courier for bin Laden. He is believed to have been killed during the raid.
Last year, several foreigners were briefly detained for trying to see it, including the Danish ambassador and his wife. US commandos took computers, books and other intelligence materials from the building after killing bin Laden, and American officials were allowed to visit it in the weeks that followed.
