He almost found him

Despite being a religious whack-job he was closer than any of the 'official' ones seeking bin Laden have ever been.
The Hindukush 
mountain range near Chitral, in northwest Pakistan. 
The area is thought to be a refuge of Osama bin Laden.
The Hindu Kush mountain range near Chitral, in northwest Pakistan. 
The area is thought to be a refuge of Osama bin Laden.
By now, you’ve probably heard the news: a middle-aged construction worker from Colorado was arrested in a forest in northwest Pakistan, carrying a samurai sword and a pistol, looking for Osama bin Laden.
He didn’t find him.

Before you chuckle, let me just say: Whatever else we might conclude about Gary Faulkner, our arrested American bounty hunter, we should give him this: He was looking in the right place.
Or at least the place where many intelligence analysts think he is: the mountainous high-altitude district of Chitral.
