MARGARET WARNER:
Much of the new information comes from Pakistani interrogations of bin Laden's youngest wife, a 30-year-old Yemeni who sustained a gunshot wound to her leg the night bin Laden was killed.
The interrogation report first disclosed by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn shows bin Laden ask his three wives were living in Pakistani cities and towns for nearly all the time the Americans were hunting him after the November 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah told interrogators that from 2002 to 2010, bin Laden moved among at least five houses and fathered four children in the northwest city of Peshawar near the Afghan border, in the Swat district 80 miles from the capital, Islamabad, the small town of Haripur in the same region, and finally from 2005 on in Abbottabad, just 30 miles from Islamabad.
Fatah and the two older Saudi widows of bin Laden are now under house arrest in the capital.
And for more on all of this, we turn to Declan Walsh of The New York Times in Islamabad, who has been reporting this story, and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who has written widely on Pakistan and has had access to some of the documents found in bin Laden's last house.
Welcome to you both.
Declan, beginning with you, the picture that emerges here is quite the opposite of what many Americans thought for a long time, was that bin Laden was some kind of hunted figure on the run living in caves. Flesh it out for us, the picture that we get from this.
