This dataset displays structure locations contained within seven 1 km x 1 km grids in Parachinar that are possible locations of where Osama bin Laden may be hiding. The locations are believed to be structures that have a high probability of places that might be currently hosting bin Laden based on the matching characteristics of his life history.

Each data point contains: Grid number, Structure number w/in grid, Score, and lat/lon location.

The score is the sum of physical structure attributes fitting bin Laden's life history characteristics.

The data comes from a report called: Finding Osama bin Laden: An Application of Biogeographic Theories and Satellite Imagery. The report is by Thomas W. Gillespie and John A. Agnew et all, who through the use of biogeographic theories have produced a scientific method for finding Osama bin Laden.
