One of the reasons U.S. Navy SEALs were able to so skillfully execute the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound last year was a CIA training facility in North Carolina that mirrored the architecture of bin Laden's actual compound in Pakistan. In 2011, during those crucial months that SEAL Team Six trained there, it was one of the most secretive facilities on U.S. soil. Now, for the first time, the facility has been revealed on Bing's satellite map service during a phase when it was under construction. Peekaboo!
That's an aerial shot of Harvey Point Defense Testing, a CIA training
facility in North Carolina. It was taken on February 15, 2011. Look
familiar? Here's a shot of Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad,
Pakistan, shortly after the May 2011 raid.
