Amusement Park Planned For City In Pakistan Where Bin Laden Was Killed
In an effort to bring more tourist dollars to Abbottabad, the city in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was killed, the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has instituted a plan to build an amusement park.Syed Aqil Shah, the provincial minister for tourism and sports, said:
The project is rumored to cost about $30 million and will take eight years to develop, will feature a parrot house, heritage center and boating lake, according to the Telegraph."This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden ... we are working to promote tourism and amusement facilities in the whole province and this project is one of those facilities."
The actual home site where Bin Laden was killed by American forces in 2011 has been torn down, and the park will be built in the city itself, not on the place of Bin Laden's death.

And in the latest news they are also planning on repaving the road on which JFK was killed and they're building a new bus station 10 blocks from where John Lennon was shot... What a nonsense story.
