Brick
- Description
- Adobe-colored masonry brick stamped in the center with raised letters "K" and "I." Cement unevenly coats the brick.
- Historical Notes
- Eluding capture, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his family had been living in a safe house in Pakistan for several years before he was killed in 2011. Local authorities razed the compound in February 2012. Before the complex was completely demolished, journalist Dominic Di-Natale chiseled a brick from the house’s foundation as a souvenir. A correspondent with Fox News then based in the capital city of Islamabad, Di-Natale had been reporting on the War on Terror and the international manhunt for bin Laden.
