Abbottabad, the City Where Osama Bin Laden Was Killed, Is Building an Amusement Park
In an effort to boost tourism, Abbottabad, the Pakistani city where Osama Bin Laden was killed, is building an amusement park. There will be all sorts of fun activities, including a zoo, a paragliding club, a rock climbing wall, water sports, and even mini-golf. But will there be a Zero Dark Thirty ride or anything else related to the city's one-time most famous resident? Alas, no.
"This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden," [Syed Aqil Shah, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's minister for tourism and sports] said, adding: "We are working to promote tourism and amusement facilities."
The park will cost an estimated $30-$50 million and should be completed in the next five years, so plan your schedules accordingly.
