We might never get to see pics of Osama bin Laden's death, but you can still grab a piece of the home in Abbottabad where he was killed. According to NYDN, a business savvy contractor who was hired to demolish the property has decided to sell it brick by brick.

Shakeel Ahmed was hired to flatten the compound. According to him, the rubble was put up for auction but since other builders too frightened to bid, he decided to scoop the who lot for Rs500,000 (about £3,300). Now the bricks are on sale for anyone who wants to negotiate a deal for 1,000 or more.

Shakeel also snapped up two olive trees, cooking oil and window blinds but fears that his role in disposing of Laden's house could attract the attention of Islamist militants. "My family is very worried that my life is now in danger," he said. "Now, I always travel with a bodyguard."
