Abbottabad, Pakistan, was a midsized city unknown to most outside the country until late Sunday night, when President Obama announced that the US had found and killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden there. Here are five facts to put Abbottabad, Pakistan, in context.

Abbottabad is “deep inside” Pakistan, as Obama noted in his address Sunday night.

It is about 75 miles northeast of the capital of Islamabad.
