Reuters reported yesterday that Pakistan plans to build a $30 million amusement park on the edge of Abbottabad – the same town where U.S. Special Forces found and killed Osama bin Laden.

The private venture in the foothills of the Himalayas will include a zoo, water sports, a mini-golf course, rock climbing and paragliding, said Jamaluddin Khan, the deputy provincial minister for tourism.

But Kahn insists that the park will have nothing to do with the former terrorist.

“This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden,” he said.
