Not a week ago, but April 29th in the morning, apparently.

April 29th was when Obama decided to go ahead with the operation. It actually happened on May 1st.

From the BBC:

On Sunday a team of US forces undertook the operation in Abbottabad, 100km (62 miles) north-east of Islamabad.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the spelling of the location this morning, and the second thing I thought was, "Horsey's definitely going to make a joke about that on WR."
