With five-year delay, CIA 'live-tweets' bin Laden raid

The CIA has marked the anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden by live-tweeting - with a five-year delay - the raid by U.S. special forces on the al-Qaeda founder's compound in Pakistan.

Using the hashtag #UBLRaid, the CIA blasted out updates of the May 2011 strike as if it was unfolding in real time - in a highly unusual move for the secretive spy agency.
