    Shakeel Ahmed, opportunist extraordinaire

    Osama Bin Laden is all over the news again, not bad for someone who has been dead and gone for quite some time now. Today sees the disclosure of documents seized at his compound. It is also a great opportunity for those looking for a keepsake to get in on the ground floor – the bricks from his compound are going on sale.

    The three-storey compound in which Bin Laden was captured has been stripped of all pipes, curtains and beams, but Shakeel Ahmed has been left with thousands of bricks. In a brilliant twist of capitalism (which Bin Laden was so vehemently against) the bricks are now being sold as souvenirs.

    The asking price? A mere $0,05. People from all across Pakistan have been lining up to get in on the action. Any bricks left over will be sold at auction, and will most likely sell for a much higher price.

    Now, this may not seem like much, but look at the Berlin Wall – pieces of the wall are selling at auction for lots of money, a small chunk worth about $60. This could be a pretty smart investment.
