What to do with former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's compound has caused problem in Abbottabad, Pakitan - where the former leader lived and was killed in a 2011 US raid.
Local authorities want to construct a children's playground there, while the military wish to build a graveyard. BBC reports that the two sides have fought over control of the land - and on Wednesday the military erected a wall around the site, surprising local authorities.
Bin Laden had been living there in secret, in a three-storey building behind high walls, for several years before his death. The land has remained without use ever since.
