Sohaib Athar - whose Twitter user name is @ReallyVirtual - has gained tens of thousands of followers since May 1, when he issued a few jocular tweets describing helicopter action near his house in Abbottabad.
The tweets quickly became serious as it appeared one chopper had crashed and a family may have died.
The following day, US President Barack Obama announced that a raid in Abbottabad had left the notorious al-Qaeda boss dead.

Athar realised he had unwittingly 'reported' on the raid as it happened, and tweeted:
