In fact, the officials said, he had only three men with him at the compound for security and had made no attempt to destroy any of his intelligence. “There is a lot more material than we expected to find here,” said one of the officials. But officials also emphasized they had no evidence that the Pakistani government officially supported bin Laden, and there was no indication that local citizens provided support for him.
