Apologies if you already know this, but Sohaib Athar is an IT consultant from Pakistan. Perhaps more interestingly, he's also the man who tweeted Osama bin Laden's capture live to the world.

This may sound a little bit 'Hong Kong Phooey', but his first tweet 'Helicopter hovering over Abbottabad at 1am (is a rare event), blew the gaff on the world's most secret commando raid ever.

In his Twitter persona of @reallyvirtual, Sohaib Athar now has almost 90,000 followers.
