nic robertson will join us, he is at the scene with new information. nic, what have you learned?> reporter: well, what we have learned is that there were 17 to 18 people inside the compound, that 4 men were killed, that the woman with bin laden leaved possibly to be his wife was shot in the leg, and all of the people who were injured or nearly moved out of the way of the killing of bin laden and the others there were left for pakistani authorities to round up later and the pakistani government now has custody of those people and is providing those with medical treatment that require it and says they will repatriate them to their countries of origin. if provides more clarity on what was found in the building at time and how events unfolded. of course, the key issue is what bin laden was doing precisely if he didn't have a weapon. what moves was he making. what impression was he creating? th what his next move, a violent move or nearly moving to hide and defend himself? >> nic, what is happening at compound now? we are seeing pictures of that compound inside. do we know what is tak

nic robertson and arwa damon in beirut.e's a big question, as the question says i'll be on the side of the reformers, united states will help you. is he viewed in the region as relevant? >> well, i have to say that this revolution is an ongoing thing and very much there is a lot of skepticism about the american role in egypt, for instance. there's a lot of resentment over the fact for decades the united states was a very close partner of hosni mubarak providing him with billions of dollars in economic and military aid. it was only at the very last minute that the united states dropped him like a hot potato and threw in support for the revolution. you have decades of passions of resentment that have finally been freed with the fall of these regimes. and therefore, a lot of that passion resentment and anger is being focused at the united states and no fault of his own necessarily because he's only been in office for just over two years, but at barack obama himself, john. >> it was striking listening to the president. he noted

cnn's senior international correspondent nic robertson joins us here in our london studio.een talking about the dissident republican groups that might be responsible behind these devices that have been found. what do we know about them? how large of a group are they? >> reporter: we know they are the remnants of the i.r.a. that went on a cease-fire and then signed up to a peace agreement and politicians are now in government in northern ireland. the remnants were dissatisfied with that deal and they, over the past few years, particularly re-organized themselves, coalesced with other dissident republican groups. and have become much better at making bombs, at placing bombs, targeting and killing policemen and security personnel in northern ireland. and making their threat much bigger than it was right after the peace deal was signed. they have threatened violence, their easter sunday speech in northern ireland, they threatened the queen and her visit to northern ireland. the result is what we're seeing today, perhaps. >> are these groups, these cell groups, do they work unde

and cnn national correspondent nic robertson had a chance to get up to one of the 18-foot walls thatthe compound to get a closer look. >> reporter: it is right here across the field where there is a big crowd of people gathering around there. i can see the soldiers as one soldier is walking across the field, but when you look at the building and look at it there, it is different from all of the other buildings around it. it is taller. it is the high wall. the compound starts right here, and you can see how high the wall is. look at this. okay. i'm 6'0" and my arms maybe another two feet, so that is an idea of how tall the wall is and of course razor wire on top of it as well. if you come back and stand up over here, you can see the high part of the compound building here. it was up there on the second and the third floor where bin laden was killed. two shots, one to the head, one to the chest. what is already becoming a tourist attraction of itself, and look at the people gaerred this here. they have their cell phone out taking pictures and professional journalists down here and a lo

let's go live to abbottabad, pakistan, where we're joined by cnn senior international correspondent nic robertson. tell me about the protests and who is leading them. >> reporter: well, it's lawyers here, amazingly enough, in this city, who are protesting. i spoke to the president of the bar association here today. he said 400 to 500 lawyers came out, protesting what they called an american attack on the compound. i asked him about this. he said they don't believe that bin laden was living here, that they believe that this operation was to bolster president obama's chances for re-election next year and he doesn't believe his government as well that politicians here in pakistan are using this situation to further their own political advantages. so you have this sort of influential, intellectual group in this city, who are saying unless they get a photograph, they won't believe that bin laden's dead. they actually want more than a photograph. they want the people in pakistani government custody. the other family members. the wife. the daughter of bin laden. to be shown publicly. and to he
