margaret warner has our story. >> warner: it's been a year since the u.s. raid on this compound in abbottabad, pakistan, killed osama bin laden and roiled relations between the two countries. yesterday, there was fresh fallout, when a pakistani court sentenced this man-- dr. shakil afridi-- to 33 years in prison. afridi-- seen here, highlighted in red-- was convicted of treason for trying to help the c.i.a. track down bin laden. he was arrested after word leaked that he set up a vaccination program in abbottabad to try to collect d.n.a. samples from bin laden's compound. in washington today, secretary of state hillary clinton said there was no basis for afridi's conviction or sentence. >> his help, after all, was instrumental in taking down one of the world's most notorious murderers. that was clearly in pakistan's interests as well as ours and the rest of world. this action by dr. afridi to help bring about end of the reign of terror designed and executed by bin laden was not in any way a betrayal of pakistan. >> warner: the trial took place in pakistan's

margaret warner has our look. >> warner: for a decade after 9/11, osama bin laden was the most hunted man in the world. this week, on the first anniversary of bin laden's killing by u.s. special forces in pakistan, more details are emerging about the operation and the relentless, often frustrated, intelligence effort that led to it. journalist peter bergen has written a graphic and gripping account of all that in his new book, "manhunt." bergen himself has been tracking bin laden since 1997, when he produced the cnn interview in which the al qaeda leader declared war on the united states. peter bergen joins us now. welcome. >> thank you, margaret. >> warner: so in all this reporting you've been doing over a decade and in preparation for this book, what was the most startling, telling discovery you made about the hunt for this man. >> one of the most startling anecdotes that i found in the course of reporting the book was michael morel, the deputy director of the cia, several months before the operation went down, went to president obama and said to him that the circumstantial case tha
