The Abbottabad resident's followers on twitter went up by thousands after the news broke out. SOT: "I think the follower counts are increasing the moment the word Abbottabad was used. Because I have Abbottabad as my location in Twitter. And if you search for Abbottabad now you'll probably find lots of people who are in Abbottabad but at that point I was probably one of the very few who have Abbottabad as their location. And I had already mentioned the helicopter explosion, so people started following me."
