The official did not say over what period the data was collected, but noted that from September the United States “was concentrating on this.”

He added that much of the focus was on a courier coming and going to the compound. He did not give the courier’s nationality or name.

Osama bin Laden was not in contact with other militant networks while he was there and maintained “an invisible footprint,” the official said.
