Apart from Osama bin Laden's hideout, places where famous or notable people died will always fascinate, from the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed tragically passed away to the Lorraine Motel, (now a museum) in Memphis, where Martin Luther King was shot, and Graceland, where Elvis died.

The former al-Qaeda leader's compound is arguably a piece of history, but if turned into a museum, some fear it will become a pilgrimage site.
