Pakistan’s top military spy agency has arrested some of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the C.I.A in the months leading up to the raid.
A Pakistani security official said that “around 35 to 40 people have been arrested countrywide” on suspicion of working for the CIA on the Abbottabad operation, including “some people who were detained from a house close to Osama’s compound” that was believed to have been “used by the CIA.”

As Reported By The New York Times:
The fate of the C.I.A. informants arrested in Pakistan is unclear, but American officials said that the C.I.A. director, Leon E. Panetta, raised the issue when he traveled to Islamabad last week to meet with Pakistani military and intelligence officers.
Some in Washington see the arrests as illustrative of the disconnect between Pakistani and American priorities at a time when they are supposed to be allies in the fight against Al Qaeda — instead of hunting down the support network that allowed Bin Laden to live comfortably for years, the Pakistani authorities are arresting those who assisted in the raid that killed the world’s most wanted man.

Among those arrested, he said, was a milkman who made deliveries to the compound.
