Why not hide out in Italy? There are plenty of small towns that are pretty cut off from the rest of the world. Meanwhile, the food is great and the scenery is beautiful....

I don't think you understand how 'hiding' works.

If you are a assassin, especially a foreigner, you don't go hide in a small town with few people. If somebody came looking for you, everyone will be able to point at the new guy in town.

Compare that to a city bustling with millions of people, where you can truly get lost. That's why Osama stayed hidden in Pakistan instead of some random caves which can easily be bombed by US drones. US drones can't bomb middle of a city, esp army area (where Osama was). This is why US had to use stealth helicopter to go after him.

The point is, you don't hide in areas where anyone can find you.

He was told to wait there by his handler. Well, actually, he moved to the next village. But it's as good as.
