    from cnn, long enough after to be close to the truth.
    How U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden

    By the CNN Wire Staff
    May 2, 2011 -- Updated 0541 GMT (1341 HKT)


    U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in a mansion in Pakistan.


    STORY HIGHLIGHTS
    • NEW: Source says bin Laden was shot in the head
    • Pakistani official: Members of Pakistan's intelligence service were on site during the operation
    • Three other men and a woman who was used as a human shield were also killed, officials say
    • Sources: Osama bin Laden resisted the assault and was killed in a firefight


    (CNN) -- The mission that killed one of the world's most notorious terrorist leaders was carried out by U.S. forces with the cooperation of Pakistan, U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday night.
    Osama bin Laden -- the longtime leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion about 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
    Members of Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, were on site in Abbottabad during the operation, a senior Pakistani intelligence official said.
    Bin Laden resisted the assault and was killed in a firefight, senior administration officials said.
    The Pakistani intelligence official said he did not know who fired the shot that actually killed the terror mastermind.
    U.S. sources including a senior official and a congressional source familiar with the operation said bin Laden was shot in the head.
    Three other men were also killed in raid, as was a woman who was being used as a human shield, senior administration officials said.
    The U.S. team was at the compound for about 40 minutes, the officials said. There were no casualties on the American side, although a U.S. helicopter crashed during the raid due to mechanical problems. The helicopter was then destroyed for security reasons, senior administration officials said.
    A senior administration official told reporters that Obama's administration did not share intelligence gathered beforehand with any other country -- including Pakistan -- for security reasons.
    The official said only a small group of people inside the U.S. government knew about this operation ahead of time. Another official said a "small U.S. team" was involved in the operation; but the official would not confirm any U.S. military involvement.
    However, a senior defense official said U.S. Navy SEALs were involved.

    again the public has a short memory, the Pentagon declared a few years ago he was dead and they had DNA to prove it

    and now this,

    for all we know, it could be his body double

    butterfly mate, this is who you remind me of Younger Bear from Little Big Man, almost an exact duplicate in reality. But somehow he too fit in with the rest of the tribe.

    Anyway, I'm not sure how this helps Obama's plot to impose Shaira law on the good Christians of America.

    It was a joke.

    Edit: I see from your red that it was my FFS that you objected to. My apologies. I forgot that in the land of the free the only permitted response to a terrrrsts death is to invoke a fictitous paki-hating dad in the sky.

    WTF!!!!!!!! Reports on BBC now that Osama Bin Laden ALREADY been buried at sea!
    Bin Ladin buried at sea (Breaking News)

    Bin Ladin buried at sea Breaking News

    By KJ Mullins.


    There will be no grave for the followers of Osama bin Ladin to visit. Official reports say that the man called the Face of Global Terrorism by CNN has been buried at sea.


    U.S. officials used facial imagining and other techniques to identify the body of Bin Ladin. During the fire fight in which he was killed Bin Ladin is said to have fought back and was shot in the head.
    According to ABC News it is Muslim tradition for the body to be washed by Muslim men and then buried as quickly as possible. Burials are generally simple with a ground burials performed with a simple white sheet or sea burials.
    A senior administration official told Jake Tapper this about the body: "We are ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner.‬"
    CNN reports that a U.S. official said that Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea

    "0902: Col Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, tells BBC News: "This is not just symbolic - this is a major setback to al-Qaeda. It shows that the US is strong and al-Qaeda is weak. It is the third major high point of the war on terror. The first was the removal of the Taliban from power. The second was the defeat of Saddam Hussein. "

    Do you think these people really believe this? Martyrdom is remarkably potent.

    I wonder if any photos of the body will be released?

    Just reading according to Islamic law the body needs to be washed and buried before next prayer ideally.

    So did they bury him at sea before the DNA results proved his identity?

    0752: US General Jack Keane told the BBC's Today programme that it was "appropriate" that Bin Laden was killed by US forces. "I'm glad we're bringing a body back [to the US] as to opposed to him walking back," he said.

    Well I see that's the reason that they have gave, but maybe there were other options? It all seems a convenient sweeping under the rug to me, and it will to a lot of other people too. The US govt. is hardly the most trusted in the world, and more proof that they indeed killed Bin Laden will be needed by many.

    "One of my strongest memories from 9/11 is people celebrating around the world. I remember being disgusted. Now I have just seen Americans celebrating the death of Bin Laden outside the White House, I am again disgusted. I believe this scene may even incite more hatred and terror against in America and Europe."
    interesting comment
