Instead, he was in a house eight times larger than its neighbors, with a seven-foot wall and valued at $1 million.
The house had no phone or television and the residents burned their trash. The house had high windows and few points of access, and U.S. officials concluded it had been built to hide someone.
According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.
This April 1998 file photo shows exiled al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. A person familiar with developments on Sunday, May 1, 2011 says bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has the body.Two
Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men.
Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.

Osama Bin Laden burried at sea....
PETA complains as sharks throw up.
In other news Japan offers unique burial coffin and mausoleum at the now defunct nuclear reactor site.
Grave hell. Dip him in lard and leave him hanging from a lamppost until he rots.
Sounds more like a prison and that’s just fine with me.
Well, there's proof they were muslims. (There must not have been any kids to hide behind.)
Too bad, so sad...Boo Hooh! /s
That POS is dead on the 10 year anniversary of his evil act.
I only wish I was able to stand next to him and do the world a favor.
CNN reports a “U.S. official” says OBL was already buried at sea. High peculiar.
Buried at sea? WTF??? That’s the only way the body could never be exhumed / verified.
Very weird.
Imagine the pride, relief and fulfillment that group of Navy Seal Special Operators .. and especially those who got the precision shots on bin Laden. How grateful and satisfied they must be.
There's likely also the rewarding sense of righteous justice applied .. for a long time coming .. and also a sense of melancholy, especially remembering the heartbreak and pain of the losses suffered by their brothers and sisters in arms all these years due to that depraved and twisted fanatical beast, and most especially those 11 brothers who perished on June 28, 2005.
God bless them all dearly, and console the grieving loved ones of the lost.

The Story of Marcus Luttrell - The Sole Survivor
Marcus Luttrell is 'the one' - the ONLY one left - The Sole Survivor
In times of war and uncertainty there is a special breed of Warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call.
A common man with uncommon desires forged by adversity he stands alongside America’s finest Special Operation Forces to serve his Country, the American people, and protect their Way of Life.
I am that Man!
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage bestowed upon me by the Heroes that have gone before and embodies the trust of those I am sworn to protect.
By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and it is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a Guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work or seek recognition for my actions.
I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions regardless of circumstances sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast.
My Word is my Bond.
We expect to lead and be lead. In the absence of Orders I will take charge, lead my Teammates, and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will NEVER Quit!
I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies.
If knocked down I will get back up every time!
I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my Teammates and accomplish the mission.
I am NEVER out of the fight!
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my Teammates and the success of our mission depend on me, my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail.
My training is NEVER complete!
We train for War and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my Country. Execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required, yet guided by the principle that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and fear of reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions the legacy of my Teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed.
I will NOT fail!
Once again it’s a fake....all over FR threads. It’s photo shopped.
Either way he saw it coming and I am glad that he did.
Not peculiar at all...24 hours til burial in Islamic law. Even if it’s not true..it’s better it be reported as that so the less the Muzzies can gripe about it...even though they’ll moan and graon no matter how the US handled it. Bottom line...our guys got him and no secret shoot to kill was well known to Ben-Laden and the people for years.
