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.

Bin Laden shot in the head - US official

###

Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed with a bullet to the head in an fight that lasted less than 40 minutes, a US official says.

The operation was watched real-time by intelligence officials in a conference room at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters.

It was reported that applause followed the news that the operation in north Pakistan earlier today was a success.

The US strike force was reportedly on the ground for under 40 minutes and that the attack took place at a mansion with security gates, high walls with barbed wire but that there was no internet running into the property.

September 11 mastermind bin Laden, who was said to have shown resistance during a gun battle, was shot in the head. The official also said that DNA testing of bin Laden had been undertaken.

Bin Laden’s adult son was believed to have also been killed.

Hide behind a woman, apparently.

Says a lot about how cowardly he really was.

Part of me wants to fry up some bacon in his honor, but, I am also sobered to think of him facing the judgment seat of God without Christ. I am also glad there is a literal Hell for such a one.

The ABC story says that the helicopters landed at 1:30 and 2 a.m., that the operation took 40 minutes, and that Osama was buried at sea at 2 a.m. Washington D.C. time. So was he killed at 2 a.m. Pakistan time? ABC is unclear. This getting rid of the evidence is a real problem. It's such a monumental moment and all we have to show for it is someone's word. And Obama's word is worthless.

BTW, it's harder for me to look at a picture of Obama than Osama. Don't get me wrong, I know what OBL did to us. But BO's picture makes me sick to my stomach. That's amazing. I detest Barack more than Osama. That's saying a lot. Is any body else experiencing this?

Know what you mean. But, “we” as in “US”, got this guy. And, people vote their pocketbook or the current occupant would have never won in 2008. So, don’t worry.

Did he buy it from Tony Rezco?

And we are suppose to believe DNA evidence filtered through the Obama Admin. No one can believe a word that comes out from them. Almost any proof can be manufactured when the “authority” is completely corrupt.

That seems a little fast. One would think that the remains would be examined by several authorities from around the world before disposal. Osama’s fans aren’t going to believe he’s dead.

This is all a bunch of BS. I laughed out loud at Obama adoring himself last night.

It went kind of like this.." Yeah rah for America that I hate that I have changed into the not so rich and socialist state. Now here is a piece of five year old meat...now let's all get back to work peons."

CNN now reporting that OBL’s family (older brother) wants his body “so that he can be buried with his own.”

Maybe this is why the USA is saying they buried him at sea. You know if his family gets the body they will turn the burial site into a shrine.

Me too....but they already “buried him at sea” to satisfy muzzie funeral timetable.

BIG mistake. More interested in satisfying Islam than proving OBL’s demise to the people he wanted to destroy.

Now Zer0 is playing politics using patriotism as his last refuge.

“Sleeping with the fishes” was not a wise decision so I have to believe it came from Zer0, who can screw up a wet dream.

DNA!

We need DNA from the body and proof that it is fresh and not from years ago.

We heard long ago that OBL had doubles. And many people believed the monster was killed in Tora Bora 8 years ago.

How could they dispose of the body so fast? Screw Islam-—we are talking about TERRORISTS!

Grrrrrrrrrr!

I am glad I am not the only one thinking like you do. We have an administration that lies about everything and now we are supposed to believe there was some justification for burying the most sought after body in history immediately at sea!!! Before DNA or evidence of identity of anything!! Same mind set for me. Sorry, but I am just not buying it unless I hear it from a warrior who was there.

Amen to that.

Dumping the body at sea will give rise to “hoax” charges forever.

It will be like Hitler, Martin Borman, and other top Nazis after WWII. Rumors of escape for a generation.
