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.
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.
They better have DNA.
