left eye and the bullet blew away part of his skull, a U.S. official says. He was also shot in the chest.
The precision kill shot was delivered by a member of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six during a pre-dawn raid Monday on bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Photos of bin Laden's injuries were transmitted to Washington as proof that the mission was a success.

IF killing osama gets uhhbama re elected, it’ll be worse for America than anything that osama ever did to us while living.
Let him henceforth be named Osama Bin Blownapart.
We should apologize that he may have suffered a brief headache.
At least he wasn’t WATERBOARDED!!!
The administration needs to please us, show us the damn videos and pictures already.
Blown apart? So was JFK’s; however, they released those photos—eventually.
Navy Crosses for all. Secret ceremony of course.

Or will Obama string this out for maximum political benefit and use the pics as a fresh reminder in October 2012?
I’m sure these SEALS are so classy that a medal would almost be an insult. God Bless them all!!
The White House is changing its story daily. Now they say OBL didn’t have a gun and he didn’t use a woman for a human shield.
Why lie about that??
They are serial liars about everything.
government`s on all this = government`s word on all this
Better yet, the 0bama administration needs to release UBL's birth certificate...that'll do the trick.
The new movie by Oliver Stone will acknowledge this.
A silent movie filmed by a goat herder named by Zapruderistan will show frame by frame of Bin Laden’s head being blown apart going from back and to the left.
