Quoting: manif3stThe statement came even as American officials said that the US Special Forces operation to find and kill Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday was planned as an elite strike by a small team to minimize any collateral damage or death in the area. According to CBS News, the team went on board two Black Hawk helicopters. "It was a military team of about two dozen, but they were operating under the authority of Leon Panetta, the CIA Director, since the US military does not have authority to operate in Pakistan. A second team of about two dozen orbited out of sight in case they were needed," the officials said. They also said that US troops were at the compound for less than 40 minutes. "Laden did not go peacefully. He resisted arrest and was killed in a firefight as US troops entered the compound," the officials said. The officials also revealed that none of the specific intelligence resulting in the raid was shared with any other country, and only a "very small group of people" inside the Obama administration knew it was to happen.

| manif3st (OP) User ID: 1243855 Canada05/02/2011 06:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea. The official did not immediately say where that occurred. [link to www.kgan.com] |

| manif3st (OP) User ID: 1243855 Canada05/02/2011 07:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Three other men were killed in the raid - one of Bin Laden's sons and two couriers - the official said, adding that one woman was also killed when she was used as "a shield" and two other women were injured. One helicopter was lost due to "technical failure". The team destroyed it and left in its other aircraft. One resident, Nasir Khan, told Reuters the helicopters had come under "intense firing" from the ground. The size and complexity of the structure in Abbottabad had "shocked" US officials. It had 4m-6m (12ft-18ft) walls, was eight times larger than other homes in the area and was valued at "a million dollars", though it had no telephone or internet connection. The Abbottabad residence is just 200 metres from the Pakistan Military Academy - the country's equivalent of West Point. The senior US official warned that the possibility of revenge attacks had now created "a heightened threat to the homeland and to US citizens and facilities abroad". But the official added that "the loss of Bin Laden puts the group on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse". |
