Bin Laden Dead

 

The SEALs encountered bin Laden on the third floor of the main building. Bin Laden was "wearing the local loose-fitting tunic and pants known as a kurta paijama", which were later found to have €500 and two phone numbers sewn into the fabric. Bin Laden peered over the third floor ledge at the Americans advancing up the stairs, and then retreated into his room as a SEAL fired a shot at him.

 

The SEALs quickly followed him into his room. Inside the bedroom, Bin Laden lay on the floor with a head wound as two of bin Laden's wives stood in front of him, shielding him. One of them,Amal Ahmed Abdul Fatah, screamed at the SEALs in Arabic and motioned as if she were about to charge. One of the SEALs shot her in the leg, then grabbed both women and shoved them aside. A second SEAL entered the room and two SEALs shot Bin Laden in the chest.

 

 The SEAL team leader radioed, "For God and country—Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo," and then, after being prompted by McRaven for confirmation, "Geronimo E.K.I.A." (enemy killed in action). Watching the operation in the White House Situation Room, Obama said, "We got him."

 

Bin laden's body was later taken back to the US and had been issued for DNA testing. We were able to do this by collecting samples from his sister who had died of cancer. The CIA later said in a press conference that they had received the results of the DNA tests, and that they confirmed it was him.
