aparently bin laden resisted arest but was now armed

should be a war crime to kill an unarmed person in a foreign country that has no prior knowledge of the attack.

they shouldnt be allowed to go murdering unarmed people anyway including his human shield

So:
pakistani operatives involved
pakistani operatives not involved
OBL was unarmed
OBL was armed

what next? Maybe the real truth will never come out?
They probably released the truth without thinking, then tried to cover their tracks by amending the store to stop further questions?

Still doeasnt seem right...

Lol, they really are failing at this.

So he was unarmed and resisted arrest which somehow prompted the large number of highly trained military personnel to have no other option but to shoot him in the head which sounds like an execution?

They found Elvis hiding there to, apparently he was on the toilet.

tbf though executing terrorists worked well in the embassy siege.

big difference between an embassy siege and an attack on the home of a terorist especially when he wasnt armed or a threat to anyone at the time

If I was a high ranking member of Al Queda I'd really be stirring up a hornets nest right now.
I'd be telling the West that OBL died of natural causes a while back and that the Americans are lying through their teeth.
I'd also be flatly denying any Al Queda involvement in 9/11 just to stir it up a bit more.
I've often wondered why they've never done this already.

woudl make them seem weak though.

Him dying in a blaze of glory is more appealing to young angry men.

Neither were the terrorists who were put against the wall and shot by the SAS after they surrendered.

arknor · 3 May 2011 at 20:18

i dont recall that happening? i thought they were all killed during the raid apart from one who had a grenade or whatever who tried to pass himself of as captive?

anyway the whitehouse has previously said they would try to take osama alive if they had the chance

ay Carney repeated that the al Qaeda leader "did resist" during the raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

"There was concern bin Laden would oppose the capture operation and indeed, he did resist," he said.

He said bin Laden's wife tried to rush the commandos as they stormed into the room where her husband was. She was shot in the leg, but not killed.

"Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed," Carney added, saying several other people in the building were armed and that there was a "volatile firefight.

not exactly the human shield people pictured either

Not according to the hostages.

the one who passed him self off as a captive got outside before being identified and arrested before the SAS could take him back inside.

Would you trust Bin Laden one way or another, regardless of what he was doing?

I know I wouldn't. If I was in a room with him and he wasn't doing exactly what he was told I'd have a very itchy trigger finger.

Trigger happy Americans got scared when they saw he had his modified shoes on and was wielding a turban so they shot him on the spot.

Personally I think he was innocent and that the twin towers were a conspiracy, maybe I have been brainwashed by the zeitgeist movies but that's just my opinion.

They did kill one on the stairs. (might have been a hostage though)

Also fun fact the one who was arrested has since been released from priosn claimed asylum and is now living in London under a fake identity provided by the government for a huge cost because we couldn't deport him to Iran were he might be tortured.

According to the hostages in the room they did, supposedly they were on orders from thatcher to kill them all

even if he didnt do 9/11 he was still a terrorist leader who did bad things or atleast incited others to do them.
i'd have liked him to have been captured alive personally but i guess even if he was we would never find out any of the information they might have learnt from him or they wouldnt have given us an insight into the life of bin laden

So Osama bin laden was in on the conspiracy?

And was in fact then working with the Americans the entire time?
