What happened to his eyes?

Did they take the eyeballs out for an IRIS confirmation?

US helis must have crossed over from the indian side which is onlee 50km away and moved at tree top level, before again exiting into India - the safest place for this op.

Makes sense Singhaji because if they used the black hawk it has a combat radius of 592 KM and the only way you can do that with enough safety margin is if they were launched from india

NBC reporting US officials expecting reaction/retaliation from individual and bad actors.

Seeing the crowd celebrating on TV, when will we get a chance to celebrate like this for non-cricketing reasons.

OBL's body is is Bagram AFB

Guys, had to tune off for a while. Somebody, please tell me was there TSPA help? How did US special ops and helcopters get in so deep into TSP without TSPA help. If in fact US did pull it off while Kiyani and Pasha were sleeping on the job, they sure will look like eunuchs in front of the average Abdul.

Desh had better get out all its Ballistic Missile Defence Systems out asap. Never know what mis-adventure the rabid dog is going to carry out at any point of time.

My bet is on all the paki F-solah's being rendered ineffective by unkil yesterday!

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 02 May 2011 10:43

As per BBC

0644: Pakistan's Dunya News is reporting that Pakistani troops are searching the site of Bin Laden's death. Troops are also involved in recovering the remains of a Pakistan helicopter that reportedly crashed during the operation, the TV station says.

I guess the pakis are fire-hosing the scene

But, the eagle has flown with it's prize!

So whats the mystery about this paki chopper!

RoyG · Post by **RoyG** » 02 May 2011 10:44

I agree with lakshmi....jeez we better watch out. these pakis can do anything especially since they proly in a world of shit now.

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 02 May 2011 10:44

I suspected as much.

Helos take off from Chaklala Airport Islamabad, go to Abbottabad, and then fly off to Jalalabad - refuel - fly to Bagram.
Or they flew directly to Bagram.

The body will probably be in a freezer as we speak. I doubt they'll take it to the US homeland.

Problem is what to do with the Body? The place you bury him will become a shrine.

One guys on CNN saying that a "FACTION OF THE ISI WAS PROTECTING HIM. PAKISTAN IS A POLICE STATE, AND NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE ISI KNOWING."

Good to see OBL died with his eyes open after a flash-bang and 5.56 round to the temple.

Come on boss, lets show some intellect. Not to minimize the taking out of Osama, but do you really think those kids celebrating in DC have any clue on whats going on, except, lets go USA wof wof wof, we got Osama, led on by the media. Bunch of dimwits just looking to come on the streets and party. Kind of like the 2003 black out in NY city. Buddy of mine was telling me while the news media was talking about hardhsips faced by NYorkers with no power, the NYorkers were themselves having a party on the streets. He went on to add that it was a nice time to get laid given the party atmosphere. These celebrations remind me of that. Reality of life will sink in tomorrow morning.

There should be an exit wound at the back which will confirm the range and the person (whose rifle) actually administered coup de grace!

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 02 May 2011 10:47

I think that image might have been Photoshopped.
Bullet wound and blood splattered was pasted on a OBL picture.

Possible

lakshmikanth · Post by **lakshmikanth** » 02 May 2011 10:48

Guess is the body will disappear, even if it does there will be a lot of pious and the pure trying to get their 72s because the US did not follow Islamic tenets to dispose of one of the purest pious on the earth.

TSPA is toast, a part of it atleast! I am sure a part will survive! Will be interesting to see how this fissures TSPA

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 02 May 2011 10:48

From the picture it looks like OBL was using natural black mehendi dye and shikekai powder for washing his hair

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 02 May 2011 10:49

WOW!
What would be going through the mind of the guy who pulled that trigger that got OBL!!!
Guy deserves a HUGE Medal of honor - Biggest bravery award / HUGE Billion dollar prize etc etc.

Fox news had just a panel discussion and they all blamed TSP for it and said that the ISI was protecting him... CNN has been a bit ambivalent on Pakistan !!

CNN is covering up for pakis
Peter Bergen Said once: Troubling questions on how OBL lived there for the last several years
Wolf answers- Obama has thanked Zardari.
Basically CNN will not say anything on TSP until it is cleared by the administration tomorrow.

PM Gilani (and to some extent Zardari) will be glorified to pacify Paki people. But the sun is setting on the lavish lifestyle of Paki-army, and the rogue army of ISI. Game over for them - Strategic depth only in their dreams.

he mission that killed one of the world's most notorious terrorist leaders was carried out by U.S. forces with the cooperation of Pakistan, U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday night.

Osama bin Laden -- the longtime leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion about 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.

Members of Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, were on site in Abbottabad during the operation, a senior Pakistani intelligence official said.

Oh! can we please publish the name of the "senior Pakistani intelligence official"

I doubt he was thinking of those thoughts - he was most likely reacting to his training. From the pic, seems like a standard double tap to the head (one thru one eye).

To me that pic looks genuine.

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 02 May 2011 10:53

OK confirmation that the photo of OBL with bullet in the head is photoshopped and is about 4 years old.

This is from a news report / rumour that GWB was about to announce that OBL is dead. People at that time had made this PSed image.

So sorry for that image

Looks like he was taken out at close range with a 5.56 round to the temple, above left eye. No exit wound, bullet resides in skull.

They eyeballs got burnt in the flash grenade blast.

The lips are definitely OBL. No more videos from him.

Helo was Paki last ditch attempt to extricate him, got shot down, most likely. TSPA busy trying to destroy evidence after the fact.
