(I hope Anujanji do not mind, if I x-post some of his posts here..
I hink will start with my posted quote from other dhaga .."Today was Amal's turn for the Shaikh to be with her.."
*****
To start with ...Episode ... This was how OBL met his end
Today was Amal's turn for the Shaikh to be with her. She was the youngest of his wives. Their rooms were on the top (or second) floor. After the evening meal and prayer Amal and the Shaikh retired for the night.
Shortly past midnight, they were awakened by what first sounded like a storm. Their three-year-old son, Hussain, was asleep in the room. They went to the balcony. But it was a moonless night and pitch dark. Amal reached to turn on the light but the Shaikh said, "No!" He went to the door to call for his son Khalid, who lived on the first floor with his mother Sharifa.
AMAL went to see her children. She had five children. When she returned, the Shaikh's daughters Maryam and Sumayya had come up from their rooms on the first floor. They recited the Kalima (the declaration of faith) and verses from the Holy Koran. The Shaikh said American helicopters had arrived and they should all leave his room immediately. Maryam and the children went to the balcony. The Shaikh reached for his weapon.
They heard a blast outside. Simultaneously they heard noises that suggested people may be on the roof. They heard people coming up the stairs. Suddenly, Amal saw an American soldier on the landing outside the bedroom aiming his weapon at the Shaikh. She saw a red beam of light but heard no sound. She rushed to the soldier and grappled with him in an attempt to take his weapon. He screamed, "No! No!" and shot her in the knee. She swooned... An hour or so later the Pakistan Army arrived and they were taken to hospital. That was how Osama bin Laden (OBL) met his end in Abbottabad around 5 am on May 2, 2011, according to Amal...
SUMAYYA, one of OBL's daughters, who reportedly also grappled with a US soldier, said she saw one of the helicopters land from her window and immediately rushed upstairs to her father's room... Everything happened very rapidly. Although she did not see her father fall, she saw him on the floor. He had been hit in the forehead and she knew he was dead. According to her, blood flowed "backwards over his head"... The American soldiers asked her to identify the body. She said, "My father."
MARYAM was asked the same question and she replied, "Abdullah bin Muhammad." The soldiers did not understand her reference to the last part of her father's full name. Sumayya then told Maryam, "Tell them the truth. They are not Pakistanis!" Finally, they told the Americans the body was that of their father, Osama bin Laden...
SHARIFA SIHAM [Osama's wife] said she was in her room with her son, Khalid, when they were awoken by the helicopters. Khalid went to the window and told his mother the Americans had landed. He took his weapon and went upstairs... She went to see the children... Afterwards, an American entered the room and told them that they had killed Osama bin Laden.
KHAIRIYYAH [the eldest of Osama's wives] said she heard the helicopters and saw one landing from her window. She immediately rushed up to Amal's room... Afterwards, Khairriyah saw her daughters brought downstairs with their hands tied behind them. Sharifa then saw the body of her son, Khalid, lying on the stairs in a pool of blood. She knelt down to kiss his forehead.
