Well. i check the news, originally it is pakistan's helicopter got hit and went down. Then their force went it and search.. then somehow kill Bin Laden.  
That was the few originally fews.  Then after that, obama's announcement overwhelm everything and that news was not on spotlight.

and as said in radio,  1) there are only few guards in the building.  2) it took 40 mins to kill.  by.. damn.. they are SEAL.  how can they take that long? even longer than Philippines police?  hmmm

whether Laden is dead or not, the story has some problem..

My personal take is that the 40 min figure is not the duration of the entire firefight. Instead, it includes the start of the Navy SEALs operation until the conclusion when they have entered the compound, scanned through and secured the entire site.

But there is probably no way for us to know how long this operation will take until XBox/PlayStation release the mission in a US Navy SEALs game...

Bin Laden wasn't armed when he was shot, White House says
By Sheldon Alberts, Postmedia News May 3, 2011 12:49 PM

WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday substantially revised its version of Osama bin Laden's death, revealing the al-Qaida leader was not armed when he was shot in the head by U.S. Commandoes.

A spokesman for President Barack Obama also backtracked on earlier White House claims that bin Laden used his wife as a human shield to protect himself.

Now, officials say a woman who was not bin Laden's wife rushed U.S. assaulters and was injured, not killed.

One woman did die in the raid, but she was caught in the "crossfire" of a firefight on a separate floor of the large compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The new details contradict on-the-record and off-the-record versions offered by senior U.S. officials about how the operation went down, including statements that bin Laden had a weapon.

The White House is still weighing whether to release photos of bin Laden's body out of concerns over their "gruesome" nature.

More to come...

I think I'm laughing at is that. they make such a big deal of "OH.. a Million house.. ".
****.. in vancouver, there are tones of houses over millionssss.    Ladin should have moved to Vancouver and no one will find him.  

by the way, from outside, the house doesn't look like a pretty resort, just like a  村屋.

Anyone knows if this is a modified "Blackhawk" or some new models?

Lik

Aircraft experts in the media and aviation field are saying this is a highly modified H60 Blackhawk, most likely equipped with stealth capabilities (low radar visibility). And because there is stealth technology involved, the SEALs had to take precious time to ensure that the aircraft is destroyed. In particular, Pakistan and China have been establishing closer ties, and have, in fact, co-developed aircrafts for military use in the past. So the implications of leaving any traces of technology behind is simply unacceptable from the US' point of view.
