Huffington Post reports: Osama Bin Laden is dead, President Obama announced Sunday night, in a televised address to the nation. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched today in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, according to U.S. intelligence. After a firefight, a small team of American forces killed bin Laden and took possession of his body, the president said.
AP reports: After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world’s most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.
Michelle Malkin posts “Latest reports via Fox News live right now are that he was killed over a week ago by a US missile. There are conflicting reports on whether he was killed in Afghanistan (CBS) or Pakistan (CNN). CNN reporting that it was a “CIA asset” (read: human ground operation?) that killed bin Laden.

Yahoo news reports: The United States is conducting DNA testing on slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and used facial recognition techniques to help identify him, a U.S. official said on Monday. Bin Laden was identified by the assault force that killed him in a firefight in Pakistan in which he resisted and was shot in the head, the official said on condition of anonymity. Results of the DNA tests should be available in the next few days, the official told Reuters.
Other sites report that Osama bin Laden died a week ago: The United States waits anxiously for President Obama’s upcoming announcement about the death of Osama Bin Laden.

That’s all very cute, but didn’t Osama Bin Laden actually die in 2001? WhatReallyHappened.com puts it out there:
Osama bin Laden is dead. The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December [2001] and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama’s gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama’s ghost alive or because they have no means of communication.
Even the New York Times reported in 2002 that Osama bin Laden is dead.

So it would have been difficult to find a country that would accept his body for burial? How hard did they try? Assuming it WAS his body, which I doubt. This “announcement” was timed in attempt to save Obama’s bacon, which cannot be done. The new fake birth certificate was not well accepted. Jerome Corsi’s book is coming out. DNA testing in a few days? I don’t think so, it takes longer than that. It will only prove that they have used some DNA of a close relative.
