Killed. US navy seals attacked a compound in Pakistan. Killed Bin laden, his brother and a lady who they apparently used as a human shield.

Why, would you like me to log on to Reuters, first thing, every day. DOH

Seems that US forces have been working on information they have had for about 4 years and finally it has come to an end. (Bin Laden or Quins SL status?)

Disposed of the body of sea. A tad strange to finally kill the worlds most wanted man then just toss him overboard.

Disposed of the body at sea

In accordance with Islamic traditions. The US government had already said "their war was not against Islam" and that "his body has been treated in accordance with Islamic rituals".

I'm sure the conspiracy theorists will be out in force BUT would the current US president take the risk that OBL pops up next week and says "no I'm not" if it wasn't true.

Was it for the best he was killed,will we now see more acts of terriorism.As groups will now want to avenge his death.

'we've killed the worlds most wanted man'

'that's GREAT.... Where's the body'

'oh that old thing..... Oh well we threw it in the sea didnt we... Like you do'

'oh so there isn't a body then'

'not as such.... No.... We did kill him though.... Honest.'

Sounds like a monty python sketch.

I suspect the reason they put the body in the sea is to stop his grave becoming a mecca for Islamic extremists

Oh dear.....USA created another martyr for the extremists to follow and hold up as a symbol of Western oppression.
Despite what the UK news teams are saying, is this really a time for 'celebration', this will only inflame further the likes of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

So nothing has and ever will actually change will it.



So the body was disposed of at sea ??
They were a hell of a long way from any sea......

Found in Widnes' throphy room apparantley.

Approx 600 miles and given that Navy Seals were involved and likely to be flying Black Hawks back to US ships, its no different than travelling from Glasgow to London and dropping somebody off at Watford.

you'd think a few pictures of him, bit of a video tape and then dump him.

there is a picture of him circulating

I wonder if they will name the people who got the final shot?

Was it for the best he was killed,will we now see more acts of terriorism.As groups will now want to avenge his death.



of course, with him alive the world was full of peace and harmony. Have you heard of 9/11, mumbai, etc, etc

Died years ago, but lets not let the facts get in the way of a good story.
10 years ago it was reported that he was having kidney dialysis 3 times per week, who spent years travelling through mountains on a donkey, who lived a simple life according to the traditions of Islam, and yet, was found in a multi million pound mansion, in a garrison town 60 miles from the capital living in splendour, and is now buried at sea!! Might wash with simple-minded Yanks, but not me.

=#FF0000snip no youtube links of copyright footage,

forward wind to 2 minutes.

As if they really caught him. At a time the US government is under massive public pressure due to budget cuts/restraints, a huge fillip for them in the polls.

And this topic needs to be on here because? thought this a rugby forum why would i want to come on here and read this drivel,plenty news channels showing this, ppl will know before login here to read it.

No chance. It would be a massive security breach and would give anyone looking for revenge a target.

I don't think the 'special interests' that exert influence over the US, are particularly aligned with Obama and the Democrats, and they wouldn't do him any electoral favours. They are more likely to want Obama's government to fall and the Republicans come back in.

I reckon they probably got him. Sounds like they were trying for the double this weekend, Gaddafi and Bin Laden.

I can see the logic behind burial at sea but I think they will need some concrete pictures to make people believe it was him. They took photos of Che Guevara when they killed him.

His death was annouced on the same date as Hitler's was

Cue a Pennington change of Avatar, then

Are people suggesting they've made this up? As conspiracy theories go it's a big one. Anyone care to offer a shred of evidence to back up that contention?

Hitlers was announced ages ago, silly!
