Reuters Releases Gruesome Photos Of Bin Laden Raid Aftermath

Photos
» 87 comments

In a series of graphic and gruesome photos posted on the website of the UK’s Guardian, the aftermath of the U.S. raid on the compound of Osama bin Laden is made vividly clear. The photos, the newspaper says, come from the news agency Reuters, which said “the photos [were] taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday. The official, who wished to remain anonymous, sold the pictures. Reuters is confident in their authenticity.”

Some of the photos depict the compound–including the wreckage of a helicopter believed to be one that failed in the raid and was destroyed by U.S. forces as they left.

Warning: the photos posted are disturbing and contain extremely graphic content, including the bodies of people killed in the raid.

    So because something’s are terrible, they shouldn’t be addressed? Maybe our kids need to be shown stuff like this as a deterrent for entering terrorism themselves.

  • ndanielson

    Besides the downed Helo, isn’t it amazing how the Special Ops and military portion of Osama’s killing was executed flawlessly? No American lives lost. A perfect Muslim burial at sea…Most of it probably set in motion by G.W. Bush.

    Then look at the bungled aftermath. No plan. No one even seems to know where the intel came from. Differing accounts of actual events. Hourly. Not even a plan to deal with the “photo”. Wow, that 0bama, what a mental powerhouse. But what can one expect from a genius who had only 16 hours to react?

    This helps put it in perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P0M2ZSaGDw For all you Sesame Street lovers. Skypets. This guy gets his own funding, too.

    And continued leaks…

    Tell that to the families that have had homegrown terrorists in the US.

    They see blood and guts in video games, movies, etc., so why the equivocation on this? It makes no sense. The only logical reason would be that we fear for other Muslim extremists to cause future terror incidents.

    I am just saying that the Reuters link went down. I saw the post on Twitter from Tammy Bruce, then went to Reuters. They were up then. Then a min. later, it was down. That could be due to overload OR physically taking them down. Who knows.

    I didn’t think the photos were as gruesome as I thought they would be.

    Here’s how disgusting and repugnant the lunatic-left d-crat socialists are: THEY ALLOW THEIR STOOGES IN THE SOCIALIST MEDIA TO PHOTOGRAPH EACH AND EVERY COFFIN OF AN AMERICAN SOLDER KILLED OVERSEAS, BUT THEY WON’T RELEASE A SINGLE PHOTO OF AMERICA’S REAL ENEMY.

    Hey, TRUMP: once again do your thing and get them to release the photos.

    BTW: “obozo killed osama” tea-shirts are NOW ON SALE by the d-crat socialist party. All proceeds go to “You Lie!”‘s re-election campaign.

    What the hell difference do the pictures make??? Most of the Muslim world is unaware of Photoshop. Anyone can make the perfect Photoshop pictures of a dead OBL and inflame the Muslim world endlessly. A cartoon picture of Mohammad does the same thing. The American people have every right to see the photos, but he’s, 0bama, leader of the free world.

    Somehow, I doubt that the Muslim world would be so outraged;

    On December 30, 2006, he was taken to the prison to be executed. The Iraqi government released an official videotape of his execution, showing him being led to the gallows, and ending after his head was in the hangman’s noose. International public controversy arose when an unauthorized cell phone recording of the hanging showed him falling through the trap door of the gallows. The unprofessional and undignified atmosphere of the execution drew criticism around the world from nations that both oppose and support capital punishment.

    A couple of dead guys lying in a pool of blood. Not very gruesome, IMO.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    Did anybody call the Abottabad cops when this was going on ?
    If so , the cops were probably wise to stay out of it .
    When Osama’s wife was shot in the leg , then what ?
    If the Pakistani military showed up , what was the plan ?
    Why is our gov’t. talking about the valuable info they got ?
    They don’t have to comment and let the leads know and skedaddle .

    The smug press guy is not a good spokesman . Impossible job , for sure ,though .

    The pictures . Clearly they had no housekeeper , or furniture to be seen .

    So we can see this taken by a Pakistani and sold to Reuters but we can’t see Usama? Maybe the administration should stop thinking of the picture as a ‘trophy’. Our men and women serving this nation have seen much worse on the battlefront- maybe it is time for the rest of America that sits home and goes about their daily lives, to have a visual dose of reality.

  • felixw

    Here’s how to get Obama to release the Osama bin Laden photo. Have Trump demand to see it. Then the liberal media (and Mediaite) will run countless stories a day on it every day, and then Obama will issue it — but only after three years have passed.

    And Obama’s made his trip to Ground Zero quite the cluster f^&k, as well. It’s an invitation only event and lots of 9-11 families are really ticked off at the administration for the way it’s mishandling the post-Osama bin Laden story.

    The military is not only competent, but excellent and outstanding. The Obama administration is INcompetent on every level- from Biden opening his bazoo to Brennan and his ever-changing story on the raid. Honestly, these people are “the gang that can’t shoot straight!”

    I think some Republicans are mad because Obama comes off looking really smart. It was his idea to go into “Paki”-stan, it was his idea to have a small group of troops go in.. and it was him who continued the wars when liberals didn’t want it.

    He really owns this victory, sure Bush started the wars… but I wonder if Obama will end them. This is a great start… I think people need to just stop taking things so personally. You should be happy Osama’s not around, he spent his time thinking of ways to kill Americans, he was the mastermind who helped kill 3,000, no tears should be shed for him. Think about the children killed on 9/11, think of THEIR bodies. We didn’t see those things but if we had seen more of the human devestation of 9/11 (the bodies of those that jumped), I’m sure it’d make us really emotional too.

    Maybe it’s good for us though, to see that our enemy is a person too, Republicans seem to be humanizing Osama, which maybe they should have done when the war started. He had his reasons to hate America but he was an insane fanatic and I will never think twice about shooting him, if you ask me… he was living on borrowed time.

    Okay, I’ve stop laughing, so now I can reply… He may ‘look’ smart but he sure doesn’t sound smart. It was not his idea to go into Paki- it was the intelligence that drove the trail there right to Usama. It was Panetta who pushed for this with the support of Hillary and Gates. Obama was briefed and who really knows what he said – we have only his word and that keeps changing along with story on how things really went down. But I can guarantee you he was not calling the shots, he knows nothing about a military operation and was a bystander once this got underway. I can almost guarantee that if this had all gone south, he would have turned on Panetta/Gates and the CIA faster than you could say “osama bin laden”. This is not a man who would have taken the fall, only the glory.
    BTW- Not only liberals want an end to the wars, and especially not a new one in libya.

    In response, 60% said Medicare should remain as it is, while only 34% said it should be changed in the ways pushed by Rep. Ryan.

    In addition, the poll also found that 70% of voters opposed cuts to Medicare funding in general as a way to reduce the defciit, versus 27% who supported those cuts.

  • Barack Must Go

    These photos, especially the one of a dead guy leave me with more questions than answers.

    When we saw the original photos one clearly showed the bedroom with a king size bed, huge pile of blood on the floor ( can now see from this photo belonging to this guy ) not belonging to bin Laden.

    In that original photo, available here at MEDIAite ( different thread ) there is the hoses and various hook up lines for Osama’s dialysis machine top right next to bed. This could only mean this was bin Ladens bedroom, but that’s not him dead at the side of HIS bed.

    Raid supposedly took place in the middle of the night, by complete surprize yet another man, not bin Laden was shot getting out of his bed.

    We’ll most likely never know the true story of what actually happen that fateful night,and it probably doesn’t matter.

    ….. but I’ll be damned as a “real ” American if I will blindly take the word of Barack Hussein Obama ll regarding what went down, as his version is designed merely to bolster his radical agenda to destoy America as we know and love her, replacing her with God knows what……not going to happen….not now, not ever.

    It’s only been 3 dayz and his story’s already changed 40 times. Kind of leaves one with an uncomfortable feeling coming from the guy with his finger on ‘ THE ‘ botton…..if you know what I mean.

    Actually I do – All BO had to do was give the presidential approval and green light the operation – you really think the team sat there and referred to Commander in Chief on each step of this operation? Call me an idiot- look at the photo that was released – Obama is not giving these guys a play by play on what to do -they were under the command of the CIA and taking orders from their commander (not Obama) that is what I meant by bystander- they pulled him from the golf course. You really believe Obama was sitting there telling the SEALs what to do and when to do it ? – talk about ignorant.

    From Tea Party Patriot, and bookworm:

    1) There was a firefight.
    2) There was no firefight.
    3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
    4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
    5) He used his wife as a shield.
    6) His wife was killed too.
    7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
    8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
    9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
    10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
    11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
    12) Unless it was some other guy.
    13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
    14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:

    A) It had mechanical trouble
    B) It did a hard landing
    C) It crashed
    D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash

    15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
    16.) No, it wasn’t.
    17) The chopper blew up.
    18) The SEALs blew it up.
    19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
    20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
    21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
    22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
    23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
    24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
    25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
    26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked.

    Actually I do – All BO had to do was give the presidential approval and green light the operation – you really think the team sat there and referred to Commander in Chief on each step of this operation? Call me an idiot- look at the photo that was released – Obama is not giving these guys a play by play on what to do -they were under the command of the CIA and taking orders from their commander (not Obama) that is what I meant by bystander- they pulled him from the golf course. You really believe Obama was sitting there telling the SEALs what to do and when to do it ? – talk about ignorant.

    Always the SAME with WACKOS LIKE YOU!!!

    Because the operation went PERFECT he was a BYSTANDER and DESERVES HARDLY ANY CREDIT…..

    If there had been any kind of problem or if the operation would have failed, he’s COMMANDER IN CHEIF and he would have deserved all the BLAME.

    Katie Couric’s negotiations with CBS to stay at the network to do a syndicated talk show are officially dead — not gonna happen … this according to plugged-in sources at CBS
    Our sources say the breakdown occurred because CBS was unwilling to give Katie substantial involvement in the network’s news operation. We’re told CBS honchos were willing to give Katie pieces for “60 Minutes,” but nothing more — and Katie wasn’t having it.

    As a result, Katie will make a clean break from CBS and will not be doing a syndicated show for the network.

    We’re told ABC is now the likely future home for K.C.

    You are truly a buffoon. Obama makes the call, Navy SEALS kill the most wanted man in the world and bitches like you are whining about it. Pathetic pos.

    It’s simple. These folks are CONSERVATIVES first, REPUBLICANS second and Americans only when it’s convenient.

    If there were any mistakes made by the Obama Administration in the aftermath it’s probably a result of too much transparency with the media in trying to get their account of events out before Pakistan, terrorists or the unhinged fringe did. This didn’t occur in a remote location, but in a town of 120,000 (remember a neighbor twittering the raid as it happened?)
    So when you mix together the event of the year, reports from individuals in a Seal team that probably wasn’t fully debriefed, an often adversarial press room full of folks wanting to make names for themselves, and an often impatient general public who’s used to seeing “combat” as scripted, staged, choreographed CGI events presented in HD, this is the result you get.

    If anybody’s not satisfied with Bin Laden being dead, I suggest chartering a boat and sailing out to the Indian Ocean with a scuba suit.
    Watch out for pirates, though.

    Take a chill…If you have read any of previous posts since this has unfolded you would reign in your over zealous reaction. If the Operation had failed Obama would have turned on the CIA, Panetta and Clinton faster that you could imagine. He would have made the blame would land on everyone except himself, no doubt effectively ending any thought for Clinton to even contemplate a run for president had this gone south. I have given Obama all the credit he deserves. No more, no less. To do otherwise would endow this president with abilities he does begin to possess.
    First off, NO mission is ‘perfect’ – we had to blow up our own helicopter. Secondly, Obama SHOULD be a bystander when the operation was underway- as I suggested before- take a look at the official picture from Panetta’s office EVERYONE was a bystander. You give the order and you have to sit back and let those who know what the hell they are doing do THEIR job.
    You are so crazy trying to defend Obama that you are unwilling to look at anything from a realistic POV. You throw around petty names and the only point you are making is that you have alot of growing up to do.

    Another delusional Raving Rightie. No wonder no one wants to run for president over there. The guys the Raving Righties like are too extreme to get elected dogcatcher and the moderates aren’t willing to take the assraping the Raving Righties will give any Republican who disagrees with them. No wonder Glenn Beck has a picture showing him shooting himself in the foot on his website….it’s true!

    So the flip side of that is LIBERALS first, SOCIALIST second and Americans when convenient ?

    Understanding that much of the military is conservative, I am not sure you want to lop that bomb about being American only when convenient…

    Actually other than your disparaging remarks about conservatives I agree with some of what you said – I don’t think it has to do with transparency however, but from an operational standpoint, with an election coming up, I do believe this is a prime PR moment to make Obama look as if he was more involved than giving the ‘green light’ He must look Presidential. So there is a balance to who gets what as far as credit, whether deserved or not. He can’t praise Panetta too much, and goodness, knows Hilary can’t appear to be stronger than the Pres.
    Obviously, the president had to give approval or there would not have been any operation. period.

    I agree with your assessment of the communication/facts fallout. When you don’t have static participants in an operation, evidence of a bloody take down left for anyone to photograph, a sovereign nation pleading ignorance and anger, aides to each player in the WH, a zealous news -breaking first media information will get put out before it is substantiated and put to the test of truth.
    No one, other than those present can really speak with any authority to what went down.
