Theres a new book from the SEAL Team 6 operator who shot Osama bin Laden in 2011 and in it he is retelling the raid and thus the reason photos of the terror leader's body were never released. Its called "The Operator" by Robert O'Neill. Here's an excerpt that explains why the photos were never released
:
"After they burst into bin Laden's bedroom, the point man tackled two women, thinking they might have suicide vests, as O'Neill fired at the Al Qaeda founder.
"In less than a second, I aimed above the woman's right shoulder and pulled the trigger twice," he wrote, according to the New York Daily News. "Bin Laden's head split open, and he dropped. I put another bullet in his head. Insurance."
Most accounts are that O'Neill shot bin Laden in the head at some point, delivering a series of shots that split open his forehead into a V shape.
Two sources told Murphy in 2016 that several SEALs took turns dumping round after round into bin Laden's body, which ended up having more than 100 bullet holes in it."
"That would likely cause an international scandal, and investigations would be conducted which could uncover other operations, activities which many will do anything to keep buried," he wrote.
Too bad.....there's alot of Americans that would get a real sense of satisfaction seeing Bin Laden get what he deserved.
