WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF DEATH AND INJURY BELOW
Photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the U.S. assault on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan show three dead men lying in pools of blood, but no weapons.
The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday, show two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one in a t-shirt, with blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.
The official, who wished to remain anonymous, sold the pictures to Reuters.
None of the men looked like bin Laden. President Barack Obama decided not to release photos of his body because it could have incited violence and used as an al Qaeda propaganda tool, the White House said on Wednesday.
Based on the time-stamps on the pictures, the earliest one was dated May 2, 2:30 a.m., approximately an hour after the completion of the raid in which bin Laden was killed.
Other photos, taken hours later at between 5:21 a.m. and 6:43 a.m. show the outside of the trash-strewn compound and the wreckage of the helicopter the United States abandoned. The tail assembly is unusual, and could indicate some kind of previously unknown stealth capability.
Reuters is confident of the authenticity of the purchased images because details in the photos appear to show a wrecked helicopter from the assault, matching details from photos taken independently on Monday.
U.S. forces lost a helicopter in the raid due to a mechanical problem and later destroyed it.
The pictures are also taken in sequence and are all the same size in pixels, indicating they have not been tampered with. The time and date in the photos as recorded in the digital file’s metadata match lighting conditions for the area as well as the time and date imprinted on the image itself.
The close-cropped pictures do not show any weapons on the dead men, but the photos are taken in medium close-up and often crop out the men’s hands and arms.
One photo shows a computer cable and what looks like a child’s plastic green and orange water pistol lying under the right shoulder of one of the dead men. A large pool of blood has formed under his head.
A second shows another man with a streak of blood running from his nose across his right cheek and a large band of blood across his chest.
A third man, in a T-shirt, is on his back in a large pool of blood which appears to be from a head wound.
U.S. acknowledgment on Tuesday that bin Laden was unarmed when shot dead had raised accusations Washington had violated international law. The exact circumstances of his death remained unclear and could yet fuel controversy, especially in the Muslim world.
Pakistan faced national embarrassment, a leading Islamabad newspaper said, in explaining how the world’s most-wanted man was able to live for years in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, just north of the capital.
Pakistan blamed worldwide intelligence lapses for a failure to detect bin Laden, while Washington worked to establish whether its ally had sheltered the al Qaeda leader, which Islamabad vehemently denies.

so much for the ass hat’s claim that he didn’t want to ‘spike the ball’ there, eh?
the hubris and the lies from the U.S. is beyond the pale.
but at this point, nobody knows where these kills were done and why. anyone can put a date time stamp into a photo…so that’s not convincing.
my best guess is that all ’3′ sets of O’sama Bin Decomposin PHOTOSHOP pics were so debunked that the tactic now will disclaim they released them.
Instead, we should claim that the legitimacy of the U.S. being anywhere in the region should be rescinded because it’s all been proven to be fake.
no WMD, no proof of 9/11 complicity of anyone in Afghanistan or for that matter, Pakistan.
Citizens of the world, take a good look at these. You’re all NEXT…
if they’ll fake the reasons to do this, they’ll fake the reasons to do it anywhere, anytime, under any and all false pretenses and lies.
and that is very very sadly what’s coming.

whay, thass rayt!!! you are such a government shill, where do you work, Jeremy? The Porongon or in Langley? or maybe Tel Aviv.
look, all of these faggoty half ass baked photoshop jobs that came out got debunked, then the jackoff in Washingtoon, District of Corruption then disconnected their sorry asses from them.
next, they started to float a bunch of PHOTOSHOP work via the MSM in Britain, which is wholly controlled by the ROTHSCHILDS zioturd jewish banking cartel.
whey don’t you go back to your bosses there in the Pornogon and come up with a better obfuscator of a bunch of TREASON than this shit, Jeremy. You guys are slipping up in your ability to even remotely look legitimate.
pathetic shit like this is the hallmark of the U.S. and it’s MOSSAD bosses in Tel Aviv, and unfortunately, the shot at the top of the TXCO Radar Cross Section ‘model’ used to do cross section analysis, is the ICING ON THE CAKE here.
you guys are smoking the wrong crack to float garbage like this and expect it NOT TO BE DEBUNKED!!! assholes.

did you read my fourth sentence, shill? duh! lighbulb on yet?
of course these were released by the DoD, where the fuck else did they come from?
oh I forgot, OWL+CIA=DUH! aka RITA KATZ at SITE just said OWL+CIA=DUH just confirmed Osama’s death.
those terrorists sure are tricky, using a tactic like confirming to their enemy that their alleged but dead for 9 years head man was actually killed by their enemy. that’s sure right out of the James Bond spy playbook to me for winning propaganda wars.
get real. or go back to your Pentagon boss and ask for clarification on how to proceed with someone who is calling you a shill for your obvious as a sore thumb, shill snide ass comment.

Obviously no one ACTUALLY from Al Queda confirmed that bin Laden was dead – who are they going to ask?! it’s not like they have a spokesman or a PR man! That was a little riduculous for MY government to say.
But what makes you so sure that he died shortly afte 9/11? I did hear his kidneys were failing – is that what you think did him in? and if you’re right (which you’re not)
WHY WAIT 10 FUCKING YEARS TO CREATE THIS LIE?! you’re not a 9/11 researcher. Just some whacked-out loser living in your mom’s basement waiting to plot your own Jiad? Your theories belong in a movie script.
and with the exception of a couple of us here; are any of you AMERICAN?!?!?!?!
It’s not means the terrorist attacks stop. I think, Americans will may be more attacks by terrorist ,special who oversea .

something just dawned on me…now hear me out, because i’m not up to speed on the international laws on killing leaders of terrorist organizations…er, i mean, heads of state, but were the passengers aboard all those planes armed with box cutters and knives? i can’t remember if that came up or not?
also i think the UN revokes your ‘head of state’ license if you miss a meeting or two. and if we were this bold, why not just destroy the entire middle east and take control of all the oil we can get?

you are right, one photo is with out a time stamp and the two last photos at then end have the same time that is not possible.

easy co-conspiracy theororists: really? how long does it take you to snap a photo with a digital camera? longer than a minute? then you’re doing something wrong.
and did you think that maybe they’re using more than one camera? so maybe the time stamp function wasn’t on during the 1st picture? now there’s your conspiracy theory!

i will say that the ‘blood’ looks like the aftermath of a strawberry jelly factory explosion. and there is a little too much of it.
and why weren’t these bodies disposed of in the traditional muslim manner? i didn’t hear about it, did you?
hell – perhaps bin laden WAS captured. that’s why there’s not a photo. interrogate him, then let him loose somewhere around Liberty and Church Streets in NYC. talk about outlaw justice.
[Reply]
i think the reason the president of our free world (democracy we call it) had bin laden executed because they were implicated in 9 11
theres no way bin laden did that un assisted.they did not want him talking.so kill him on sight.
[Reply]
So we killed our own citizens? just want to make sure I’m following you. I’m assuming that’s what you meant by “they were implicated…”
[Reply]
im very glad he is finally dead!! i take my hat off to all the people who have dedicated so much time and effort to tracking him down and finishing the job off,well done to the men who killed him aswell!!

nice try, Jeremy! how’s the weather there in Tel Aviv today?? Kill any Palestinians today???
[Reply]
Did they give him a shave after the first pic was taken?? Seems to me that the beard was trimmed in the middle of the photo shoots? I can understand that his face could swell up but is this really the same guy in all the pics?

one last comment to CommonSlime up above:
First, had you done any research, you’d see that the U.S. now claims that OWL+CIA=DUH! (hahahhahahahhahaaha!) did indeed put out a statement, via Rita Katz, of S.I.T.E., the grand schlomo and majordomo of the ISRAELI mossad propaganda machine in the U.S., stating that they were confirming the death of Osama in the raid.
Any moron with a working brain knows that in reality, no TOILET (qaeda translated) in it’s right mind would fess up that their operational leader had been killed by their enemy. So, scratch that off the list of your whiney GOP cognitive dissonance ridden mind, little one.
Next, best guess as to ‘why’ float this story of bullshit about a man who died on December 13th., 2001, per all accounts including a death notice published that said he died of renal failure and lung complications and was buried on Dec. 14th., 2001, is not yet known. What is known is that this entire raid was a ‘hoax’ and not one bit of the PHOTOSHOPPED garbage published by the government but denied by them, until the F.B.I. published the old guy in front of the TV who has the wrong ear structures to be Osama, making them accomplices to this fraud, probably was done to create a reason for U.S. military invasion of Pakistan.
now, go do your homework, dufus, and get a clue. You’re not dealing with a man you can joy boink with your small never wore a uniform in your life, republican dick here, nimrod. I’m going to cut you some slack here and not bite your puny non thinking head completely off and leave you with this thought to ponder:
If you didn’t know that 9/11 was a huge LIE perpetrated by the U.S. Government and ISRAEL, and that the official bullshit story wasn’t making it, you wouldn’t be so upset. Part of your GOP faggot brain is rejecting the official bullshit story and that’s why you lash out at those of us who make this truth evident to the world.
My work has been translated in more than 20 languages about 9/11. My guess is your sorry GOP ass barely is capable of holding a G.E.D. certificate, let alone having anything you’ve ever done in your miserable republican life, published globally.
so go back to your TV set, tune in Faux Noize and go back to sleep. Don’t throw your weight around in blogs like you know what you’re talking about. Oh, go take Liann with you, she’s a hottie (from Tel Aviv).
best wishes,
your buddy,
the 9/11 researcher who won’t let you go away unpunished for being an ignorant jackass.

I’ve always sptuecsed that the Pakistani government was playing on both sides of the street, this seems to prove it. In any event; my compliments to SEAL team six for a job well done. I also noted with interest that Osama remained true to form and died a coward by using a woman as a human shield; so much for his holy jihad, it’s all well and good to preach jihad and martyrdom ’til you’re the target.
