ISLAMABAD - 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. U.S. President Barack Obama decided not to release photos of his body because it could have incited violence and used as an al-Qaida 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.

yawn
The skinny one looks like UBL’S son.
Looks real. Naw, that is liquid cherry jello mix they poured out. Hollyweird special effects. :-) Good stuff. They are a mess. Head shots probably?
They were using toy guns??
I’ve seen far worse up close and personal but I do so love it when a plan comes together. Good thing they were not using Mossbergs like we used to on raids. THAT left a bloody mess!
But I STILL want to see the photo of the guy they are saying was the main target. Then and only then will I believe he is truly dead.
Sooooo ... where’s OBL ?
guess everyone is hitting that server!
I got nothing when I clicked the link.
The third guy on the photo is definitely Khaled Bin Laden, Osama’s son, that being the first visual and undeniable proof that Bin Laden was at that campound that night.

They have the same stupid look on their faces dead or alive.
"No, I got no time for napkins!"
Where’s OBL?
these were taken by a local after the SEALS were gone
they likely took Binnie, and left the second stringers behind for the Pakis to clean up
We bought and paid for this snuff film and dammit I want to see the money shot.
Not as graphic as a terrorist muzzie cutting off someone’s head.
In time.
Gotta feeling THAT photo will be “leaked” right around campaign season.
I really hate that ba$tard.
Osama too.
We should have kept him and made “Weekend at Binny’s IV” .
Good riddance !
Not as graphic as a charred body hanging from a bridge.
Kinda makes you swear off drinking bloody mary’s for awhile.
Those guys really bled out. Strange.
