Instead, he was in a house eight times larger than its neighbors, with a seven-foot wall and valued at $1 million.
The house had no phone or television and the residents burned their trash. The house had high windows and few points of access, and U.S. officials concluded it had been built to hide someone.
According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.
This April 1998 file photo shows exiled al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. A person familiar with developments on Sunday, May 1, 2011 says bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has the body.Two
Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men.
Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.

Yes! And it makes me proud to be an American.
Whom should we thank for chasing this scum around the world? Who started a manhunt that old Zero couldn't stop? What MSM headline won't we see today?
Bush's fault!
Apparently the key to finding OBL was information obtained by water boarding at Gitmo.
Locals in Abbottabad on Twitter and Facebook reported that the gunfire only lasted 4 to 5 minutes, and there were no further shots fired.
Raid occured around 12:35AM local time, Monday morning, May 2, 2011. That’s around 2:35pm EDT Sunday.
That photo going around is fake from last November.
Confirmed by locals, 2 Blackhawks and 2 Cobras, as well as a B-2 or some other fixed wing asset came in afterwards.
The Blackhawk might have been shot down, locals report, though they are civilians and weren’t sure.
So that’s how it goes.
As you can read from the many comments on here, I am not alone in this line of thinking. The actions of our heroes in the military have nothing but my utmost respect for the job they do. The Obama White House has continously lied to the American people from day one and now without any pictures or any kind of “smoking” gun Im supposed to magically believe what the president tells us is the absolute truth? If this world has taught me anything its to question everything. The only trust I have is in God and the words of the Holy Bible the rest is up for debate. So please go troll on someone else.
Well, now we know where his twin brother printed the birth certificate...
Newsflash, we just killed the Muslim version of John the Baptist, a lot of Muslims are going to be mad regardless of how you bury Bin Laden. The more I think about this, the more irate I get.. We spent TRILLIONS of dollars! I want to see Osama’s corpse hanging at ground zero for crow inspection! This is just Obama bowing to the Muslims, like he did with the Arabs and the Chinese. Even during such a great event as the death of that monster, Obama finds a way to make America look weak.
LOL, no kidding. He can’t blame Bush on this one. But he’ll try to grab as much credit as possible.
This will spark a new conspiracy. How dumb are they?!?!
Great job, Navy Seals!
Please tell me how a person could give the directive to get the most wanted man in the western world and then go play golf?
The man loaded his remarks with I I I I I I I I I, yet could not give up a Sunday round of golf?
God that says alot about obama. Is life ever about anything other than him?
I believed he was killed years ago. Never heard that burial at sea was a muzzie custom.
the more I hear about it the more I’m getting pissed.
Why the hell did we ditch the body and respect his religion when people lay there for months rotting.
We should have brought it back to the US and then let people see him and then ditch the body where the sharks are.
Why have we not cut off the paki’s and their money, what will we do with the paki’s as they let him stay there and we did have a policy of harbouring terrorists is not friend of ours.
They go in on the start of May day, the lefts big holiday, he makes his little speech about I and me but then we gave them billions.
Also if we knew where he was then why did we not wait till we got their number two as he is more dangerous than Bin laden and then get them together ?
Why on the eve of May day.
Nah there are more questions than answers but of course the media is not asking and just repeating.
They are supposed to bury their dead within 24 hours.
That’s why you see videos of Arabs carrying coffins through the streets in a big rush.
But OBL?? Why any courtesy for HIM after what HE did?
Wrapping him in pigskin and letting him rot would be too good for him.
I believe it is the same pic that was shown as proof of his death, on a mainstream Australian tv channel, during 6pm news earlier today.
IMO, Islamabad should be in flames right now.
At $100 billion a pound, they throw him into the sea. Unbelievable. Now I am not doubting he is dead. I am questioning the decision not to let the American public keep the prize! They should have buried him right under the new tower!
What if they conconcted the death and burial at sea to render him somewhere to pump him for info indefinitely?
my question too and I’;ve just dropped the kids off and the bus driver who was a fireman just said the same thing.
Why did we respect his religion and customs and why did we not wait till we found his number two and get them together.
UBL had been there for years so we should have watched him and then got the two at the same time, instead, we get him on the start of May day the lefts nice holiday and dump his body in the sea where it cannot be confirmed by others.
This all was a mess up and gives more questions than answers.
Why did we not take him alive if we wanted the others like his number two.
We asked him and then shot him, HUH, should have shot him in the leg and then bring him back and question him
I know they are supposed to bury their dead within 24 hours, but at sea? Not kosher ;-)
