White House holds off on releasing Osama bin Laden death photos
The White House Tuesday continued to refuse to make public gruesome photos affirming Osama bin Ladens death, despite calls some corners among politicians, the families of 9/11 victims, and some skeptics for it to do so.
“There are sensitivies here in terms of the appropriateness of releasing photographs,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney, who called the photos of Bin Laden’s corpse “inflammatory.”
in the case of bin Laden, administration officials fear the photos could provoke some in the Muslim world. The photos are also reportedly grim, as Bin Laden was shot above the left eye and the chest, U.S. officials said, near the end of the 40-minute operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
