| Osama bin Laden 'was dead in 90 seconds' |
| 2011-11-04 |
| Chuck Pfarrer, a former commander of US Navy SEAL Team Six, whose members carried out the assault, claims bin Laden was shot dead almost instantly rather than killed in a 45-minute firefight. Claiming to have interviewed several men involved in the raid, Pfarrer also contradicted the official account of how the SEAL team landed and how one of their Black Hawk helicopters crashed. "The SEALs entered the building after being deposited on the roof by the lead helicopter, not from the ground," Pfarrer said in a statement about the book. "Only minutes after bin Laden was dead did the lead helicopter, heading for a landing spot, lose altitude and sink, tail-first, into the large walled enclosure east of the main house." Pfarrer explains that if the SEALs had been forced to climb stairs to reach bin Laden, as has been officially claimed, he would have had enough warning to arm and effectively defend himself. "Bin Laden was dead within 90 seconds of the beginning of the raid, not after an extended firefight," Pfrarrer said. "Four suppressed rounds were fired". |

| #12 **** cough **** cough **** cough **** ..... D *** NGED BANANA MUFFIN. As for Ayman, I'll believe it only when Ayman himself verifies it, or in alternate Mullah Omar, KSM. ONE CAN GUESS ANOTHER PERSON'S OR PERSONS' REASONS OR STRATEGIES, ETC. ONA CAUSE(S)-OF-ACTION ONE HUNDRED OR ONE DILYUHN PERCENT CORRECTLY, BUT ITS STILL NOT THE SAME AS HEARING IT PER SE FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH. |

| #11 "Dead in 90 seconds" Good name for the Film. |

| #10 Exactly. With their 7th century bloodlust and conspiracy theories, I'd think it would be almost comically simple to turn the jihadis against each other. I sincerely hope Western intelligence agencies have been doing this all along. |

| #9 Even if its not true (the Zawahiri thing) it would be a good rumor to start spreading around the Islamic world. |

| #8 Zawahiri threw Binny under the bus? |

| #7 Hm. That would make Zawahiri . . . a Juice-crusader pig-dog infidel double agent. Excellent. |

| #5 he repeatedly sent a courier, whose cover he must have known had already been blown So, WaterModem, if this is correct, then it implies Zawahiri USED the SEALS to kill off bin Laden. |

| #4 The book also argues that bin Laden's long-time deputy, Ayman Zawahiri, may have been ultimately responsible for leading the US to his boss because he repeatedly sent a courier, whose cover he must have known had already been blown, in and out of the compound. A trusted Kuwaiti courier, Abu Ahmad, is believed to have been followed by US officials for several months before the raid after his name emerged in interrogations of other al-Qaeda suspects and he was tracked down to Abbottabad. So, by this account we should know where Zawahiri is --- with accuracy. |
