Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap to the left side of his face
2011-05-02
From Ghazi Air Base in Pakistan, the modified MH-60 helicopters made their way to the garrison suburb of Abbottabad, about 70 miles from the center of Islamabad. Aboard were Navy SEALs, flown across the border from Afghanistan, along with tactical signals, intelligence collectors, and navigators using highly classified hyperspectral imagers.

After bursts of fire over 40 minutes, 22 people were counted, and five were killed. One of the dead was Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap -- boom, boom -- to the left side of his face. His body was aboard the choppers that made the trip back. One had experienced mechanical failure and was destroyed by U.S. forces, military and White House officials tell National Journal.

#2  CNN AM > repors US Officials as stating that Osama may had been residing in his Abbottabad compound for as long as THREE YEARS.

This leads me to wonder iff OBL's health problems may had started to get the better of him [relapse] despite the presence of any advanced Portable Equipment wid him + entourage.

THE OSAMA I REMEMBER FROM THE 1980's AFGHAN WAR WOULD KNOW ENOUGH TO KEEP MOVING AROUND + NOT STAY IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG, + TO DO SO WID OR WIDOUT PAK MIL SECURITY.

At some point in time, Osama's health probs forced him to stop???
