Update: GE E KIA Geronimo Enemy Killed in Action
The operation ended with the simple message GE E KIA
Believed to be hideout of Osama bin Laden
“If you murder 3,000 of our people, we will find you and we will kill you.” The people of the U.S.
Update: Osama was asked to surrender and declined. He tried to resist but was shot in the chest and then the face. 25 special forces, mostly Navy Seals, invaded the compound. Osama bin Laden was killed 25 minutes into the raid. The entire raid took 40 minutes. Al Jazeera is claiming the wife shielded Osama with her body but our Intel says she told the forces it was bin Laden and she was then used as a human shield. Osama’s son and two couriers, and that same wife were killed. The compound had been built with Osama’s money in all likelihood and cost over a million dollars. There was no electronics on the site. Pakistan authorities had to know he lived there. There were three families living there, two were the couriers and the other was said to be an older man who did not have to work and was given great respect, which was a cue to Americans that it was Osama bin Laden. Osama made a tape shortly before his death with the same old tired message. His supporters will rush to promote it. USA Today
