متحدث بإسم البيت الأبيض: أسامة لم يكن مسلحا و لم يختف خلف أمرأة!

Quote: White House spokesman Jay Carney, relying on a written narrative from the Department of Defence to set the record straight, said: - Bin Laden was not armed when he was shot. - One of his wives was shot in the leg, not killed as originally reported. - Bin Laden did not use her as a shield before he was shot. She rushed at a US attacker but wasn't armed. - Two helicopters were used in the raid. - The raid lasted 40 minutes. - US forces were operating under a "capture or kill" order for bin Laden, not "shoot-to-kill". "In the room with bin Laden, a woman - bin Laden's wife - rushed the US assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed," Carney said. "Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed." Carney said bin Laden resisted capture, but he declined to specify how. He said "resistance does not require a firearm" and that others in the compound were armed and there was a firefight.
