U.S. Considers Releasing bin Laden Photos

Just to make sure that everyone knows that Osama bin Laden is well and truly dead, the White House could release photographic confirmation.

The White House might release photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse to dispel any notion that the al-Qaeda leader is still alive. U.S. officials said they have photographs proving bin Laden was shot once above his left eye and once in his chest. Ever since bin Laden was shot by U.S. special forces at a compound in Pakistan before being buried surreptitiously at sea, rumours have reportedly spread around Pakistan saying that the terrorist leader is still alive. The White House also confirmed that during the raid, they uncovered hard drives and documents that intelligence officials think could lead them to other members of the al-Qaeda network.
