Obama refuses to publish photos of the remains of Bin Laden

The U.S. president, Barack Obama, said Wednesday, May 4 at the CBS television that he opposed finally posting pictures of the corpse of Osama Bin Laden because they constitute a "security risk National "and could be used for propaganda purposes. "We discussed it internally, and remember that we are absolutely certain it was him.

There have been sampling and DNA analysis. So there is no doubt that we've killed Osama Bin Laden, "Obama said, according to the website of the chain. "It is very important not to allow photographic evidence in nature as a tool of incitement (to violence) (...). It is not our kind. We do not brandish such things as trophies, "Obama said, according to the channel, which broadcast the full interview in the Sunday program" 60 Minutes ".

The issue was debated in the U.S. administration since the death of the founder of Al-Qaeda, killed by a U.S. Special Forces commando in the night from Sunday to Monday in Pakistan. Across the world, many voices were raised calling for concrete evidence. On Tuesday, the CIA director, Leon Panetta, said on NBC that discussions were underway around the president, but he added, "nobody doubted for a moment that ultimately will be shown a photograph the public.

" Jay Carney, spokesman for the presidency, for his part explained that the photo taken shortly after the death of bin Laden was "atrocious" and needed spare the "sensitivities regarding its publication. The question was whether such a publication "serves or serves [the] interests [U.S.], not only here but worldwide." Osama Bin Laden has been shot twice in the face during the attack by the Americans.

Washington ensures that DNA testing and facial recognition methods have confirmed that the body was indeed that of Osama bin Laden. He belonged to President Barack Obama in person to have the last word. On Monday, elected officials of the U.S. Congress had demanded the publication of photographs of the corpse of Bin Laden, after his DNA identification was immersed in an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.

They particularly wanted to prove to the world public that the hunt for the most wanted man in the world is finished, while followers of the conspiracy theorists have not failed to affirm that the United States had mounted this story from scratch.
