The information about the attack of the elite U.S. military that ended with the death of Osama Bin Laden evolves day by day as different sources are providing new details. If the first day saw a fierce gun battle between the followers of terrorist leader SEAL and U.S. soldiers, the following has been said that Bin Laden was not armed, and today, as published by The New York Times, it was a operation in which the overwhelming superiority of elite American soldiers gave no option to Bin Laden's bodyguards, which maintained that he was unarmed at the time of his death, but with the difference that was handy rifle assault.
According to new details today spreads The New York Times, citing Administration sources, assault, though bloody and chaotic, as evidenced by the three images of the three deaths, was "extremely tilted to one side, with a force more than 20 members of the SEAL who quickly dispatched a handful of men who protected the world's most wanted terrorist.
According to these sources, American soldiers received enemy fire only at the beginning of the assault, when the messenger of bin Laden, Abu Ahmed Al Kuwaiti, opened fire from behind the door of the guest house adjacent to the main house, in which Bin Laden was. After the commandos shot dead Al Kuwaiti and a woman in the guest house, not again be fired.
Already on the second floor, the soldiers found Bin Laden and shot him. If the first version, said the leader of Al Qaeda "was involved in the shooting, and yesterday it was learned that he was unarmed, although White House spokesman, Jim Carney, said that the fact that Bin Laden was unarmed not affect the status of that offer resistance, because "there are other modes of resistance than to wield a weapon." In the latest version, despite maintaining that he was unarmed, he says his reach an assault rifle AK-47 and a Makarov pistol.
Thus the soldiers killed him. After reaching the main house, they saw the e-brother of bin Laden, and thought he was developing a weapon, so he shot down. Then, as they rose to the top floor, killed the brother of bin Laden, Khalid, who attacked the soldiers. Upon arriving upstairs, entered a room and saw Bin Laden, who was to hand an AK-47 and a Makarov pistol.
He was shot and killed him and wounding a woman who was with him. That ended the shooting. Now, the soldiers inspected the house and found lots of information and have time to be with her: about 100 memory sticks, DVDs and computer disks as well as 10 hard drives and five computers. There were also piles of paper documents.

Speaking at the public broadcaster PBS, Leon Panetta, director of the CIA. Said on Tuesday that "there was some shooting while our boys were on their way to the first floor of the complex." The latest version supports only on the first floor of the house was dead, and not many.
According to sources consulted by The New York Times, the story of the assault has changed because it has had time to analyze the reports of the SEAL team that carried out the attack.
