Osama Bin Laden was not armed when U.S. special forces raided the residential complex of Abbottabad. Jay Carney has made clear, White House spokesman, during his appearance this afternoon before the media. Why did they kill the leader of Al Qaeda, then, instead of stopping it? "He resisted. The U.S. personnel in the field are handled with the utmost professionalism and was killed in the operation by restencia dogged," said Carney.
"The resistance does not require a firearm," he added. The spokesman described, reading a statement, how special forces killed two messengers in the service of Bin Laden, along with a woman who reached the shooting. In the room of a terrorist, one of his wives intervened and was shot but not killed.
Then, the terrorist was killed by agents. "U.S. personnel in the field are handled with the utmost professionalism and was killed in the operation by restencia dogged," said Carney. About the decision not to inform Pakistan of the mission, Carney stressed that this country has been of great help in the fight against Al Qaeda.
And on the photographs of Bin Laden dead, the spokesman justified still have not seen the light because their publication could be "inflammatory." The image of the corpse of Bin Laden is "appalling", according to Carney. The death of Jerome "Geronimo EKIA." With this brief statement, the CIA director, Leon Panetta, announced Monday the death of Bin Laden.
A few seconds after hearing the code name for the principal purpose of U.S. intelligence since the 11-S followed by the acronym of "enemy killed in action" (Enemy Killed in action), Barack Obama, meeting with advisers in crisis room of the White House, spoke at last: "I have." A member of the elite command of the Navy SEAL pulled a photograph of the body of the tall, bearded man, and sent it to analysts who, through facial recognition software, they determined that there was a 95% chance that they were Bin Laden.
One of the wives of al Qaeda also identified the body, according to The New York Times, although the crucial confirmation came later after comparing DNA samples from family members, yielding a 99.9% certainty. The beginning of the operation that ended eight months of work and years of gathering a recipe for disaster.
Two dozen commands the elite unit of the Navy SEALs had to climb down two Black Hawk helicopters at dawn on Monday in a fortified complex in the city of Abbottabad, 60 miles north of Islamabad, where Bin Laden was hiding from five or six years ago, as confirmed today by John Brennan, chief security adviser at the White House.
But one of the aircraft suffered a mechanical failure and fell, its tail entangled in a wall of 3.5 meters. The details of the American press differ on where the unit fell and if the target was lowered into the military or outside the residential complex, as related in The Washington Post.
According to this newspaper, the accident forced the soldiers aboard the Black Hawk damaged, they should have started the operation from outside, had to struggle to hide from the men of terror inside the fortified courtyard. At the other end of the world, the war council gathered in the room gasped crisis, as told Brennan.
No one wanted another Black Hawk Down as occurred in Somalia in 1993, one of the recurring nightmares in all previous meetings to decide how to conduct the operation. A third helicopter, a Chinook, was sent for emergency support. Finally, the paper's Washington, the seals that are taken down off campus joined those who fell within, and exchanging fire advanced.
From the room crisis, the U.S. president and his team continued to live the advance by the resort's main building, room by room, floor by floor, most of the time in silence. Obama's face looked "stone" as a helper. The vice president, Joe Biden, spent the rosary beads. On one screen, the CIA director told from the agency's headquarters, across the Potomac River, what was happening in Pakistan.
"The minutes passed like days," he told Brennan. "It was probably one of the periods of heightened anxiety, I think, in the lives of all we were together," described the principal security adviser for the White House. Weeks of training command had flown to Pakistan during the night from a base in Jalalabad, in neighboring Afghanistan.
The aim was to enter and leave the country before the Pakistani authorities even detected the incursion of what for them would mean unknown forces, and could react and cause a possible violent clash. Team members had trained for weeks and practiced daily in a precise replica of the residential complex known as the walls and exterior features, as well as potential occupants that could be found, reports The Washington Post.
According to The New York Times, trainings were conducted in replicates raised on both U.S. coasts, although initially no seals were informed of what the precise objective. The tests covered a wide range of scenarios, including the possibility that Bin Laden tried to surrender, so the seals also practiced the method to stop it, according to a military source was quoted as saying.
Using commands in Arabic, the team had to give the terrorist the opportunity to surrender and open fire only if he resisted, as eventually happened. Black Hawk's Abbottabad arrived just after midnight Monday. Although they had the element of surprise, soon to lose altitude helicopters, neighbors heard a loud explosion and gunfire.
The scandal was such that a local resident reported the events live on Twitter. Once inside the main building, each room commands methodically combed up to the upper floors, where they hoped to find bin Laden, while the White House attended the talks through secure lines. After killing two men and a woman, and about half an hour after landing, the seals found Bin Laden on the third floor, dressed in tunic and baggy trousers traditional area.
"We have visual contact with Geronimo," he said via video Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, gathered in the crisis room of the White House, using the code name for the leader of Al Qaeda, the head of the historic of Apache Indians. And minutes later, the expected words: "Geronimo EKIA." Enemy killed in action.
It has not transcended if exchanged a word, or what exactly the resistance was quoted White House. Yes, the most wanted terrorist leader received at least one shot in the head and several in the chest. A shot over his left eye blew off part of the skull, according to the pictures described by sources of AP, and died instantly.
Before heading to the set point of collection, the seals blew the helicopter crashed. In the room left 23 children and nine women, according to AP, but according to an official Pakistani custody have only nine children aged between two and 12 years. To the 1.10 local time, the commands were uploaded to the other Black Hawk and Chinook sent as reinforcements and flew back to Afghanistan, with the corpse of the leader of Al Qaeda and supplies and other found in the house.
Only after leaving Pakistani airspace, Obama telephoned the president, Asif Ali Zardari, to inform the operation that had taken place, according to The Washington Post. Three options to reach this military success, Obama had to choose the riskiest option among the three raised by team: an assault by U.S.
commandos in helicopters, an attack with B-2 bombers, or a joint venture with the intelligence services Pakistanis, who would be informed just hours before the operation. The second option was eventually discarded when after a military analysis concluded that it would take about 32 bombs of 900 kg each to blow up the complex.
In addition, as described by an intelligence source, "would have created a giant crater, and we have provided no body, so it would be physically impossible to confirm the death of Bin Laden. Until earlier this year, the Obama team did not have some certainty that bin Laden was hiding in the fortified complex of Abbottabad, despite suspected since last summer, when monitoring the trusted messenger of al Qaeda led to that building.
"The latest information we have is that the complex was in the last five or six years and had virtually no interaction with others outside. But it seemed to be very active in the complex," explained today on the CBS maximum security adviser Obama. "We know that record video and audio. We know he was in contact with some senior members of Al Qaeda," he added.
"We're trying to understand what has been involved in recent years, exploit any information we are able to obtain the compound and use it to continue our efforts to destroy Al Qaeda," he concluded. Strict monitoring operation early Monday culminates a decade of work of intelligence agencies, which for years has been flying blind.
The White House has pointed out through his spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday that after years of searching, the U.S. has realized that the terrorist organization prefers "populated areas" to "caves or small towns, as I thought when you started the fight against the organization. The interrogation of detainees in secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe provided the code name for the trusted messenger of al Qaeda, identified today as the Kuwaiti Abu Ahmad, whose track record led to Abbotabad.
Confidence that they had located the hiding place of bin Laden grew a lot, according to The Washington Post, after conducting a very comprehensive surveillance that U.S. intelligence came to know the daily rhythms and the identities of residents. The analysts concluded that the complex was built to hide "someone of importance." "He was hiding in plain sight," Brennan described.
To confirm that it was the hiding of his enemy number one, U.S. intelligence used during last fall's spy satellites that took photographs and intercepted communications, hard work and that the residence had no phone line or Internet access. The inhabitants of the complex were so concerned about security as they burned the trash instead of leaving it in the street.
Some in the CIA feared that Bin Laden's bodyguards detected on the complex monitoring and fly the most promising track in years. On Sunday, the White House canceled all visits to the West Wing, to prevent tourists and visiting celebrities is accidentally found one of the national security officials who had high levels throughout the afternoon holed up in the crisis room.
At 1405 local time, Panetta, last reviewed the scheme of the operation. Within an hour, the director of the CIA began to narrate what was happening, via videoconference from Langley. "They have come to Pakistan."
