Moderators John317 Posted May 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2011 Osama bin Laden hid behind his wife during US forces raid: White House Press Trust of India, Updated: May 03, 2011 07:53 IST Washington: Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who ordered several terror attacks, used a woman, believed to his wife, as a shield when US special forces raided the one million dollar house in Pakistan's Abbottabad where he was hiding, the White House has said. "Thinking about that from a visual perspective, here is bin Laden, who has been calling for these attacks, living in this million-dollar-plus compound, living in an area that is far removed from the front, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield," Deputy National Security Advisor for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security John Brennan told reporters at the White House. "I think it really just speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the years." "And so, again, looking at what bin Laden was doing hiding there while he's putting other people out there to carry out attacks again just speaks to, I think, the nature of the individual he was," Brennan said. Besides, bin Laden, the two Al Qaeda facilitators - who were the courier, his son Khalid and a woman presumed to be his wife, who was shielding bin Laden, died in yesterday's pre-dawn operations. "She served as a shield; again, this is my understanding. And we're still getting the reports of exactly what happened at particular moments. "She fought back when there was an opportunity to get to bin Laden; she was positioned in a way that indicated that she was being used as a shield, whether or not bin Laden or the son or whatever put her there or she put herself there," the White House official said. "That's again my understanding, that she met her demise, and my understanding is that she was one of bin Laden's wives," he added.

Moderators John317 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2011 And he had a lot, didn't he? I guess he had a quite a few kids too. But are you surprised that bin Laden would hide behind a woman? Most men would think first of protecting their wife (or any of their wives) but evidently not bin Laden. He has been asking women to blow themselves up all these years, so i guess we shouldn't be too suprised.

aldona Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Bin Laden used his wife as a human shield. The US Special Forces shot and killed a woman who was being used as a human shield. Neither of these are actions to be proud of. Just saying.

Moderators lazarus Posted May 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2011 Osama bin Laden did not use one of his four wives as a human shield in his dying moments, contrary to earlier reports, as White House officials began to "clarify" early accounts of Monday's commando raids by US special forces. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...man-shield.html Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Members phkrause Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 I believe if I'm not mistaken and like Lazarus mentioned, it was just a woman that was there and not one of his wife's. And its not the point anyway. Just hiding behind someone else, just shows how big a man he really was. And to think he had all those women waiting for him and he didn't want to go. I guess its just there subordinates that believe that!!!! Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
