Osama Bin Laden's son killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan raid | Gruesome death photos released

Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was raided by the U.S. Navy SEALs early morning on May 2 which killed the most wanted terrorist in the world. During the assault in the $250,000 three-story mansion in Abbottabad, the U.S. forces did not only fatally shot the terrorist leader but also left four (4) other people dead, according to reports. Among those who were killed in the raid were a man described as bin Laden's courier and the courier's brother, one of bin Laden's wives and one of his sons.

U.S. President Barack Obama has decided not to release the death photo of Osama bin Laden since it's too graphic saying in a CBS interview that "it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think-- Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic nature of thesephotos, it would create some national security risk. And I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree."

This means that the world will not be able to see Osama bin Laden's death photos. However, Reuters was able to take hold of 3 gruesome death pictures of the 3 men who were killed in the operation which reportedly include bin Laden's son, Khalid. Courtesy of MailOnline and Reuters, here are the said photos which were made pixelated since they are too graphic.

Meanwhile, check out below an excerpt of the CBS interview of President Obama:

STEVE KROFT: Did you see the pictures?

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Yes.

KROFT: What was your reaction when you saw them?

OBAMA: It was him.

KROFT: Why haven't you released them?

OBAMA: You know, we discussed this internally. Keep in mind that we are absolutely certain this was him. We've done DNA sampling and testing. And so there is no doubt that we killed Osama bin Laden. It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think-- Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk. And I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree.

KROFT: There are people in Pakistan, for example, who say, "Look, this is all a lie. Obama, this is another American trick. Osama's not dead."

OBAMA: You know, the truth is that and we -- we're monitoring worldwide reaction. There's no doubt that Bin Laden is dead. Certainly there's no doubt among al Qaeda members that he is dead. And so we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference. There are going be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again.
