Osama bin Laden compound videos to be made public

Home movies of the al-Qaida leader in Abbottabad among the material seized following US raid

The US military released video of slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden channel surfing on a small TV at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Man that's so fake!

"I've seen the picture, he's definitely dead and if there's any conspiracy theories out there you should put them to rest."

Such confidence left Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown eating a hearty helping of crow. What Brown actually saw was a fake picture of Osama bin Laden's corpse. It's a 'gotcha' that's left a total of three U.S. senators clamoring for an explanation.

Pakistan PM Warns of 'Full Force' Response to Future U.S. Raids

Published May 09, 2011

Pakistan's prime minister warned the United States Monday that his country could respond to any future U.S. raids on its soil with "full force," in the latest escalation of rhetoric in the wake of Usama bin Laden's death.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, like other officials in Islamabad, said the killing of bin Laden in northern Pakistan was a positive step. But, reflecting concerns that the unilateral strike violated his country's sovereignty, Gilani sent a clear message to the United States. He warned any "overt or covert" attack would be met with a "matching response" in the future.

Some US lawmakers to view bin Laden body photos

(AP) – 2 hours ago

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland (AP) — Some members of Congress will be allowed to view photographs of Osama bin Laden's body, a spokeswoman for a Maryland congressman said Wednesday.

Heather Molino, a spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, said the Democratic congressman is planning to view the photos at CIA headquarters either Wednesday or Thursday.

"He is interested and wants to see them," Molino said.

Ruppersberger is a member of the House Intelligence Committee. All of that committee's members are among the congressional representatives who have been offered a chance to view the photographs, Molino said.

Last week, Ruppersberger said he agreed with the White House's decision not to publicly release photos of bin Laden's body. Ruppersberger, who spoke at a retirement community on Friday about the raid in Pakistan that resulted in bin Laden's death, said the photos could stoke anger among bin Laden supporters.

"Why enrage the rest of the world who don't like us? And we don't want them to rally behind his death to hurt us again," Ruppersberger said last week.

Ruppersberger noted that the decision not to release the photographs publicly could be re-evaluated "down the road."

"The purpose is, it's endgame, to protect American lives," Ruppersberger said.

More lawmakers want photos of bin Laden's body released

Washington (CNN) -- Two U.S. lawmakers joined the call Thursday for the release of photos of Osama bin Laden's body, after seeing the images themselves.

"These are very graphic, gruesome pictures," said Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado. But seeing them "gave me a sense of finality and closure."

Members of Senate and House committees that deal with intelligence and military matters have been invited to see the photos. Some of his colleagues had declined the offer, Lamborn said. He did not name those lawmakers.

He, Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California saw the photos on Thursday at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

Pakistan's parliament condemns U.S. raid, threatens sanctions

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiap ... en/?hpt=T2

From the CNN Wire Staff
May 14, 2011

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's parliament threatened Saturday to cut off access to a facility used by NATO forces to ferry troops into Afghanistan, signaling a growing rift that began when U.S. commandos killed Osama bin Laden during a raid on a Pakistani compound.

A resolution adopted during a joint session of parliament condemned the U.S. action. It also called for a review of its working agreement with the U.S., demanded an independent investigation and ordered the immediate end of drone attacks along its border region.

Failure to end unilateral U.S. raids and drone attacks will force Pakistan to "to consider taking necessary steps, including withdrawal of (the) transit facility" used by the NATO's International Security Assistance Force, according to the resolution.

U.S. lawmakers have questioned how the world's most wanted terrorist managed to live in plain sight for years in Pakistan -- near the country's elite military academy -- without being detected.

Rift with Pakistan over commando raid appears to deepen
Its Parliament demands halt to drone strikes

New York Times / May 15, 2011

WASHINGTON — The United States and Pakistan are veering toward a deepening clash, with Pakistan’s Parliament demanding a permanent halt to all drone strikes just as the most senior US envoy since the killing of Osama bin Laden is to arrive with a stern message that the country has only months to show it is truly committed to rooting out the remnants of Al Qaeda and associated groups. The United States has increased drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the past 10 days in an effort to exploit the uncertainty and disarray among militant ranks following bin Laden’s death on May 2.

Nato attacks Pakistani army post

http://www.news24.com/World/News/Nato-a ... t-20110517

Dera Ismail Khan - A Nato helicopter attacked a Pakistani army post near the Afghan border on Tuesday, injuring two soldiers in an incident that could further increase tensions following the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden, Pakistani officials said.

Nato coalition spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel John Dorrian confirmed there were helicopters flying near the Pakistani border and that there was "an incident". The alliance was investigating, he said.

A Western military official said the incident started before dawn, when a Nato base in Afghanistan received intermittent direct and indirect fire from the Pakistani side of the border.
