A controversial new account of the killing of Osama bin Laden has challenged the official story of the how the al-Qaeda leader died during the raid on his Pakistani hideout in May.

My Comment: The idea that Bin Laden and a few others can hold off a crack SEAL team for a long period of time does not make sense to me. A gunfight lasting a few minutes makes sense .... but 45 minutes .... no way. My prediction .... a few years from now (maybe 10, 20 or more) is when the true account of what happened will be published as well as the photos and videos made of this successful operation. In the meantime .... we just have speculation, rumors, hearsay, and theories to go on.
