The full story of the night Bin Laden was killed, as told by those in the crosshairs.

Update #2: OBL's wives' version -- DAWN

My Comment: We have always heard the SEALs team version of what happened when they raided Bin Laden's hideout .... never from the surviving members of Bin Laden's family. This is their version .... and is a must read. Bottom line .... according to the wives version Bin Laden had no interest in surrendering.
