Eleven days after the 2011 US elite forces raid that resulted in the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the head of US special operations ordered the destruction of all photos of the corpse or for them to be given to the CIA, new evidence shows.
The disclosure was revealed Monday in an email obtained and released by non-profit legal group Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The heavily-redacted email was sent by
Admiral William McRaven, head of US Special Operations Command, to subordinate officers on May 13, 2011, instructing them that any remaining photos of Bin Laden's body must be destroyed or handed over
to the CIA.
Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by the special operations team commonly known as Seal Team Six during Operation Neptune Spear.
In the email, addressed to
"Gentlemen," McRaven wrote,
"One particular item that I want to emphasize is photos; particularly UBLs [Usama Bin Laden, as US military referred to him] remains. At this point - all photos should have been turned over to the CIA; if you still have them destroy them immediately or get them to the [redacted]."The order to purge the photos came
11 days after the conservative government transparency organization
Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request with the Defense Department seeking
"all photographs and/or video recordings of Usama Bin Laden taken during and/or after the U.S. military operation in Pakistan on or about May 1, 2011."
Comment: The "destroy the photos of the remains immediately" email is a smoking gun revealing the fact that the raid and murder of individuals unknown, had nothing whatsoever to do with "killing Bin Laden". As everyone knows, Bin Laden died of kidney disease years ago.
Still, it is jaw-dropping that such liars and frauds are in charge of governments.
