SEAL Helmet Cams Recorded Entire Bin Laden Raid

CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs.

Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened. We now know that the only firefight took place in the guest house, where one of bin Laden’s couriers opened fire and was quickly gunned down. No one in the main building got off a shot or was even armed, although there were weapons nearby.

The SEALs first saw bin Laden when he came out on the third floor landing. They fired, but missed. He retreated to his bedroom, and the first SEAL through the door grabbed bin Laden’s daughters and pulled them aside.

When the second SEAL entered, bin Laden’s wife rushed forward at him — or perhaps was pushed by bin Laden. The SEAL shoved her aside and shot bin Laden in the chest. A third seal shot him in the head.

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee went to CIA headquarters Thursday to view photos the SEALs took of bin Laden’s body.

“There were probably about maybe four, five or six photos,” said Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md. “There are just a couple body shots. He was like, in a white undershirt and a tan robe.”

The electronic files the SEALs carted away from bin Laden’s compound contain — among many things — the names of terrorist operatives which until now were unknown to U.S. intelligence. The files also contain a small, 12-page journal of bin Laden’s handwritten notes about launching a major attack against the United States. He instructed against using Arabs because they arouse too much suspicion, to go after trains and to time the attack to coincide with the 10th anniversary of September 11.

There are also messages to his senior lieutenants and to al Qaeda affiliates, urging them not to waste time on small, local operations and focus their efforts on the United States.

Ruppersberger said, “He kept all that information and he kept all of the data, computers, hard drives and this is what we’re analyzing and it shows that his focus was clearly the United States.”

U.S. officials cannot understand why bin Laden apparently left what amounts to the keys to his terrorist kingdom just lying around his compound in plain sight — none of it rigged for self destruction.The killing of Osama bin Laden

Why didn’t bin Laden protect his files? The best guess is he thought the United States would never find him.

  1. oyoyoy!! what happened to matzav?? this was the one website i was able to turn to to guard my eyes from untzneisdike pictures!! i guess that’s it for the internet for me…

  2. Its like the russians. Throughout the cold we thought ‘who knows what’ about them, but then they crumbles, we see they were far less than we (or they) made them out to be. OBL too, although dangerous, was just another shmatte head, without any secret bunker, and without any great security. I think we made him bigger than he really was. (I’m not saying that he wasn’t dangerous. He was, and its good we nailed him. Just saying that he was not as sophisticated as we thought him to be. )

  3. To “utterly shocked”

    I cant tell if your serious or not, but here is my two cents: Obviously Matzav put the picture with Hillary just to make a statement. However, I 100% agree with their opinion. The extent to which many Frum media outlets have gone to remove any trace of a women from their content, even little girls and older women, has turned off many frum people who are not as far to the right. To smudge a picture of a cartoon of a 3 year old “maidel” seems more perverted than “Frum” to many people on the outside.

  4. surely this was a mistake… the matzav editor would never allow such a picture to go through… this website must’ve been hacked.

  5. maybe someone can explain to me why all these pictures are needed for in the first place? I mean, what exactly do we learn from this picture about the story that we don’t already know from the news article itself?
