Death of Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am PKT〔 (20:00 UTC, May 1) by United States Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six). The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a Central Intelligence Agency-led operation. In addition to DEVGRU, participating units included the U.S. Army Special Operations Command's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and CIA operatives.〔〔 The raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was launched from Afghanistan.〔 U.S. military officials said that after the raid, U.S. forces took bin Laden's body to Afghanistan for identification, then buried him at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic tradition.〔 According to a Pakistani official, the United States had direct evidence that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha, knew of bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing.〔 Other Pakistani militant groups, including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, also vowed retaliation against the U.S. and against Pakistan for not preventing the operation.〔Varun Vira and Anthony Cordesman, "(Pakistan: Violence versus Stability )", Center for Strategic and International Studies, July 25, 2011.〕 The raid was supported by over 90% of the American public, was welcomed by the United Nations, NATO, the European Union, and a large number of governments,〔 but was condemned by others, including two-thirds of the Pakistani public.〔(Pakistanis Criticize U.S. Action That Killed Osama Bin Laden ) Gallup. 18 May 2011,〕 Legal and ethical aspects of the killing, such as his not being taken alive despite being unarmed, were questioned by others, including Amnesty International.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/questions-around-operation-against-osama-bin-laden-2011-05-04 )〕 Also controversial was the decision to not release any photographic or DNA evidence of bin Laden's death to the public. The Pakistani Abbottabad Commission Report was leaked to Al Jazeera on July 8, 2013.
In May 2015, Seymour Hersh claimed that the official U.S. government's account of the bin Laden killing had been a lie, and that bin Laden had in fact been captured in 2006 by the Pakistani ISI, who were keeping him under house arrest, and later secretly helped the U.S. to arrange his killing.
==Locating bin Laden==
Accounts of how Bin Laden was located by U.S. intelligence differ. The White House and CIA director John Brennan stated that the process began with a fragment of information unearthed in 2002, resulting in years of consequent investigation. This account states that by September 2010, these leads followed a courier to the Abbottabad urban compound, where the U.S. began intensive multiplatform surveillance. According to journalist Seymour Hersh and NBC News, however, the U.S. was tipped off about Bin Laden's location when a Pakistani intelligence officer offered details of where the Pakistani Intelligence Service held him in detention in exchange for a bounty.
