U.S. To Keep Bin Laden Photos Secret

HeadlineSep 27, 2011

Papers filed late Monday night reveal the Obama administration is refusing to release photos and videos of a dead Osama Bin Laden following a Navy SEAL raid in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad in May of this year. According to CIA National Clandestine Service Director John Bennett, the intelligence agency has 52 photos and/or video recordings of the slain Al Qaeda leader. The imagery is reportedly classified as top secret and the Obama administration says its release would reveal military and intelligence secrets and could lead to violence against U.S. personnel.
