2012-09-09来源:互联网

When Osama Bin Laden was killed, we all remembered the photograph that we saw at the White House. Well, tonight in an incendiary move a Navy Seal has written a book about that mission. What does he say about some of the White House said at the time?Here’s ABC chief investigator correspondent Brian Ross.

The first details provided by the White House and the Military to ABC News and others described the scene in which Bin Laden was confronted by the Navy Seals in his bedroom,his youngest wife by his side,making a move interpreted as resistance and then shot in the chest and above the left eye.

“And indeed he did resist.”

But that's not true according to the new book,by one of the Navy Seals writing under the name Mark Owen. He says Bin Laden was shot in the side of the head as he peered out his bedroom door.

According to book excerpts seen by US officials, Owen writes that Seals found Bin Laden twitching(痉挛) and convulsing(惊厥) after he was shot with his wives wailing(痛哭) over his body. He and another Seal“Trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless. Two weapons were found in the room, but they were not loaded according to the account. He had no intention of fighting.”Owen reportedly wrote.

“Since there was no camera running up the stairs with the Seals,we’ll never know what actually happened.”

One other note from the book, was one helicopter down. The flight back to the base was so crowded. One Navy Seal actually sat on the chest of the dead Bin Laden.

President Obama honored and praised the courage of the Seal Team after the raid. “Job well done. Job well done.”

Although the author reportedly wrote:“None of us were huge fans of Obama. We respected him as the commander in chief of the military and for giving us the green light on the mission.”

But Brian, Seals have a code of protecting their secrecy, why is he doing this?

Well, he wrote this book without the advanced approval of the Pentagon and they’re now reviewing as it seemed as he reveals the secrets that could help understand how the Seals do their very dangerous jobs, it could be very controversial.
