New revelations on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden reveals that the seal raiders met with a false door and found a small arsenal of weapons including an AK-47 assault rifle in the bedroom of Osama bin Laden.
As the Navy SEALs have been debriefed on their mission to al-Qaida leader dead, the White House was forced to correct the details of what happened during the compound Sunday to Ben Laden Abbottabad raid.
Despite the changes in the version of the White House for what has happened during the raid of 40 minutes on Ben Laden sprawling mansion million dollar, officials were repentant measures of seals.
"These guys are American heroes." They were told to kill bin Laden. We had the authority to kill bin Laden since the September 11 attacks. "And this is exactly what they have done," a U.S. official told ABC News.
Seals were already in a stronger position and aggressive, but which was exacerbated when one of the first doors that they were trying to open has proved to be a false door. The door hard off, false put military members in a position to suspect that the House would complete these sections, perhaps with deadly traps. The seals were a dog specially trained with them on the raid which could sniff out bombs and see if the rooms were mad trapped.
Watch "KILL SHOT: the story behind the death of Osama bin LADEN," special "20/20" Friday at 10 p.m. (et).
The Americans have also drawn on a man who was one of the smugglers of confidence of Osama bin Laden, the officials said. Mail was killed by gunfire of return of seals, and they have not met with additional shots.
This shooting early indicated for seals that they could expect greater resistance. And they found a small arsenal of weapons at home.
"We recovered three AK-47 and two pistols in the compound.". They were not assault a PTA meeting. "They were assault in fortress Osama bin Laden's hiding," said the same official U.S.. At least an AK-47 was found in the room of Osama bin Laden.
As the seals worked their way through the House, they were linked by a network of radio stations. In Afghanistan, they were followed by Vice Admiral William McRaven, the officer in charge of the mission.
As the team moved to floor to floor of the compound, verification of closets and under beds, they would yell "clear" to consider a safe room.
McRaven relayed this information to the Panetta, who was to keep Obama and his team of national security aware of the mission took place in the White House Situation Room.
All the equipment which seals have been in and out of the sprawling compound of bin Laden in Abbottabad, the only thing that they did not have was a tape measure to help identify terrorists. A seal was forced to sleep next to the corpse of bin Laden, bringing its height, sources said ABC News.
When the stealth helicopter took off with the body of bin Laden, his 29-year-old woman and her three children were left. Wife of Osama bin Laden, charged in the US forces and was wounded in the leg during the raid. Her 13-year-old daughter saw the death of his father. The two are now in the custody of Pakistani intelligence officials.
Pakistani officials put in doubt the legality of the raid today. Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the joint staff, was not asked Pakistani officials to raid up to two hours after its completion, officials said ABC News.
Responsible for Pakistani intelligence are not to be talk of U.S. investigators to bin Laden wife and daughter for the moment. The authorities American want to know who has visited composed of Osama bin Laden, where the family lived before and aisles and of of Osama bin Laden's right hand man and the second in command of al-Qaeda, Ayman al Zawahiri.
While the fresh details of the raid continued to spill, the President has completed all thought that he could release pictures of the corpse of Osama bin Laden.
