Islamabad: Abbottabad Commission has raised serious question in its findings over US version about its raid in Abbotabad that killed Osama bin Laden on May 2 last year, a BBC Urdu report said on Thursday.According to the report, a member of the commission has completed recording his findings based on statements from bin Laden’s family, his neighbours, and the government officials who entered the area after the raid.
Questioning the American position on the raid, the details contradict, and are different from, the version of events described by the US. The findings will also be the first official version of the events from the Pakistani side.
A major question raised in the report is the finding that only a single bullet-casing and bullet-mark was found from the room which was allegedly filled with more than half a dozen armed companions of the former al Qaeda chief.
The bullet mark was found on a wall in bin Laden’s bedroom, the same room where he was killed. The mark is so high on the wall that it appears as if the man firing bullet was on his knees. The commission’s experts have concluded that this bullet caused bin Laden’s death, and possibly hit the wall after tearing through a part of his skull.
Other than this, no other bullet-casing or bullet-marks were found from the compound. However, the commission’s members found more than a dozen Klashnikov rifles – some less than a yard away from the dead bodies, adds the report. Read More
