U.S. President Barack Obama has decided against the release of photos of Osama bin Laden’s body as evidence of his death, CNN quoted an administration official as saying on Wednesday.
CIA chief Leon Panetta said earlier on Tuesday the agency would publish photos of bin Laden killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan earlier in the week. His body was buried at sea less than 24 hours after the operation.
U.S. Navy SEALs shot bin Laden in a complex in Pakistan during a special operation.
A DNA test proved that the corpse of the dead man belonged to bin Laden, who has topped the FBI’s most wanted list for the past decade.
