No release of Bin Laden death pic
2011-05-04
Barack Obama, the US president, has told an American news channel that he decided not to release photos showing the body of Osama Bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, after he was killed by US commandos.

Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, said Obama had consulted members of his national security team before taking his decision.

Carney said that in the interview with CBS, Obama had stressed it was important to keep photographic evidence from "floating around as incitement or propaganda tool".

"That is not who we are. We don't trot this stuff out as trophies," Obama was quoted as saying in the interview for the channel's "60 Minutes" programme. "There is no doubt that we killed Osama bin Laden. You will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again," the president said.
