Earlier Post: ABC Reports Weapons Seized at Osama bin Laden Compound
Finally, someone reports on whether weapons were seized from the compound in Abbottabad where Osama bin Laden and others were killed. Via ABC News:
In addition to the digital media and paper documents, the Navy SEALs also took guns and a number of other items from the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound. Those guns have been checked for fingerprints, which will be run through a huge intelligence database that culls fingerprints from terrorist safe houses and the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.
But
MSNBC says:
3 of 4 men killed in assault on bin Laden compound were unarmed, never fired shot, officials tell NBC News
And
CBS says:
When Navy SEALs tried to burst through a door at Osama bin Laden's compound, they found a brick wall behind it and had to blast their way through it. On the first floor they found two couriers and a woman, all of whom were killed in a hail of gunfire
...Bin Laden was unarmed but the SEALs later found a pistol and an AK-47 in the room.
ABC says DNA was also extracted from the dead and wounded:
DNA evidence was taken from some of the killed and wounded who were guarding bin Laden.
"We want to know who has been there and where else they may have been," one official said.
