After the euphoria that followed the initial announcement of the death of Bin Laden, the White House has begun to change his speech about what exactly happened during the assault on the compound where Bin Laden was hiding. BBC News looks at five loose ends on that operation.
The information initially offered the White House, in an effort to defend himself, Osama bin Laden had been shielded behind his young wife, forcing her to sacrifice his life, offered a good title to newspapers around the world.
The White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said Tuesday that information was wrong. Also initially said that Osama bin Laden had died of a gunshot to the head while resisting with an automatic weapon to the troops who carried out the operation.
But Jay Carney denied this version of events stating that he was not armed. "With Bin Laden, in his room, a woman, the wife, she ran to one of the officers attackers and was shot in the leg but not killed. He was not armed, "he said, and also clarified that the passenger was armed.
If he was not armed and apparently there was little resistance, was a deliberate operation to kill him? Jay Carney's response is that "Bin Laden did not have to be armed to resist. There was concern that bin Laden would resist capture and indeed resisted. "
But Carney did not elaborate on what kind of resistance there, and if there was no why just do not get caught for submission to due process. According to a Pakistani intelligence official, there were 18 people in the complex where Osama lived, including a daughter who they say saw his father die.
The White House has said only that two messengers and a woman were killed in the attack, and not commenting on anyone caught. Nor has it said what happened to the bodies of the other dead. President Barack Obama said: "Our cooperation with Pakistan led us to Bin Laden and to the resort where he was hiding."
But that seems to contradict what was later said that Pakistani authorities were unaware of the operation. The CIA director, Leon Pannetta, said that was not shared any information with Islamabad for fear they would risk attack.
Secret Identity

The Pakistani army entered the hall one hour after the attack and, along with four bullet-riddled bodies found 16 people handcuffed with plastic ties.
Of these, nine were children between 2 and 12 years and three women, as reported by local media. Group, three children and four were children of the owners of the house, and Tariq Arshad, respectively, so that the other two were sons of bin Laden, including the daughter of 12 years. It is she who has told the local press that his father was captured and executed.
Of the two women, one is the last wife of the leader of Al Qaeda, Abdulfattah Amal Ahmed, born in Yemen in 1982. Was shot in the leg, it seems after filing to protect bin Laden. It is assumed that the other woman could be Bin Laden's personal physician, who was suffering kidney pains. After the operation, the U.S. military flew into Afghanistan. They could be relatives of the terrorist leader because they did not have enough places in the helicopter (the other device the operation was shot down during the attack), according to local media reports.
All children are "safe and being cared for in accordance with the law", as reported by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry in a statement. "Some have needed medical care and are being treated in the best possible facilities. Will be delivered to their home countries. "
