Interesting. The SEALs call it 'double tap'. In my previous life in Utumishi Kwa Wote we called it 'confirming.'

@Njunge,

Really loved that pic, especially the way Obama was watching intensly and his seat slightly away from the table indicating that it was really the Situation room and not some photo opportunity for campaign posters.

But that SEAL must have been one hell of a confident crackshot. Under such pressurized conditions where a false move means you die, for the SEAL to have hit the eye...Under such circumstances you go for the largest surface area that completely immobilizes - the chest. This guy went for the head. Now imagine the size of a head, the distance to the target and the fact that the head is moving, what a cocky SEAL.

@GG, reports indicate that the chest was hit first and then the kichwa...
What was interesting is the recruitment of these fellows, ati they are older soldiers with families...in most cases young turks are taken for such missions, but it is assumed they are prone to error..
From @Guka's pic, seeing the way HC has covered her mouth, think that is the point OBL was spotted and shot at...

I am also surprised they took a headshot, thot it was against all training, if they wanted to capture him, the conventional place is always the upper chest. This is a larger target and it punctures an artery/vein (dunno) and is supposedly very painful and will render tha arms useless, plus it will knock you back and not lead to a mortal shot.

I am of the idea that the guy should have been captured and not brutally murdered like that, even though he has murdered so many, we are in no position as human beings to take away another's life..its against God's law.

Would they have possibly gassed the guy out before pumping him with bullets? What is shocking is that Osama did not know of the raid.. He's always been a step ahead!
Either way, i am happy justice is done. Even the bible says he who lives by the sword will die by the sword (this was actually quoted by Jesus in Matthew 26:52).
That said, i liked the article by Macharia Gaitho. http://www.nation.co.ke/...st/-/ebgkxp/-/index.html
....above all, to stand.

@MsMkenya

Macharia Gaitho should have added Martha Karua, KNHCR and Paul Muite to Prof. Alston's name. Am not expecting any of them to comment on Osama death.
