Now THERE is some useful info! Thanks, HRMG! Been watching various news stations since I got home and nobody mentioned that little detail. Makes sense.
By Islamic religion, the body must be buried within 24 hours of death and must be returned to the family. Since the parents live in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia wanted NOTHING to do with Bin Laden's body, it was buried at sea within 24 hours after death. They ran a DNA test to confirm his identity.

Seems very quick to despose of body right away.

Just woke to news that "Bin Laden" was killed last night in Pakistan. Then I saw they claimed to have dumped his body
at sea. I can hear the conspiracy theories already. Pictures can be faked so it will be interesting to see how they prove it.
