If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...
Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
Deuteronomy 5:9
"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."
William Flew Great Success
The Black Hawks evaded Pakistani air-defence radars by flying low, hugging the ground, and by using technological means to remain undetected which remain secret.
From the airbase their target in Abbottabad was 100 miles away. After the gunfire had ended the al-Qaeda leader’s body was loaded on to one of the helicopters and taken to the aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson, in the North Arabian Sea, about 1,100 miles away. Because of the distance the helicopter would most likely have flown back to Bagram, refuelled and headed for the ship. The body was delivered for burial at sea about ten hours after the mission ended in Abbottabad.
Members of Seal Team Six, a crack unit of professionals who report directly to the President and were assigned to the CIA for the mission, then collected as much information as possible from computers and documents found in the 3,000-square foot compound in Abbottabad.
Grainy video footage of the aftermath shows a bloodstained carpet at the foot of a dishevelled bed. Pillows are strewn over the mattress and other furniture is overturned. The images show broken computers stripped of their hard drives.
The Seal team used explosives to blow up their stalled helicopter — mindful of the need to avoid leaving any intelligence behind. It was a case of mission complete when the Seals boarded their aircraft and disappeared into the darkness. The time was about 1.15am on Monday, Pakistani time.Pakistani Government, reflecting intense distrust of its supposed ally. When the helicopters reached the compound the commandos descended on ropes. They would have taken bin Laden alive but he resisted and was shot in the head.
US officials said that four other people died, including one of bin Laden’s sons, the courier, and the courier’s brother.
