Officials: Navy SEALs thought bin Laden went for weapon

PRESIDENT Barack Obama said yesterday he’s decided not to release death photos of terrorist Osama bin Laden because their graphic nature could incite violence and create national security risks for the United States.

Separately, officials said the Navy SEALs who stormed bin Laden’s compound shot and killed him after they saw him appear to lunge for a weapon.

The officials, who were briefed on the operation, said several weapons were found in the room where bin Laden died, including AK-47s and side arms.
