Applauding Navy Seal Team 6 kill shot of Osama bin Laden

Navy Seal Team 6 in wee hours of Sunday shot and killed Osama bin Laden in a fortress-like compound.  The compound was around one kilometer (half a mile) away from the Kakul Military Academy, an army-run institution for top officers and one of several military installations.  It was built in 2005 at the end of a narrow dirt road with “extraordinary” security measures. The compound had 12 to 18-feet walls topped with barbed wire with two security gates and no telephone or Internet service connected to it. It raises questions over whether Pakistani security forces knew the whereabouts of the world’s most wanted man.

The reports started coming in more than a month ago: Osama bin Laden was on the move, and the U.S. had its eye on him. Stressed by the turmoil sweeping his part of the world – tumult he had no roll in sparking – bin Laden was trying to bolster al Qaeda's credibility as young people Tweeted and Facebooked about a future that didn't involve him, or al Qaeda.

And then, their records came out. . .

An intelligence source told CBS News that the intelligence community is exploring information obtained during the raid on bin Laden's compound in an attempt to learn al Qaeda intentions and the identity and whereabouts of al Qaeda key players.
