President Obama’s military advisors were divided over a bombing mission — which would have left no evidence that Bin Laden had been killed — or risking the lives of commandoes on a raid that could be for nothing.
Several urged him to wait for confirmation that Bin Laden was really there.

In Bosnia 1995, Islamists received weapons and air-support from the US to fight the Serbs, 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was in Bosnia.
