The pictures of Osama bin Laden are definitely him and leave no doubt the al-Qaeda leader is dead, according to a Republican Senator.
James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee viewed the death photos of bin Laden on Wednesday.
Absolutely no question about it. A lot of people out there say 'I want to see the pictures' but I've already seen them. That was him. He's gone. He's history, he told CNN.
Mr Inhofe said he saw 15 photographs, nine taken at the scene of the May 2 raid on a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan; three from the USS Vinson, where bin Laden's body was prepared for burial at sea; and three older photographs to compare for positive identification.
They're gruesome, of course, because it was taken right after the incident, Mr Inhofe said in a separate interview on Fox News.
Mr Inhofe described some photos that showed brain matter protruding from an eye socket. But the senator, a proponent of releasing the pictures, said he had not changed his mind after viewing them.
Mr Inhofe said he thinks at least two photos from the USS Vinson showing the body being cleaned should be released because they depict an easily identifiable bin Laden.
I don't buy this whole concept that's coming out of the White House that you don't want to do this ââ¬â you might make the terrorists mad, he said.
