bin laden's son, omar, left him.e attacks were dumb, they were stupid. we've got this 800 pound gorilla after us now. in fact, i'm going to leave. he left afghanistan and he went to saudi arabia and he's basically, i think washed his hands of his father. >> reporter: on november 12th, kabul was overtaken by an afghan militia allied with the united states. the taliban were routed and bin laden ran to the one refuge he knew best, the afghan mountains. >> what will the future of osama bin laden's jihad look like? those who knew him said the holy war and violence it ignited will continue on. and everywhere people are wondering when al qaeda will strike next. bin laden himself had already written the next chapter. he called for his own children to carry on the fight. before his death, bin laden became a father again. this time to a daughter he named sophia, after a woman famous for killing a jewish spy. >> he told me that when my daughter will grow she will also kill the enemies of islam. >> from one generation to the nex

in the room with bin laden a woman, bin laden's -- a woman, rather, bin laden's wife rushed the u.s. asalter and was shot in the leg but not killed. bin laden was then shot and killed. he was not armed. >> the white house continues to consider whether to release a photo as proof of bin laden's death, which was already confirmed through d.n.a. analysis. earlier tonight cia director leon panetta revealed the status of that decision to nbc news brian williams. >> there is a report as we have this conversation for the record, 10:36 a.m., that the president, the white house has decided and it may already be out to release a proof of death photo what light can you shed on this. >> the government obviously has been talking about how best to do this. but i don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public. >> leon panetta also provided details on the president's rules of engagement with bin laden. >> the president's order read capture or kill or both or just one of those? >> the authorities we have on bin laden are to kill him. and that was made

bin laden was one of a kind.combined an extraordinary talent for propaganda, for oratory, with rhetoric, with a largely mythical, but nonetheless convincing story of being a rich kid who'd given away his riches to live a life of a fighter, who had taken on the soviets himself, again, largely myth on the jiesed, but nonetheless very convincing. all of that is very difficult to put together as a package. there's no one else who's got it. the obvious successor is his associate, ayman al-zawahiri, but al-zawahiri is older, hasn't got the looks, hasn't got the chris ma of bin laden, and he's going to find it difficult to communicate in the way that bin laden did. bin laden was a strategist, but primarily a communicator, and that kind of person is almost irreplaceable for any organization, particularly a covert organization like al qaeda. >> while you're speaking, jason, we're just looking at some of those archived pictures of jihadees training in al qaeda camps. of course, there are still al qaeda groups around the wo

the president said bin laden deserved the justice he received and to anyone who doubts bin laden was killed, the president said you will not see him walking on this earth again. >> reporter: did you see the pictures? >> yes. >> reporter: what was your reaction when you saw them? >> it was him. >> reporter: why haven't you released them? >> you know, we discussed this internally. keep in mind that we are absolutely certain this was him. we have done d.n.a. sampling and testing, and so there is no doubt that we killed osama bin laden. it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool. you know, that's not who we are. >> couric: you can see more of the president's first interview since the killing of bin laden this sunday on "60 minutes." over to the white house now, and chip reid. chip, that interview and talk of those photos dominated today's briefing. >> reporter: they did, katie, and that's because that interview is the best source we have for underst

a woman, bin laden's -- a woman, rather, bin laden's wife, rushed the u.s. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed. bin laden was then shot and killed. he was not armed. >> reporter: so brian, the reason for the change, right now all of those navy s.e.a.l.s that participated in this fight are doing after-action debriefings at a base in afghanistan. and as they get more information, the story does change, and as somebody at the white house said to me, this is something that happens regularly under military operations, the fog of war. >> all right. chuck todd from the white house, starting us off on what, as you heard, is still a movable situation. and a number of these questions, a number of these issues that have come up since word broke of bin laden's death also came up during an interview earlier today with leon panetta, the director of the cia and a man who as intelligence chief had a lot riding on this raid. >> i don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public. obviously, i've seen those photograp

it was obvious bin laden would not be taken alive. u.s. officials say armed with an automatic rifle the al qaeda leader fired on americans who then shot and killed bin laden. >> then three other consecutive bangs came. then one fifth final bang that made the whole sky orange. that's when we had to duck. >> reporter: in the exchange, the navy seals also killed two al qaeda courser, and one of bin laden's adult sons. one woman who the al qaeda gunman used as a human shield was also shot and killed. when the shooting stopped the americans loaded bin laden's body on a helicopter to be transferred to afghanistan. nearly ten years after 9/11, the operation to kill bin laden was over in 40 minutes. >> it's amazing that this plan began to take shape eight months ago. the president held five meetings in the last six weeks to try to get this closer and closer to a decision to do, to make the order that he made on friday for what happened on sunday and then amazing harrowing moments. tell us more. >> actually for years intelligence operatives have be

this is have filling in the gaps that is still around about bin laden, about the death of bin laden,hat he's been doing for the past years. >> very early in the morning. we appreciate that. >>> we're continuing to follow the breaking news on cnn. in case you haven't heard, in the last few hours the u.s. government has released never before seen videos of osama bin laden. karen greenberg is the executive director at the center on law and security at new york university and an author. thanks very much for joining us. what doyou make about the release of the tapes, first of all? >> i think the release is partly a substitute for not showing the picture of bin laden when he was killed. i think it's an attempt to show the public, the american public that not just that it happened in a kind of corroborative way, because i think conspear a eeir theorists will find their way out of there, but to show that we were there, and to show, you need to keep in mind the reason we have this information, like the reason we have the thumb drives is because the obama administration chose not to bomb this

bin laden is on the run.ast to the mountains, nestled among the 14,000-foot peaks, a complex of save r caves known as tora bora. >> it was an excellent place to hide because bin laden would spend many years living in and around the region. he had a house with a small rudiment tri swimming pool, a bakery, a whole setup there and a little mini jihadist king dochl it was his country retreat. >> six years later, a journalist interviewed bin laden here, in a cave, turned in to a command center. >> he told me that he feels safe in this cave. he knows that area very well and he knows it is very difficult for anybody to come and follow him there. >> reporter: but now bin bib la is being followed. >> we paid a number of afghans. >> the journalists gather thoend mountainside there. >> reporter: tim lister was part of the cnn team covering the war. >> we outnumbered the u.s. personnel on the ground. >> reporter: the americans call for air strikes and they come with thundering force. >> we brought in specter gunships tha

osama bin laden, and a resident identified osama bin laden, and osama bin laden was given a chance to surrender and he resisted and shot in the head and a photo identification was made of osama bin laden, they have photographed but the c.i.a. has not released the photographs, and now we can report he has been buried at sea. >> the defense department official said they took pictures. with saddam hussein they thought it was important to see the photographs after death, will we see the photographs? >> they have in not decided. there are photos that claim to willing osama bin laden shot but we are told by intelligence fills they are doctored photographs and have been there for a while. so far, the photographs have not been released but they have photographic evidence. they did not want to set up a land burial so there would be a land shrine. there was a decision made so there was no place for pilgrims to come to visit. saudi arabia was asked if they wanted possession of body of osama bin laden but they dechained. >> it would be more appropriate to throw him off the building. that would be

that left him standing right in front of bin laden. bin laden was unarmed but the seal thought he was a threat so he shot him twice. katie? >> couric: and, david, doesn't that support the notion that this was, in fact, a kill mission? >> well, the seals certainly weren't there to give bin laden the benefit of the doubt. but only that seal knows why he pulled the trigger. >> couric: all right. david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. earlier today i talked with c.i.a. director panetta, the man in charge of the operation, and i asked him why photographs of bin laden taken after he was killed have not been released. >> well, i'm sure the concern is that just the nature of the photos themselves are such that it could, in fact, be used to try to develop the revengeful nature of what al qaeda is all about and try to inspire them to take even further action against us. i think that's the concern. >> couric: yesterday, white house counterterrorism advisor john brennan said the navy seals were prepared for a capture or kill missi

this hunt either for osama bin laden. we're coming up now on the tenth anniversary of those 9/11 attacks. how different that anniversary will be this year now that osama bin laden is dead. >> incredible difference, particularly when you mark a decade these families have waited for some sort of justice. jake mentioned the polls as recently as this last fall that 67% of americans never thought osama bin laden would be captured or killed. he continued to taunt the united states with those audiotapes. three in the last year. the last was in march where he threatened to kill captured americans if sheikh mohammed khalid was not key leased. just this evening on "world news" we featured a young boy who grew up in lower manhattan, a kindergartener when those towers were falling that morning. he saw it happen, saw people jump from the offices and a firefighter running to him at the scene, a little boy, he said it never left him and that's what drove the documentary. that's the sentiment we'll hear over and over again as we continue

the operation was planned so that the team was prepared and had the means to take bin laden into custody> did anybody on the team -- >> there is simply no question that the operation was lawful. bin was the head of al qaeda and the organization that conducted attacks of september 11, 2001 and al qaeda and bin laden himself continued to plot attacks against the united states. we acted in the nation's self-defense. the operation was conducted in a way designed to minimize and avoid altogether, if possible, civilian casualties. if i might add, that was done at great risk to americans. further more, consistent with the laws of war, bin laden's surrender would have been accepted if feasible. that's my response. yes? >> two questions. thanks, jay. one, what president obama did on sunday, he became hero around the globe, relief to millions of people, including in indian, the victim for 20 years of his terrorism. also, my question is, when the president spoke, what is the reaction from pakistan and other leaders that he has spoken? what are they saying inside pakistan? >> well, i think -- i don'

obama invited former president george bush inviting him to a ceremony marking the death of osama bin laden. the white house says it understands. president obama said he hoped ben laden's death would unify the country. >> tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. i know it has at times frayed. today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the american people. >> let's head to the white house and brianna keilar. mr. bush has kept a low profile, that is true. he struggled to capture ben laden throughout his presidency. why won't he attend? >> reporter: his spokesperson said he appreciated the invite but has chosen in his post-press depcy to stay out have o the spotlight. he continues to celebrate with all americans this important victory in the war on terror. you said it is not unusual. we have seen very little of the former president, unlike say other administration officials. vice presiden cheney has been very publicly commit cal of the obama administration. it is also worth noting that president bush is going to b

osama bin laden's father who was a construction mogul in saudi arabia he died when bin laden was about 10 years old. he left behind a hefty, but undisclosed fortune. that gave osama bin laden not only a lot of his own money, but it also gave him access to the megarich saudi elite. he grew up playing with saudi princes and sheiks. he had his own stable of horses by the time he was 15 years old. that became the key not only to his direct financial power, but to his mystique. to what made him ince rational in the extremist world to the myth of imhim. bin laden used to brag when the russians invaded afghanistan, the saudi government wanted to send a prince. the saudi president wanted to send somebody from the royal family. when they couldn't get a saudi royal to go to afghanistan to be an inspirational figure supporting the muslim fighters against the communists there. they picked osama bin laden who was essentially saudi royalty even if he wasn't actually from the royal family. those were the roots of his inspiration ral power. this rich guy. this almost unimaginably rich guy with unimagi

killed osama bin laden.is on every newspaper in the land. >> does this make him a martyr now would we have to worry about more retaliation? >> i think for any of his followers, there is likely to be that impact it would have been the case whether he died of natural causes over not in some ways he becomes a venerated figure after his death the question of retaliation sydnie is one i think we have to look at carefully already this morning we have reports of people posting things online, threatening retaliation but let me say to reas sure people watching today, any time an attack happens any where, there will be lots of groups that claim credit for it or threaten more attacks in the future and it is important we distinguish between people who make claimthose who are viable threats some times when we publicize these things in news media we raise anxiety when we don't need to. until there is more viable information it is reasonable to expect someone will do something but as for a credible threat, don't have panic

was the capture of osama bin laden.a mega phone said, you know, these people will be brought to justice. is that now justice served, for you? >> well, yes. i mean, justice, getting one person who was evil and killing him. i'm so glad they didn't take him prisoner, i'm so glad they buried him at sea like a mafia low-life. i'm glad the fish already ate him. that's one man who has started a movement that now we've got to deal with. there's who knows how many thousands of radical crazies around the world doing evil like this person did. now they'll be fighting to take his place, and lead this movement. so we've got to really be afraid and vigilant and prepared. all the soldiers that are out there, the navy, the marines, just have done a great job for us coming back. firefighters and police officers. these are the young people that we're counting on to keep us safe. >> all right. former fire commissioner of new york, thomas von essen. thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> next we're going to hear what bin l
