Bin Laden's Death

Image Description: Infographic "The Death of Bin Laden"

General Summary: The infographic, with a white background and tones of beige and red, details the US military operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. The image combines location maps, an isometric aerial view (3D) of the residential complex, and a numbered step-by-step account of the invasion.

1. Location Maps (Bottom left corner)

There are three maps that place the action:

• Regional Map: Shows Pakistan between Afghanistan and India. A red line connects Jalalabad (Afghanistan) to Abbottabad (Pakistan).

• Local Map: A zoom into Abbottabad, showing its proximity to the capital Islamabad.

• Satellite Photo: A real image from Google Maps showing the irregular, triangular shape of the walled complex.

2. The Complex and the Timeline of the Action (Center of the image)

The center features a detailed illustration of the three-story house, surrounded by high walls (between 3 and 5 meters). The narrative is divided into six points:

1. The Arrival: 79 soldiers depart from Jalalabad in 4 helicopters. One of them crashes near the wall, but the operation continues.

2. First Confrontation: In the guest house (annex), Bin Laden's messenger, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, opens fire and is killed along with his wife.

3. Invasion of the Main Building: Soldiers blow up the ground floor door. On the way, Khalid (Bin Laden's son) is killed while advancing against the agents on the stairs.

4. The Third Floor: In the main bedroom, Bin Laden is hit in the left eye and chest. The text mentions that an AK-47 and a Makarov pistol were near him. His wife is wounded in the leg.

5. Identification: Agents take photos of his face for recognition, and later, a DNA test confirms the identity.

6. Withdrawal: The body is taken to Afghanistan and then to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, being buried in the Arabian Sea.

3. Action Data (Bottom right corner)

Black icons summarize logistical information:

• Troop: Operation carried out by SEALs (US Navy).

• Time: The group remained in the house for 38 minutes.

• Material Collected: USB drives, DVDs, videos, and stacks of papers were seized for analysis.

4. Other Facts (Footer)

Two short notes at the end:

• Mention that bodyguards might have killed Bin Laden to prevent his capture (according to a Pakistani newspaper).

• The statement that he was reportedly killed with a shot to the head.
