据最新报道，拉登被击毙时没有带武器，但是仍然被认为是很危险的; 虽然美军事先演练了“活捉”的情景，但是“活捉”的场面没有发生。

白宫改口：拉登被打死时没有携带武器
白宫官员周二说，乌萨马•本•拉登(Osama bin Laden)死于一次发生在其住所的冲突，冲突中他抵抗了美国武装部队，但没有携带武器。
在这次针对巴基斯坦一处院落发动的突然袭击过去两天之后，又有新的事实曝光，补充了本•拉登被打死时几个关键时刻的现场画面。这些新细节纠正了一天前一位高级政府官员提供的错误信息，这位官员说本•拉登当时携带了武器。

多年来行踪诡秘的基地组织领袖本·拉登上周日被美军击毙。他最后的藏身地是距离巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡约64公里处的一幢住宅。
白宫力图提供一个准确的事件先后次序，并纠正了有关本•拉登一名妻子命运的信息。当海军海豹突击队(Navy Seals)进入本•拉登藏身处、阿伯塔巴德市一幢三层楼房的房间时，他的妻子冲向突击队员并袭击他们。
她被射中腿部，但没有被打死。这跟周一给出的说法相反。在底楼交火中被打死的是另外一名妇女。
这次突袭是一个由美国特种作战部队(Special Operations)20来名队员组成的团队执行的。本•拉登藏身的那幢三层建筑物内住有包括妇女和儿童在内的22人。发动突袭时，建筑物内有四名青壮年男性，即本•拉登及其已经成年的儿子，以及两名充当信使的同伙。
白宫发言人杰伊•卡尼(Jay Carney)周二说，本•拉登反抗了突击队。他说当时发生了一场极其猛烈的交火。但他没有提供其他细节。卡尼说，打死本•拉登的决定是突击队队员现场做出的。
卡尼还说，虽然本•拉登没有携带武器，美方特战队员在与他冲突的过程中“遇到了大量抵抗”，建筑物内的其他人在开火，使特战队员无法活捉本•拉登。
枪杀本•拉登的合法性部分来自于海豹突击队的作战规则。海豹突击队受中央情报局(Central Intelligence Agency)管辖，而中情局的活动限制少于军队。军队的行动规则规定了他们何时可以使用致命武力。即使是根据军队的规则，只要本•拉登没有试图投降，打死他就是合法的。

New U.S. Account Says Bin Laden Was Unarmed During Raid
WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden was not carrying a weapon when he was killed by American troops in a fortified house in Pakistan, the White House said Tuesday, as it revised its initial account of the nighttime raid.
Members of a Navy Seals team burst in on Bin Laden in the compound where he was hiding and shot him in a room on an upper floor, after a fierce gun battle with other operatives of Al Qaeda on the first floor.
Bin Laden’s wife, who was with him in the room, “rushed the U.S. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed,” said the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, reading from the brief account, which was provided by the Defense Department. “Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed.”
Mr. Carney said that Bin Laden’s lack of a weapon did not mean he was ready to surrender, and he and other officials reiterated that this was a violent scene, that there was heavy fire from others in the house, and that the commandos did not know whether the occupants were wearing suicide belts or other explosives.
Still, the account diverged in some ways from one given Monday by the president’s chief counterterrorism adviser, John O. Brennan. He had said Bin Laden was “engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in,” adding, “whether or not he got off any rounds, I frankly don’t know.”
Mr. Brennan also said then that Bin Laden used his wife as a “human shield.” But officials now say that the death of another woman in the crossfire on another floor led them to draw that false conclusion.
White House officials said the discrepancies resulted from their haste to provide details about a chaotic, fast-moving military operation to an intensely interested American public. As more of the assault team’s 79 members were debriefed, and their accounts were crosschecked with those of other team members, there were bound to be changes in the account, these officials said.
But the episode also reveals the pressures as the White House, intent on telling a dramatic story about a successful operation, sought to manage a 24-hour news media ravenous for immediate and vivid details. Even as Mr. Brennan was giving his account on Monday, other officials began clarifying parts of the story for reporters.
On Tuesday, one issue officials were wrestling with was whether to release a photo of Bin Laden’s body.
Several experts on the rules of engagement in combat said that in a raid on a target as dangerous as Bin Laden, the Navy Seals team would be justified to open fire at the slightest commotion when they burst into a room.
“If he were surrendering, or knocked out and unconscious on the ground, that would raise serious questions," said John B. Bellinger III, legal counsel at the National Security Council and State Department in the Bush administration.
“But this is a guy who’s extremely dangerous,” he said. “If he’s nodding at someone in the hall, or rushing to the bookcase or you think he’s wearing a suicide vest, you’re on solid ground to kill him.”
Other experts noted that the members of the Navy Seals faced difficult conditions, moving through dim rooms under gunfire, and needing to make a split-second judgment about whether Bin Laden posed a threat.
“They say he was unarmed now, but did the Seals know he was unarmed?” said Scott L. Silliman, an expert on wartime legal doctrine at Duke University Law School. “It was in the dark. They were wearing goggles.”
At the United Nations, questions arose about the killing. The organization’s senior human rights official, Navi Pillay, called for more details.
While noting that Bin Laden was a dangerous man, she said any operation against him should have been done legally.
During Monday’s briefing, Mr. Brennan said President Obama put a premium on protecting the commandos in the operation, saying that “we were not going to give Bin Laden or any of his cohorts the opportunity to carry out lethal fire on our forces.”
None were harmed, though there was a tense moment when one of the two helicopters suffered a mechanical failure and was destroyed by the commandos.
Despite expecting Bin Laden to put up a fight, Mr. Brennan said the assault team had made contingency plans for capturing, rather than killing him. “If we had the opportunity to take Bin Laden alive, if he didn’t present any threat, the individuals involved were able and prepared to do that,” he said.
Still, Mr. Brennan was eager to draw larger lessons from what he said was Bin Laden’s use of his wife as a shield.
“Here is Bin Laden, who has been calling for these attacks, living in this million-dollar-plus compound, living in an area that is far removed from the front, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield,” he said. “I think it really just speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the years.”
Leon E. Panetta, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said in an interview with NBC News on Tuesday that the troops’ orders were to kill Bin Laden. “But it was also, as part of their rules of engagement, if he suddenly put up his hands and offered to be captured, then they would have the opportunity, obviously, to capture him,” he said.
Some of the confusion in the accounts of the raid stemmed from the difference in time zones. Bin Laden had actually been killed early Monday by Pakistan time, not late on Sunday as had been initially reported.
Meanwhile, the White House continued to grapple with the question of whether to release the photo of the dead Bin Laden, or other documentary evidence. Administration officials said that they are trying to determine whether the visceral desire among Americans — and some skeptics — to see proof outweighs the potential that such images might further inflame Bin Laden’s disciples.
The photo, taken after Bin Laden was killed, clearly identifies the Qaeda leader, according to one official who has viewed it. “It looks like him, covered in blood with a hole in his head,” the official said.
White House officials say they are still deciding what to do, although one official said that they were leaning toward releasing the photo. Mr. Panetta told NBC News that he did not think “there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.”
