The Daily Mail reports:
“Barack Obama vetoed a plan for stealth bombers to blow up Osama Bin Laden’s compound in March so special forces could get DNA evidence to confirm he was dead.
The U.S. President gave the all clear for an air strike on the 54-year-old’s hideaway – but backed out.
Military leaders were going to drop 2,000lb bombs from two B2 stealth bombers on the secure site yards from Pakistan’s military academy, sources revealed.
But Obama told the military to hold off, and instead an elite team American forces killed the terrorist during a firefight.
The President vetoed the original plan so the U.S. could preserve the terror leader’s remains and prove that he had been killed, ABC News reported.
DNA samples taken from the body showed the man killed was ‘99.9 per cent certain’ to be Bin Laden.”
