Further revelations from Abottabad and beyond

The Americans who raided bin Laden's lair met far less resistance than the Obama administration described in the aftermath, according to its latest account. The commandos encountered gunshots from only one man, whom they quickly killed, before sweeping the house and shooting others, who were unarmed, a senior defense official said.

Many of the residents of Abbottabad seem to be confused and suspicious about the killing of Osama bin Laden, which took place in their midst before dawn on Monday, even as the U.S. White House has struggled to communicate its account of the audacious raid that killed Osama bin Laden for both a jubilant American public and a skeptical Muslim world.
