Former US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta reveals in his new book ‘Worthy Fights’ that Osama bin Laden was buried at sea as planned, according to Islamic traditions.
After Osama was shot dead, Panetta said, as planned the body of the world’s most wanted terrorist was transported by marines flying an Osprey to waiting aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson for his burial by sea. “The bagged body was placed on a white table at the rail of the ship; the table was tipped over to drop the body into the sea. It was so heavy that it dragged the table in with it. As the body sank quickly out of sight, the table bobbed on the surface,” Panetta said, without identifying the location.
