bin Laden buried at sea by US Navy.
Supposedly out of respect for Islamic law.

Islamic law also requires the body be returned to the deceased's family. Saudi Arabia, however said they didn't want the body.

All as reported by Bill Plante on CBS morning show.

1. Saudis wouldn't take the body is the story out this morning.
I thought he had family in Yemen, too.

2. "Story" is exactly right
Edited on Mon May-02-11 07:17 AM by Crazy Dave
Could have been anybody they killed, even someone they set up therefore unable to give remains to a family.

Seriously, the story I read said they buried him almost immediately so tell me how many families and/or countries would or could have been contacted in such a short time frame and who said "no"?

3. I think this at sea burial is going to cause trouble. Remember when
Sadam's sons were killed? Pictures,pictures,pictures......I just don't see the Arab world buying this. It may be viewed as disrepect for Islam. IMHO
