Senator James Inhoffe, a Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he was shown 15 photographs taken of bin Laden after the Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces in a raid on May 2 in Abbottabad in Pakistan.

“They’re gruesome, of course, because it was taken right after the incident,” Inhoffe, the first Congressman to view the death photos of bin Laden, told the Fox News in an interview.
