Bin Laden Was Found at Luxurious Pakistan Compound

CNBC:

DNA tests on the body of Osama Bin Laden showed a virtual 100 percent match to relatives, and a woman believed to be his wife also identified him by name, a senior U.S. intelligence official told reporters Monday.

The United States was now reviewing a large cache of materials seized at the compound in Pakistan where U.S. forces killed Bin Laden, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to reporters.

"Those materials are currently being exploited and analyzed and a task force is being set up at CIA ... given the volume of materials collected at the raid site," the official said.

A small U.S. strike team, dropped by helicopter to Bin Laden's compound near the Pakistani capital Islamabad under the cover of night, shot dead the al Qaeda leader in a firefight, U.S. officials said.

"This was a kill operation," one security official told Reuters, but added: "If he had waved a white flag of surrender he would have been taken alive."

The revelation that Bin Laden was living in a multi-million dollar, three-story residence in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, and not as many had speculated, in the country's lawless western border regions, is a huge embarrassment to Pakistan, whose relations with Washington have frayed under the Obama administration.

Having seen the pictures, all I can say is luxury is subjective.

Compared to the way most Pakistanis live I'm sure it was the height of luxury.
