I scrolled through the page and noticed two templates, unrelated to this whole article. They're about ESPN and MLB or something. 2601:445:601:82E0:B5C5:2A68:7895:6502 (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So... did the repatriated widows ever talk to anyone?
Two bizarre articles (one focused on herbal viagra) seem to suggest they did but it isn't clarified or sourced to the original (presumably Yemeni or Arabic) accounts. It would be valuable to know what they claim, given how patently false the initial US accounts were and how cravenly self-serving some of the subsequent SEAL accounts have been. OBL not having the guns nearby or loaded but still attempting to reach for one in the moment makes no sense at all unless the helicopters and grenades were somehow magically silent at a distance of a few hundred meters. He had to have been either bedridden, attempting to surrender, or cowering in an entirely different room from the weapons.
Strange that no one on the English internet (per vanilla Google) seems to have even hunted down the widows' accounts. Even stranger we haven't, per the 5 pages of archived discussion. — LlywelynII 12:08, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Soooo… the date is wrong
Osama Bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011 Not on May 2. Hamster7852 (talk) 08:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected edit request on 17 May 2024
Change May 2nd to May 1st because Osama didn't die on May 2nd. 2600:1004:A002:BA08:D818:BD7D:DD79:8CCA (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
