President Obama won't release
Mr Osama Bin Laden death photos: US media
US President Barack Obama has decided not to release a photograph showing the body of Osama Bin Laden after he was killed by US commandos, US television networks said.
In an interview with CBS, Obama said "he won't release post-mortem images of Osama Bin Laden taken to prove his death," the network said in a statement.
The CBS interview for its "60 Minutes" program was air and comes after commandos over last weekend stormed Bin Laden's hideout in a Pakistani compound and shot him dead.
US officials who have seen the pictures of bin Laden's body have described them as gruesome.
There are fears that if the photos are released they could provoke anger and trigger a backlash against US personnel in the Muslim world.
Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were both advising Obama about concerns at the Pentagon and State Department over releasing the photograph, ABC television said.
On Capitol Hill, a number of senators and congressmen said they had been shown the picture.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said he had seen the photo and was reluctant for it to be released, saying he was concerned for the security of American troops abroad.
"The risks of release outweigh the benefits," Rogers said, saying conspiracy theorists would just claim it was doctored anyway.
"Imagine how the American people would react if Al-Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the Internet
"Osama bin Laden is not a trophy -- he is dead,"
Officially,
the US has yet to decide whether to release a picture of Mr Osama Bin Laden's corpse,
but Panetta said he had no doubt that a photograph would be released.
How Osama bin Laden died:
Details of the commando raid that killed Mr Osama Bin Laden.
Mr Osama Bin Laden was brought to a helicopter after being shot dead.
Firing several times, at least once into the head.
During the operation, a photo of his face was transmitted to analysts, who confirmed the identification.
presumably after obtaining DNA samples to match with his known relatives.
He was buried at sea a few hours later from a US warship.
