Intelligence officials are still deciding whether to release photographs or video of the burial. But initial DNA tests completed Monday morning revealed bin Laden’s remains to be a “virtually 100 percent match,” according to a senior intelligence official.
At the time of the operation, special operators visually identified bin Laden, according to US officials. A woman, presumed to be his youngest wife, also identified him by name.
Moreover, when Central Intelligence Agency specialists compared photos, they determined “with 95 percent accuracy” that the body was bin Laden’s.
