7 Wildest Details Of The New Bin Laden Bombshell

3. The only shots fired were the ones that killed bin Laden

According to Hersh, “There was no firefight” between the SEALs as they entered the bin Laden compound. They blew the stairwell doors open with explosives, but “[a]side from those that hit bin Laden, no other shots were fired.”

National security expert Peter Bergen has contradicted the claim as “a farrago of nonsense.” As one of the only people to visit the post-raid compound before its demolition, Bergen says that “several areas of it were sprayed with bullet holes where the SEALS had fired at members of bin Laden’s entourage and family.”
