Is this the first real photo of dead Osama?
May 04, 2011 17:51 IST
Here's another photograph of slain Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that has emerged on the web.

Though the veracity of the photograph is yet to be ascertained, many believe that this could be the real thing.

Do you think so?

Quoting an unidentified senior US official, CNN had earlier said that the White House had received three sets of photographs.

The first batch, which clearly show bin Laden's body, was taken at a hangar in Afghanistan, the official said.

The official described one of the images as a clear, but gruesome, picture of his face. Osama is shown with a massive open head wound across both eyes, the official said, adding that the image would not be appropriate for the front pages of newspapers.
