據路透社報道，周三，美國總統巴拉克?奧巴馬決定不公布奧薩馬?本?拉登尸首的照片，稱這些照片會煽動暴力，被武裝分子用做宣傳工具。 |
| "There's no doubt that bin Laden is dead," Obama said. "And so we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference. There are going be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this earth again." |
奧巴馬表示：“拉登死了，這毫無疑問。所以我們認為單單一張照片并不能帶來任何改變。一些人會否認，而事實是，你再也不會看到本?拉登在地球上活動了。” |
