Can't really tell Sheik as you said, he's just a man, and this organization surely knew his day will come and have his successor(s) already in place. Lets just put it this way, US forces scores, but the game aint over yet.

So what's your opinion of this story?

This all sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me.
Indeed it is man. Indeed it is. As Reb said, Islamic traditions and sea burial are 2 lines that never cross.

I don't know who their target audience is to be honest, because they surely know thats not right. Wait for the Islamic group in the US (not sure wht they're called actually) to clarify this in a statemnt later.. but I was just saying that this might be a security measure more than be it an Islamic one.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) reports: Now that bin Laden has been killed and his body has been positively identified, what is to be done with his remains?

U.S. officials tell me the last thing they want is for his burial place to become a terrorist shrine.

To avoid that, an informed source tells me, the intention is the bury his body at sea -- leaving no definitive location for the final resting place of his body.
OK, but why lie? Extremists know the difference.

By the way, the guy who made the decision to throw his remains into the sea has no idea about Wahhabi ideology. The founder of the Wahhabi ideology had removing shrines as one of his main tasks, so there was no way to have Ben Laden's tomb as a shrine by his followers, who are certainly Wahhabis.
