Saudi Arabia Rejects Osama's body

Osama bin Laden, the long-time
figurehead of the al Qaeda
terrorist network, has been
buried at sea after being killed in
a U.S. raid in Pakistan.
According to U.S. officials bin
Laden ’s body would be handled
in accordance with Muslim
traditions, which include strict
rules on burial taking place
within 24 hours after death.
Bin Laden was a Saudi national,
but officials say that the Kingdom
was unwilling to have his
remains repatriated.
He was killed in a U.S. raid
launched early Monday in the
relatively-well-heeled town of
Abbottabad, near the Pakistani
capital of Islamabad.
