Osama Bin Laden Dead : Sea Burial of His Body Evokes Controversy
Osama Bin Laden's body has been buried at the Arabian Sea less than 24 hours after US Navy Seals killed him.
The decision to bury him within 24 hours was made with Muslim practices in mind, according to US officials. Before the burial, his body was washed and wrapped in a white sheet, in accordance with Muslim tradition. Moreover, a religious ceremony was held aboard a US aircraft carrier before his body was dumped into the sea.
But the move is not without controversy. Reports rife with everything from conspiracy theories to claims that the move was more of an insult instead of incompliance with Muslim practices have emerged.
The following is a look at some of those theories around the Internet:
