The Obama administration does not expect to capture Osama Bin Laden alive.
Attorney General Eric Holder told a House appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday that the possibility of catching the Al Qaeda leader alive is “infinitesimal.”
“Based on the intelligence I’ve reviewed, the possibility simply does not exist,” Mr. Holder said in response to heated questioning by Republican members of Congress.
“He will be killed by us or he will be killed by his own people so that he is not captured alive,” Holder said. “We know that.”
