Washington, May 4(ANI): US Vice President Joe Biden has described the secrecy of the plans for the raid on Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan's Abbottabad city as "absolutely amazing".
"There was such an absolute overwhelming desire to accomplish this mission, that although for over several months we were in the process of planning it, and there were as many as 16 members of Congress who were briefed on it, not a single solitary thing leaked," CBS News quoted Biden, as saying.
"I find that absolutely amazing," he added. e also said the enactment of the mission was "breathtaking" and "staggering", and stressed that no one, but Americans could do something like this.
President Barack Obama had ordered the raid by a small team of US Special Forces, which found Laden, who had evaded capture for a decade, in a home in a fortified compound in Abbottabad.
Bin Laden, accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, was at the top of the US "most wanted" list. (ANI)
