<p>Senator James Inhoffe, a Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he was shown 15 photographs taken of bin Laden after the al-Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces.<br /><br />“They’re gruesome, of course, because it was taken right after the incident,” Inhoffe, the first Congressman to view the death photos of bin Laden, told the Fox News in an interview. <br /><br />Nine of the photographs were taken at the Abbottabad compound. Three were taken on a naval vessel from which bin Laden was buried at sea after the commando raid, Inhoffe said.<br /><br />“By viewing these photos, I can help dispel conspiracy theorists who doubt that bin Laden is in fact dead,” he said.<br /><br />In another interview with CNN, Inhoffe said: “One of the shots went through an ear and out through the eye socket. Or it went in through the eye socket and out — then exploded,” he said. “That caused the brains to hang out of the eye socket, so that was pretty gruesome.”</p>
