This is not just about a military or an organization leader, but also a spiritual leader and an ethnic symbol of jihad against the west.
US acted accordingly, by cremating his body and throwing the ashes in the north arabic sea (All done before sundown according to the muslim law) it automatically removes the possibility for any worshippers to conduct any spiritual ceremonies around any burial place.. also no country would take the body for the most obvious reason --> Al Qaeda on its ass to reclaim the body.
I'm sure a finger or some hair would be taken before the cremation to conduct DNA tests.:puke:
