HOW CAN THERE BE A FIREFIGHT IF THEY HAVE NO WEAPONS?

Obomber stated in his grand announcement that there was a firefight.

Yesterday I quoted a report from The Guardian
U.S. forces faced a firefight throughout the 40-minute raid. "We expected a great deal of resistance and were met with a great deal of resistance. There were many other people who were armed in the compound," Carney said.


Carney is White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Yet a report in al Arabiya states that there was no firefight because no weapons were in the compound!
Similarly, according to information Pakistani officials collected from detained persons, Osama was neither armed nor did inmates at the compound fire at the US choppers or commandos.

“Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the US forces and their choppers. Their chopper developed some technical fault and crashed and the wreckage was left on the spot,” a well-informed official explained.

...Security officials said they did not recover any arms and explosives during their detailed search of the compound on Monday and Tuesday. Also, they said, it was a simple house comprising 13 rooms, six on the ground floor and the remaining on the first and second floors.

So if no weapons have been found, and no firefight took place then why was any occupant of the compound shot dead? What kind of unarmed resistance can hold up an elite military unit for 40 minutes and result in the deaths of four adults (maybe five, because they still can't decide what happened to ObLs son)?

And in this same report it states that ObLs wife and daughter have allegedly told Pakistani officials that they were present when ObL was killed, and claim that ObL was captured alive before being shot, and that they only moved to that compound a few months ago. Regarding this last statement I heard on BBC Radio 4 yesterday that the wife said they only moved there a few months ago.
