Good find! I find it really strange that they would do something stupid like this. They could have waited at least until they showed the body to the world.
There are always people claiming that someone isn't dead. Hitler. Elvis, the list goes on. If he is dead tell me what would you do with the body. Preserve him like Lenin? Have a Muslim burial? So there can be a funeral procession? They can't do anything but bury him at sea. Otherwise there stands a chance of pilgrimages for the next 1000 years.

2. Osama is killed, body is disposed of in the Ocean a week later.
U.S. officials tell me the last thing they want is for his burial place to become a terrorist shrine.

Burial_at_sea
Islam The sacred texts of Islam prefer burial on land, so deep that its smell does not come out and the beasts of prey do not dig it out. However, if a person dies at sea and it is not possible to bring the body back to land before decay, burial at sea is allowed. A weight is tied to the feet of the body, and the body is lowered into the water. This would preferably occur in an area where the remains are not immediately eaten by scavengers. Also, if an enemy may dig up the grave to mutilate the body, it is also allowed to bury the deceased at sea to avoid mutilation.[3]
A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.
After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.
The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.
