'Bring bin Laden's head on ice'


United States spy chiefs ordered agents to deliver Osama bin Laden's severed head in a box of dry ice and hoist heads of other al-Qaeda leaders on pikes, a retired field officer has disclosed...


Schroen was also ordered to kill other al-Qaeda leaders suspected in the plot which saw terrorists slam planes into New York's World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people.
It was the first time in 30 years with the CIA he had been ordered to set out to kill a target rather than try to bring them in alive, Schroen told NPR's station's Morning Edition programme.
He said he told Black: "Sir, those are the clearest orders I have ever received.
"I can certainly make pikes out in the field, but I don't know what I'll do about dry ice to bring the head back, but we will manage something."
