Archbishop of Canterbury voices unease over bin Laden


The Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the 80-million strong Anglican Communion, said on Thursday the killing of an unarmed Osama bin Laden left a "very uncomfortable feeling."

Rowan Williams, who last week married Prince William and Catherine Middleton, said the different versions of events coming out of the White House "have not done a great deal to help here."

Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces early Monday during a raid on his home at Abbottabad, a garrison town near Islamabad in Pakistan.

U.S. accounts of what happened have changed throughout the week, and initial characterisations of a 40-minute gun battle have given way to officials being quoted as saying only one of the five people who were killed had been armed.
