He also confirmed one of Bin Laden's sons -- Khalid -- along with two Al Qaida facilitators was also killed. Bin Laden's wife was wounded in the leg. It has also been revealed that it was one of Osama Bin Laden's most trusted couriers - a Kuwaiti-born man named Sheikh Abu Ahmed,- who led US forces to his hiding place.
