New Satellite Photos Show Bin Laden Compound, Downed Helicopter

Images taken just hours after the special forces raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden capture the heavily fortified compound, as well as a downed U.S. helicopter.

The images, published by GeoEye, were collected by the IKONOS satellite while flying 423 miles above the ground.

They also appear to show road blocks on the street leading up to the compound.
