Did CIA Ignore bin Laden Warning? The Pakistani Foreign Ministry says it told U.S. intelligence of suspicions about the compound in Abbottabad where bin Laden was found. The Daily Beast's Philip Shenon reports on the claim's credibility. Plus, full coverage of Osama bin Laden's death.

Just a day after CIA Director Leon Panetta said the photos would be released, President Obama told 60 Minutes that he has decided not to do so. CBS said it will air the comments Wednesday night, but didn't elaborate on the president's reasons. Several politicians who have seen the photos—including Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) and Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA)—said they should not be released. But others have demanded they be shown in order to put to rest any doubts that bin Laden had really been killed.
