From [HERE] A government watchdog group Judicial Watch [advocacy website] announced [press release] on Thursday that they had filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF] seeking information about the funeral arrangements made for al Qaeda [JURIST news archive] leader Osama Bin Laden [WP obituary; JURIST news archive]. The US Navy reported last year that Bin Laden was buried at sea in accordance with Muslim tradition within 24 hours of his death. The group is requesting any documents that were referenced in preparation for the funeral service and any other documents that reference the funeral service of Bin Laden. The group said that the Navy had previously acknowledged the receipt of their request for this information, but failed to respond within the time limit. The group notes that Navy regulations [text, PDF] of funerals require the reading of a specific prayer during a Muslim funeral service at sea. The group has also requested access to postmortem photos of Bin Laden, which US President Barack Obama [official profile] has said will not be released to the public.
