To provoke any step by Al Quaeda that could be exploited or used in the propaganda war.

I hope the genetic test has been made not by the US military, but an independant source. Else it will be put into question in the Arab world, where they will prefer to show the photo of the dead face and sayiong "This man? It could be just anybody! How do you know this was OBL?"

If there was such genetic test, the uS would be well advised to publish it and make it as transparent and well-documented as possible. Else they will continue to fight against OBL - inside people'S head for whom he is still alive.
