Washington - DNA tests have confirmed that Osama bin Laden is dead, a senior US official said Monday, a day after a daring raid by US special forces on the Al-Qaeda leader`s compound in Pakistan.
The official confirmed on condition of anonymity that a DNA match had been established with bin Laden`s body before it was buried at sea after the raid.
Another official said they were convinced the US operation had indeed killed bin Laden.
"Bin Laden`s DNA has been matched to several family members. And there is at least 99 pecent certainty that the DNA matches that of Osama Bin Laden," the second official told AFP.
