Social media exercise giving blow-by-blow account of operation that led to death of al-Qaida chief criticised as 'distasteful'

The Central Intelligence Agency's decision to live-tweet the military operation that culminated in the death of Osama bin Laden "as if it were happening today" has been criticised as a distasteful "victory lap" and PR exercise.

Osama bin Laden was killed on 2 May 2011 after a raid on his compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan by United States Navy Seal commandos.
