JIM LEHRER: Did you actually see – or did you actually see Osama bin Laden get shot?

LEON PANETTA: No. No, not at all. We – you know, we had some observation of the approach there, but we did not have direct flow of information as to the actual conduct of the operation itself as they were going through the compound.

JIM LEHRER: So do you think the – did the president see the shots fired at Osama bin Laden?

LEON PANETTA: No. No, not at all. Once those teams went into the compound, I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we – you know, we really didn‘t know just exactly what was going on.
