No reward money for Bin Laden capture

The U.S. government isn't going to hand out the $25-million reward it offered for the capture of Osama bin Laden because the raid in which he was killed was the result of U.S. intelligence not information provided by informants.

That's according to ABC News, which quoted a senior U.S. officials as saying they couldn't find an al-Qaida operative who was willing to give up Bin Laden.

In this sense, the hunt for Bin Laden was different from the hunt for other high-profile targets.

Insiders and others helped U.S. officials capture Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., as well as Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and his two sons.

In those cases, millions of dollars in reward money were handed out.

U.S. official say the intelligence that led them to Bin Laden came from many U.S. government agencies, especially the CIA.
