US officials say Osama bin Laden was buried at sea after his death was confirmed by DNA testing.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, officials from the Defense Department and the CIA revealed the multiple methods used to identify the body of the Al Qaeda leader.

They said bin Laden was identified by a woman believed to be his wife, and by CIA experts who compared his face and body to known pictures of bin Laden.

The officials also said that a DNA test using samples collected from bin Laden's family members confirmed the identity.

A senior government official said that it was difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains and bury them within 24 hours in accordance with Islamic practice.

The official said that the corpse was lowered into the Arabian Sea from a US aircraft carrier on Monday.

The US government says there has been no evidence showing that the Pakistani government knew bin Laden was hiding in a compound near Islamabad.

The US government hopes to collect information about senior members of Al Qaeda by examining items, including computers, confiscated from the hideout.
