    (NewsCore) - Slain terror chief Osama bin Laden used his own wife as a human shield in an apparent attempt to save himself as elite troops stormed his Pakistani compound, US officials revealed Monday.

    The world's most wanted man was shot in the head when he refused to surrender to Navy SEALs.

    The precision strike on his compound in Abbottabad, close to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, took less than 40 minutes, officials said, bringing an eight-month intelligence gathering operation to a dramatic climax.

    Four others were killed in the complex, including a woman believed to be one of the al Qaida chief's four wives. She was shot dead as she "shielded" him from attack, according to a top US counterterrorism official.

    Special ops forces had arrived on board four helicopters at approximately 3:30pm ET Sunday (12:30am local time Monday). Less than 30 minutes later, at exactly 3:55pm ET, a Navy SEAL approached bin Laden and shot him dead, FOX News Channel reported.

    Bin Laden -- given the code name "Geronimo" by US officials -- was found in the compound with one of his young wives, who identified him by name.
