 The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been criticised for live-tweeting the killing of Osama Bin Laden as if it were happening today. 
 
 It has shared details of the mission that led to America's most-wanted man being found five years ago in Pakistan. 
 
 But reaction has been largely negative, with one Twitter user calling the move "grotesque and embarrassing". 
 
 Others posted memes and gifs of people rolling their eyes and putting their heads in their hands. 
 
 The CIA's usual tweets mostly concern historical trivia and artefacts.

 The CIA's first 'live tweet', hashtagged #UBLRaid, begins: "1:25 pm EDT-@POTUS, DCIA Panetta, & JSOC commander Admiral McRaven approve execution of op in Abbottabad." 
 
 At 1:15pm "Helicopters depart from Afghanistan for compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan". Just under 90 minutes later, "2 helicopters descend on compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. 1 crashes, but assault continues without delay or injury". 
 
 Osama Bin Laden is "found on third floor and killed" at 3:39pm. 
 
 The last tweet, at 7:01pm, reads: "@POTUS [President Obama] receives confirmation of high probability of positive identification of Usama Bin Ladin". 
 
 The tweets prompted an outpouring of criticism among Twitter users:

 The leader of al-Qaeda, who was thought to have ordered the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, was shot dead at a compound in Abbottabad, in May 2011 after evading capture by the US and its allies for nearly a decade. 
 
 Speaking on the fifth anniversary of his death, CIA director John Brennan said the United States had destroyed a large part of al-Qaeda but "it's not completely eliminated, so we have to stay focused on what it can do". 
 
 He said removing Bin Laden had a great symbolic and strategic effect on al-Qaeda and it was important to do the same thing with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of the so-called Islamic State (IS). 
 
 But, talking to NBC's Meet the Press show, he described IS as a "phenomenon" that had influence in many countries around the world "so we are going to have to remain very focused on destroying all the elements of that organisation". ||||| The Central Intelligence Agency's media wing is facing a social media backlash after tweeting a "real time" account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden - five years after the event. 
 
 In an unusual decision taken to mark the five year anniversary of the 2011 raid, the agency's Twitter account is publishing an hour by hour description of the top secret mission against the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. 
 
 The decision to tell the story using the same timings as the day of the raid, "as if it were happening today" was designed to mark what will be a key part of President Barack Obama's legacy - and remind the public of the agencies role in the historic operation.
– The CIA decided to relive one of its greatest hits on Sunday by "live-tweeting" the raid that killed Osama bin Laden to mark its fifth anniversary—but social media users turned out to be a tough crowd. "Stop trying to be cool on twitter and get.on with your job," tweeted "Lame Monk" as the CIA tweets began, the Telegraph reports. "2 helicopters descend on compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. 1 crashes, but assault continues without delay or injury," read a typical entry as the CIA recounted the 2011 raid on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, starting with its approval by "POTUS, DCIA Panetta, & JSOC commander Admiral McRaven" and continuing until the body was identified. The agency, which calls the al-Qaeda leader "Usama bin Ladin," used the hashtag #UBLRaid. "This is grotesque and embarrassing. You should fire your web team," tweeted another user, per the BBC. Others described the effort as "unprofessional" and "totally unnecessary." The CIA rejected suggestions that the "victory lap" was inappropriate. "The takedown of bin Laden stands as one of the great intelligence successes of all time. History has been a key element of [the] CIA's social media efforts," a CIA spokesman tells ABC News. "On the fifth anniversary, it is appropriate to remember the day and honor all those who had a hand in this achievement." (Recently released documents include bin Laden's will and letters about his fear of drones.)
