Numbers 1 and 2 are not necessarily correct. It is no insult to the intelligence team that caught up with this guy to suggest that HOW we caught him will probably never be known, and that a misleading cover story was set up way prior to his death. We would not want our enemies to know of our knowledge of their weaknesses, and it would be very useful for us if they tried to overhaul their whole security apparatus trying to plug a security leak they didn't have.
It's highly unlikely we have had time to process any intelligence gathered after the raid, if indeed any survived, and even if we had, it probably would not be acted upon so the enemy could never guess what or how much we had acquired. My guess is any raids conducted immediately after Z.'s death were based on leads developed prior to it and timed to hit his organization as they frantically scrambled to regroup and were vulnerable without a leader.
This is one operation where the full truth will not be known for a long time, if ever.
