* Bin Laden "resisted", but not armed - White House
* U.S. debating whether to release photograph of body
* Pakistani newspaper decries "national embarrassment"
* U.S. vows to find out if Pakistan sheltered bin Laden (Adds Gilani quotes, Al Arabiya TV report)
By Kamran Haider and Matt Spetalnick
ABBOTTABAD/WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden was unarmed when U.S. special forces shot and killed him, the White House said, as it tried to establish whether its ally Pakistan had helped the al Qaeda leader elude a worldwide manhunt.
Pakistan faced national embarrassment, a leading Islamabad newspaper said, in how to explain that the world's most-wanted man was able to live for years in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, just north of the capital.
Islamabad vehemently denies it gave shelter to bin Laden.
"There is an intelligence failure of the whole world, not just Pakistan alone," Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani told reporters in Paris. "(If there are) ... lapses from the Pakistan side, that means there are lapses from the whole world."
The revelation that bin Laden was unarmed contradicted an earlier U.S. account that he had participated in a firefight with the helicopter-borne American commandos.
