They actually let him stay in his house? Did they want him as a martyr or something?
He was 86 years old and dying. I'd want to stay in my own house too
At that point he might have just wanted to go out on his own terms, and martyred by the USA are great terms to go out on by his ideology. I wouldn't be surprised if this strengthens the resolve of the true believers.
He was just chilling and celebrating Ramadan with his family and did not allow them to interrupt him with mere words, this was his choice.
