Osama bin Laden is dead

U.S. assets have killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden  in a mansion outside Islamabad, Pakistan. It is reported that Bin Laden was killed, along with other members of his family. This comes almost 10 years after the September 11th attacks orchestrated by bin Laden.

CNN has said that the U.S. had received specific information about the terrorist’s whereabouts in Pakistan several months ago. President Obama ordered the operation – carried out by a handful of U.S. troops — to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. There was a firefight; bin Laden was killed, and troops took the body back to Afghanistan.

Obama gave a televised speech Sunday evening around 11:30pm announcing bin Laden’s death. Apparently there was a growing crowd in front of the White House chanting “U.S.A.” as the news spread. The Clinton administration didn’t capture him and the Bush administration vainly tried after 9/11. Up to now, it looked as though Obama would have the same luck, however intelligence tipped the scale.

Osama bin Laden died on or around May 1, 2011 when U.S. military forces shot and killed Osama bin Laden in a firefight in Abbottabad, Pakistan and then seized his body. U.S. President Barack Obama publicly reported on May 1, 2011 that bin Laden was killed by a small special operations team. The operation was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command forces in Pakistan working with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). After careful monitoring of a compound suspected to be bin Laden’s residence in Pakistan, U.S. military forces were sent across the border of Afghanistan to launch the attack. Pakistani officials confirmed that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by the U.S. military. The body was recovered by the U.S. military and is currently in its custody.
