The founder and spiritual figurehead for al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, is dead.
President Barack Obama said in an address from the White House that a small team of Americans carried out the operation to kill bin Laden in Pakistan, and that cooperation from Pakistani authorities was crucial. Mr. Obama said bin Laden was killed after a firefight with a U.S. team, and the his body is currently in U.S. hands.
A senior U.S. counterterrorism official told the Associated Press that bin Laden was killed in a ground operation in Pakistan, in a mansion near the capital, Islamabad. While details are still sketchy, CBS News correspondent Chip Reid reports from the White House that officials are saying bin Laden was shot in the head.
President Barack Obama is expected to address the nation on the subject shortly.

wow, it finally happened
can't believe they finally got him
finally
Annnnnd...this just in, Obama has won re-election in 2012.
i somehow doubt this
i guess they just want to end this now (he is prolly dead since years) and make their retreat from afghanistan look like a win
My question is what al-qaida does next?
It's still never over...
Just in time for a campaign year, perfect timing I guess.
Bin Laden is still alive!
Not sure what to believe, but I'm happy that the hunt is over.
I'm surprised they actually got him
He probably would have died of old age anyway. Or from AIDS from one of his 50 wives.
My only question is: Why NOW? They said that they had known his location for about a year (since august 2010).
Part of me think this is a hoax, somthing just doesnt feel right
worlds best hide and seek player ever
Yea this was really excellent been long enough though
BOUT TIME
it's all about upcomming elections
finally they had him..
