Bin Laden Dead, U.S. Official Says
By HELENE COOPER

WASHINGTON —** President Obama announced late Sunday that Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, was killed in a firefight during an operation he ordered inside Pakistan, ending a 10 year manhunt for the world’s most wanted terrorist. American officials were in possession of his body, he said.**

The fate of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Al Qaeda number two in command, was unclear.

The death of Mr. Bin Laden is a huge punctuation in the American-led war on terrorism. What remains to be seen is whether the death of the leader of Al Qaeda galvanizes his followers by turning him into a martyr, or whether it serves as a turning of the page in the war in Afghanistan and gives further impetus to the Obama administration to bring American troops home.

**One American official said that American forces, acting on intelligence, launched a “targeted assault” that killed Mr. Bin Laden, whose ability to elude capture for so long deeply frustrated the Bush administration.

The news of the death of the leader of Al Qaeda was bound to electrify the world, particularly as it comes a full decade after American forces, under President Bush, launched their all-out assault to find the man responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks.
**
Since those attacks, Mr. bin Laden was able to elude capture by hiding out in the mountains of Afghanistan and elsewhere. He initially escaped from Tora Bora in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan after an American invasion routed the Taliban, his protectors. Since then, he issued some 30 messages, in audio, video or electronic text. Intelligence officials believe they were passed from hand to hand repeatedly to obscure any trail back to his hiding place. Even while in hiding, he remained a potent symbolic figure. And American officials believe, based on intercepted communications from second- and third-tier Qaeda operatives, that he also still helped shape Al Qaeda’s strategy.

OBAMA Decision was made last week to pull the trigger...Today at my direction, action was taken in Abatabad

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Obama was just on tv. So its confirmed. Good riddance. No country has paid more price for this trash than Pakistan. I hope this rotten scum rots in hell.

Re: Breaking News!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Obama says US cooperation with Pakistan helped track bin Laden down.

Re: Breaking News!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Osama Bin Laden was killed in a mansion just outside Islamabad, outside a mansion in Abbottabad :smokin:

Re: Breaking News!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

perfect calculation by Mr. Obama, its just take abt a week to pull the trigger … :yawn:

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

For the 100th time....

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Does End of Osama mean that they're going to stop the drone attacks now?

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

thats a million dollar qt, probably the ans would be no .......

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

This would increase drone attacks as now America can easily make claims that since Osama was here in Pakistan there will be more militants. Pakistan is going to become the world's most hated country now because the world's biggest terrorist was in Pakistan. Forever major documents about Osama and terror will say Osama died in Pakistan. On one side America will shout at us for harbouring terrorists on the other side terrorists will attack us for serving America.
Dark times ahead for Pakistan.

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

A Major Embarrasment for Pakistan................

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

That is what it looks like :(

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

Osama bin Laden (goat-lover) had been killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan in the area known as "Bilal Town". Inter-Services Intelligence agents were also took part in the operation.

Anybody remember the news ticker in the morning on Pakistan channels about the helicopter crash near PMA Kakul, Abbottabad. keep connecting the dots.. a rather chilling fact is his hideout was just 50km away from Islamabad and pretty much with-in meters range of Pakistan biggest military academy.

Khus Kam, Jahan Pak..

Re: Breaking News!!!! Osama Bin Laden is dead

A president never made an official statement for the past 99 times. :)

With this news I hope...
- Drone attacks are stopped
- Pakistan comes up with a better strategy to fight Al-Qaeda and Talibans in Pakistan.
- US and Pakistan relationship will get better, US will stop discriminating against Pakistanis.
