So I woke up early this morning and came across this news on the internet stating that Osama Bin Laden is dead! He died this Monday morning, May 2, 2011. It seems that after a long search, the man who became infamous for the September 11, 2011 attack on the US, who was able to evade the radar for years was finally killed in a firefight in his hideout.
"U.S. officials said the CIA tracked bin Laden to his location, then elite troops from Navy SEAL Team Six, a top military counter-terrorism unit, flew to the hideout in four helicopters. Bin Laden was shot in the head in an ensuing firefight, these officials said, adding that he and his guards had resisted his attackers. U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition, the official said, declining to say whether DNA analysis had also been used." - This was taken from Yahoo News
