Osama bin Laden Officially Fucked
Posted on May 1, 2011 by creeping
reportedly Osama bin Laden was WASHINGTON–Osama bin Laden has been killed, a United States official said Sunday night.
President Obama is expected to make an announcement on Sunday night, almost ten years after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Fox reports DNA of relatives have been used to identify bin Laden’s remains. U.S. has possession of the body. He was reportedly killed in Pakistan (varying reports – shot or missile attack). Reportedly was living in a mansion (outside Islamabad or Jalabad).
Things to take note:-
1) This may be the end of Osama, but it is definitely not the end of his band of bad boys
2) He has been living comfortably in Pakistan - a very hospitable host for the Islamic bad boys - and only Allah would know who else are they keeping at their place now.
3) CIA seems to be getting better with their human intelligence.
Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was slain in his luxury hideout in Pakistan early Monday in a firefight with U.S. forces, ending a manhunt that spanned a frustrating decade.
"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama declared as crowds formed outside the White House to celebrate, singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "We Are the Champions," NBC News reported.
Hundreds more sang and waved American flags at Ground Zero in New York — where the twin towers that once stood as symbols of American economic power were brought down by bin Laden's hijackers 10 years ago.

Bin Laden, 54, was killed after a firefight with Navy SEALs and CIA paramilitary forces at a compound in the city of Abbottabad. He was shot in the head, NBC News reported.
A U.S. official told NBC News that bin Laden was later buried at sea "in accordance with Islamic law and tradition."
Other U.S. officials said one of bin Laden's sons and two of his most trusted couriers also were killed, as was an unidentified woman who was used as a human shield.
Al Arabiya reported that two of bin Laden's wives and four of his children were also captured during the operation.
Bin Laden was holed up in a two-story house 100 yards from a Pakistani military academy when four helicopters carrying U.S. forces swooped in , leaving his final hiding place in flames, Pakistani officials and a witness said.

They said bin Laden's guards opened fire from the roof of the compound and one of the choppers crashed. However U.S. officials said no Americans were hurt in the operation. The sound of at least two explosions rocked Abbottabad as the fighting raged.
Abbottabad is home to three Pakistan army regiments and thousands of military personnel and is dotted with military buildings. The discovery that bin Laden's was living in an army town in Pakistan raises pointed questions about how he managed to evade capture and even whether Pakistan's military and intelligence leadership knew of his whereabouts and sheltered him.
