As many of you may know now, the villain known as Osama Bin Laden, is now dead. Here are the details of this episode of American and world history that will surely, not be forgotten. To all the mods, before closing this consider the fact that it's really detailed and should answer most the questions about this. Thank you.
How he died
Osama Bin Laden was killed by US troops on the ground in a fire fight. He was shot at least once in the head. The US now has custody of his body and can confirm he's dead. The president authorised an operation to "get Bin Laden" last week, he said, and on Sunday a small team of US forces undertook the operation. The US first received this intelligence in August 2010.

April 24, 2011; announced May 1, 2011) was a member of the wealthy Saudi bin Laden family and the founder of the jihadist terrorist organization al-Qaeda, most widely recognized for the September 11 attacks on the United States and numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets.

Obama Speech Regarding Osama
What the Future Holds
Surely at the death of their leader Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda has to be enraged. We don't know what the future exactly holds but the terrorist group will most certainly be seeking their revenge. US secret services and defenses should be on alert more than ever now.
To All
This is one big step against the war on terrorism, but surely not the last. The US and others will continue their fight on terrorism to bring justice for all those that have died. Stay strong and god bless those who have passed away because of this man.

The scars will never heal, instead they will remain there.......as a reminder of what we have been through and what we must pursue until there are no more. Set foot on american soil.
