Osama bin Laden is dead. Killed by U.S. Navy Seals at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (look for the “A” on the map) – which is over 100 km from the Afghanistan border, and even further from the mountainous border area where he was rumored to be staying.
I'm sure more details will emerge about the operation. Several helicopters and a couple dozen U.S. personnel were involved. No U.S. personnel were injured or killed. Our forces “took custody” of bin Laden's body, then buried it at sea (apparently to stay within the Islamic custom of burying a body within 24 hours of death).
Here's the only thing that really matters: the mastermind of 9/11 is dead. Woot!
