Osama Bin Laden,the longtime leader of al Qaeda, who is the mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on American soil is dead. U.S. President Barack Obama made this announcement late Sunday night, an this is coming 10 years after the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in the United States.


He was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members according to a senior U.S. official who spoke to journalist.
In his address to the nation late Sunday night,President Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."

The United States team launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and there were no American causalities. They also took care to avoid civilian casualties.They killed Osama bin Laden after a firefight and took custody of his body.
U.S. diplomatic facilities around the world have been placed on high alert after this development in fear that al Qaeda supporters may try to retaliate against U.S. citizens or U.S. institutions.

Hundreds of people arrived at the White House late Sunday night and chanted, "USA! USA!" They then chanted, "Hey, hey, goodbye!" in reference to the death of bin Laden and they spontaneously sang the national anthem according to CNN reports.

In President Obama's speech, he reiterated that the United States is not at war with Islam as even Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, in their  statement on Monday morning welcomed the death of bin Laden citing that bin Laden never represented Muslims or Islam In fact and in addition to the killing of thousands of Americans, he and Al Qaeda caused the deaths of countless Muslims worldwide.
