Osama Bin Laden is Dead, President Obama Said

“Bin Laden was killed in a military operation in Pakistan that U.S. President Barack Obama ordered today”, Obama said.

Obama said he was told last August that the United States had developed a possible lead on bin Laden who was hiding in a compound in Pakistan.

“Today at my direction, the United States directed a targeted operation against that compound,” Obama said.

“Bin Laden was killed after a firefight, and forces took custody of his body”, the president said. “No Americans were harmed,” Obama said.

People gathered at outside the White House are singing the anthem of their country and shouting USA, USA. Osama was one of the ten most wanted in the world according to the U.S.

The United States has pursued him for 10 years because of his responsibility in the attack to the Twin Towers on September 11, 2011 that killed some 2986 people, including some Ecuadorians.
