Obama Bin Laden Killed by American Troops.

About time - and he won't be around to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.

Here are the details:

Multiple outlets reporting some or all of these details (links when I get them, pulling together from TV reports):


U.S. Joint Special Operations Command Special Mission Unit (SMU) from the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU — formerly known as Seal Team Six) did the shooting. There were other JSOC spotters on the ground, as well as two special operations helicopters and an unmanned drone overhead.

One of the special-ops helicopters reportedly suffered mechanical difficulties and crash landed onsite. It was destroyed by U.S. forces.

Bin Laden was killed along with two al Qaeda couriers and one of Bin Laden’s adult sons. A woman who was used as a human shield by one of the couriers was also reportedly killed. Several other women were wounded and are reportedly receiving treatment.

The compound was located in an affluent suburb 35 kilometers north of Islamabad and is being described as huge, with a central building many times larger than other houses in the area and ringed by a 12-15-foot tall security wall. The compound reportedly had no incoming or outgoing electronic communications.

Bin Laden had apparently been hiding out in Pakistan, where our allies the Pakistanis couldn't find him.  He was about a mile from a Paki police station.

Mission accomplished. 

America's enemies have to know that they will be hunted down and killed no matter how long it takes.

According to this "Obama credited Pakistan's intelligence services for helping to lead the U.S. to bin Laden."  I guess translated that means the reward got high enough to make it worth someone's while.

Time to get out of Afghanistan and start supporting India.
