Osama bin Laden Killed; ID Confirmed by DNA Testing


By DEAN SCHABNER
May 1, 2011

Osama bin Laden, hunted as the mastermind behind the worst-ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed, sources told ABC News.

Specific details of how and where the al Qaeda mastermind was killed were not immediately available, but sources said U.S. forces have the body and DNA testing confirmed that it was bin Laden.

A national security source said that bin Laden was not killed in a drone strike, but declined to go into details about the forces that killed him.

"This is a terrific day for America and quite frankly the whole world that cares about winning the war on terror," former Bush chief of staff Andy Card told ABC News. Card said the news is "particularly significant" for the intelligence community.

"They're the ones who kept their nose to the grindstone and worked very hard to allow this day to be realized ... finally," he said.

His death brings to an end a tumultuous life that saw bin Laden go from being the carefree son of a Saudi billionaire, to terrorist leader and the most wanted man in the world.

Bin Laden created and funded the al Qaeda terror network, which was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The Saudi exile had been a man on the run since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan overthrew the ruling Taliban regime, which harbored bin Laden.

In a video filmed two months after the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden gloated about the attack, saying it had exceeded even his "optimistic" calculations.

Well, Osama was the reason we went into Afghanistan, so I guess the war there is over and everyone gets to come home now, right?

Funny but kinda sad...

One man for hundreds of thousands. Hardly seems fair.

A hollow victory, if we should even call it a victory at all.

The pic of his dead face going around looks kinda fakey.

But I guess we'll see by tomorrow, if it's anything like Saddam, Uday and Qusay there will be exhaustive photographic evidence.

word. It's been a part of my whole adult life. It's funny the kid I'm expecting is going to grow up in a world where 9/11 and Osama are history, and it'll only be something they hear about.. I dunno..

It's going to be interresting once more facts are out.
