Osama Bin Laden Killed by U.S. Soldiers
By Justin Worsley,
Almost 10 years after one of the most devastating attacks on America, the man behind the attack has finally been caught.
On Sunday night, U.S. President Barrack Obama announced that the U.S. soldiers have killed Osama bin Laden in a mansion in Pakistan.
Bin Laden, who was the leader of an Afghanistan-based terrorist organization, Al Qaeda, organized an attack on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 and has since openly declared war on America.
Bin Laden, 54, hid around the Middle East for nearly 10 years, sending the U.S. videos and voice recordings over the years in order to end rumors that he had died.
The Joint Special Operations Command abducted bin Laden's corpse and brought it to the U.S. DNA samples from bin Laden's corpse was matched with his deceased sister to determine that it was him.
Prior to the 9/11 attacks, bin Laden was already an enemy to America. Bin Laden played a major role in the 1998 bombing of two U.S Embassies in Africa as well as the Oct. 200 attack of the U.S.S. Cole on a port in Yemen.
Bin laden is the son of a Saudi billionaire who was killed in a 1967 place crash which was piloted by an American who misjudged the landing. In the early 1980's, bin Laden began terrorist activities and inherited his family's wealth.
Operation on the mansion began last week and no civilians or Americans were harmed in the firefight.
