OSAMA BIN LADEN is DEAD!

[kotiko]

Mukhang pang video games yung plot na nangyari! Reminds me of the Fidel Castro bit in the Black Ops story mode, hehe

Seriously that mission would have probably been very exciting to those who did it. I sure do hope legit photos would come out soon enough. Probably the guys from the US team smiling next to the dead carcass!

WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD: Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed on Sunday in a raid by US forces in Pakistan and his body was recovered, President Barack Obama announced on Monday.
In a dramatic late-night statement at the White House, Obama said Bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was killed in an operation led by US troops.
US and Pakistani officials said Bin Laden was killed in a helicopter raid on a mansion in an area north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
Four helicopters launched the attack in the Bilal area of Abbottabad, about 100 kilometers north of Islamabad, said a Pakistani intelligence official. One of the helicopters crashed after it apparently was hit by fire from the ground, the official said. He gave no word on casualties.
He said the helicopters took off from a Pakistani air base in the north of the country.
Women and children were taken into custody during the raid, he said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
A US official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the raid was on a mansion close to Islamabad.
Announcing the operation in a televised statement in Washington, President Barack Obama said the operation took place Sunday.

'Justice has been done'
A jubilant crowd gathered outside the White House as word spread of Bin Laden’s death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade.
“Justice has been done,” the president said. “The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of men, women and children.”
It is a major accomplishment for Obama and his national security team, after many Americans had given up hope of ever finding Bin Laden.
A crowd gathered outside the White House to celebrate, chanting, “USA, USA.”
Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, who was in office at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, said on Sunday the death of the Al-Qaeda leader was a “momentous achievement.”
Bush says he has congratulated President Obama after hearing about the news from Obama himself, who called to tell him that US forces had killed Bin Laden.
“This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done,” Bush said in a statement.
Bush, had repeatedly vowed to bring Bin Laden to justice “dead or alive” for the attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people, but never did before leaving office in early 2009.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Americans have kept their promise after Sept. 11, 2001, to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden.
Bloomberg says the killing of the terrorist leader doesn’t lessen the suffering Americans experienced at his hands the day the World Trade Center was destroyed but is a “critically important victory” for the nation. He says it’s a tribute to the men and women in the armed forces who’ve fought so hard.
The 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is just months away.
Bloomberg says in a statement he hopes news of Bin Laden’s demise will “bring some closure and comfort to all those who lost loved ones” that day.
US officials said that after searching in vain for the Al-Qaeda leader since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist was killed in the Pakistani town of Abbotabad and his body recovered.
Having the body may help convince any doubters that Bin Laden is really dead.
He had been the subject of a search since he eluded US soldiers and Afghan militia forces in a large-scale assault on the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan in 2001.
The trail quickly went cold after he disappeared and many intelligence officials believed he had been hiding in Pakistan.
While in hiding, Bin Laden had taunted the West and advocated his militant Islamist views in videotapes spirited from his hideaway.
Besides Sept. 11, Washington has also linked Bin Laden to a string of attacks — including the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the warship USS Cole in Yemen.

Prelates: Killing of Bin Laden ‘unjustified’


MANILA, Philippines—Some Catholic bishops, reacting to the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, said that although his killing was “unjustified,” it was a "big deal" in curbing terrorist violence in the world.

"Although [his death] is a [form] of violence and no act of violence can be justified... it's a big deal to curb violence," Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez said in a phone interview with reporters on Monday.

Iñiguez, who is also head of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines Public Affairs Committee, hoped that the killing of Bin Laden, the architect of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon almost 10 years ago, would pave the way for the decline of terrorist activities around the world, which have claimed many innocent lives.

Marbel Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez viewed Bin Laden's killing as a double-edged sword. The prelate said it was "good" that the world had one less terrorist to deal with.

"But it is bad because his loyalists will retaliate not only on military and policemen but on innocent civilians," said Gutierrez.

Security forces should protect the civilians from any possible reprisal of al Qaeda affiliate groups especially in Mindanao, he added.

The southern part of the Philippines has been a breeding ground for terrorist groups such as the Jemaah Islamiyah and the notorious Abu Sayyaf bandit group, believed to be behind several bombing attacks and kidnappings in the region.

Tell Bin Laden that they should bomb the asses of these Catholic bishops instead of those people at the World Trade Center. Baka matuwa pa ako!

How the US Killed Bin Laden in His Multi-Million Dollar Mansion

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

A U.S. helicopter landed on the roof of Osama Bin Laden’s mansion in Pakistan shortly after midnight Saturday, and Navy SEAL fighters burst out and surrounded the mansion’s 12-14-foot thick walls and killed Terrorist No. 1 in a 40-minute firefight. He was shot in the head after being given the opportunity to surrender, according to Fox News.

None of the American fighters were killed, but it was not disclosed if anyone was wounded.

SEAL (Sea, Air and Land) teams from three other helicopters, which landed on the huge acreage surrounding the building, participated in the raid on the multi-million dollar mansion of Bin Laden. His son also was killed in the operation, which was kept secret from Pakistan’s government because of the high probability of the presence of double agents.

One of the helicopters developed a technical malfunction after the operation, and American forces blew it up so nothing would fall into the hands of other terrorists.

Bin Laden’s presence in the mansion gave lie to the assumption that he had been hiding out in a cave in Afghanistan, which he may have done in the past.

In addition to the thick surrounding walls, other indications that the mansion was a hideout were the high windows and few access points.

Approximately two dozen Navy Seals participated in the secret operation, carried out between 1:30 and 2:30 a.m.

Besides Bin Laden, the U.S. soldiers killed two of his couriers, his son and a woman who was used to shield him, and captured two people. As reported earlier, Bin Laden’s body is in the hands of American officials and his identity has been confirmed through DNA testing.

The United States said it is "ensuring it [the body] is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner."

Motto: There is no Seal Team 6

Meet The 'Seal Team 6', The Bad-Asses Who Killed Osama Bin Laden
Robert W. Johnson | May 2, 2011, 7:43 AM

The military team that killed Osama Bin Laden is an elite special forces group unofficially called Seal Team 6.

Officially, the team's name is classified and not available to the public, technically there is no team 6. A Tier-One counter-terrorism force similar to the Army's elusive Delta group, Team 6's mission rarely make it to paper much less the newspaper.

It shows how important the publicity about Bin Laden's killing is to the U.S. that this morning, Team 6 is front pages news.

The members of Team 6 are all "black" operatives. They exist outside military protocol, engage in operations that are at the highest level of classification and often outside the boundaries of international law. To maintain plausible deniability in case they are caught, records of black operations are rarely, if ever, kept.

The development of SEAL Team 6 was in direct response to the 1980 attempt to rescue the American hostages held in Iran. The mission was a terrific failure that fell apart at many points and illustrated the need for a dedicated counter-terrorist team capable of operating with the utmost secrecy.

The Team was labeled 6 at the time to confuse Soviet intelligence about the number of SEAL teams in operation at the time. There were only two others.

Team 6 poached the top operatives from other SEAL units and trained them even more intensely from there. Even among proven SEAL's the attrition rate for Team 6 is reported to be nearly half.

There are no names available for current Team 6 members, but the CIA does recruit heavily from their numbers for their Special Operations Group, so it makes sense that they were chosen to work with the CIA on this mission.

Team 6 is normally devoted to missions with maritime authority: ship rescues, oil rigs, naval bases or land bases accessible by water. There are no waterways near Bin Laden's compound.

When a former Navy SEAL was called for a comment about this article all he could say was: "You know I'd love to help you man, but I can't say a word about Team 6. There is no Team 6."

Phone call by Kuwaiti courier led US spies to Bin Laden

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: May 3, 2011 22:56 Updated: May 3, 2011 22:56
WASHINGTON: When one of Osama Bin Laden’s most trusted aides picked up the phone last year, he unknowingly led US pursuers to the doorstep of his boss.
That monitored phone call, recounted by a US official, ended a years-long search for Bin Laden’s personal courier, the key break in a worldwide manhunt. The courier, in turn, led US intelligence to a walled compound in northeast Pakistan.
Inside the CIA team hunting Bin Laden, it always was clear that Bin Laden’s vulnerability was his couriers. He was too smart to let Al-Qaeda foot soldiers, or even his senior commanders, know his hideout. But if he wanted to get his messages out, somebody had to carry them, someone Bin Laden trusted with his life.
Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, detainees in the CIA’s secret prison network told interrogators about an important courier with the nom de guerre Abu Ahmed Al-Kuwaiti who was close to Bin Laden.
After the CIA captured Al-Qaeda’s No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he confirmed knowing Al-Kuwaiti but denied he had anything to do with Al-Qaeda.
Then in 2004, top Al-Qaeda operative Hassan Gul was captured in Iraq. Gul told the CIA that Al-Kuwaiti was a courier. In particular, Gul said, the courier was close to Faraj Al-Libi, who replaced Mohammed as Al-Qaeda’s operational commander.
“Hassan Gul was the linchpin,” a US official said.
Finally, in May 2005, Al-Libi was captured. Under CIA interrogation, Al-Libi admitted that he received the word through a courier. But he made up a name for the courier and denied knowing Al-Kuwaiti, a denial that was so adamant and unbelievable that the CIA took it as confirmation that he and Mohammed were protecting the courier. It only reinforced the idea that Al-Kuwaiti was very important to Al-Qaeda.
If they could find the man known as Al-Kuwaiti, they’d find Bin Laden.
Mohammed did not discuss Al-Kuwaiti while being subjected to waterboarding, former officials said. He acknowledged knowing him many months later under standard interrogation, they said.
It took years of work before the CIA identified the courier’s real name: Sheikh Abu Ahmed, a Pakistani man born in Kuwait. When they did identify him, he was nowhere to be found.
Bin Laden was famously insistent that no phones or computers be used near him, so the eavesdroppers at the National Security Agency kept coming up cold.
Ahmed was identified by detainees as a mid-level operative who helped Al-Qaeda members and their families find safe havens. But his whereabouts were such a mystery to US intelligence that, according to Guantanamo Bay documents, one detainee said Ahmed was wounded while fleeing US forces during the invasion of Afghanistan and later died in the arms of the detainee.
But in the middle of last year, Ahmed had a telephone conversation with someone being monitored by US intelligence, according to an American official, who like others interviewed for this story spoke only on condition of anonymity. Ahmed was located somewhere away from Bin Laden’s hideout when he had the discussion, but it was enough to help intelligence officials locate and watch Ahmed.
In August 2010, Ahmed unknowingly led authorities to a compound in the northeast Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where Al-Libi had once lived. The walls surrounding the property were as high as 18 feet and topped with barbed wire.
Intelligence officials had known about the house for years, but they always suspected that Bin Laden would be surrounded by heavily armed security guards. Nobody patrolled the compound in Abbottabad.
In fact, nobody came or went. And no telephone or Internet lines ran from the compound. The CIA soon believed that Bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, in a hideout especially built to go unnoticed. But since Bin Laden never traveled and nobody could get onto the compound without passing through two security gates, there was no way to be sure.
Despite that uncertainty, intelligence officials realized this could represent the best chance ever to get to Bin Laden. They decided not to share the information with anyone, including staunch counterterrorism allies such as Britain, Canada and Australia.
By mid-February, the officials were convinced a “high-value target” was hiding in the compound. President Barack Obama wanted to take action.
Obama tapped two dozen members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six to carry out a raid with surgical accuracy.
Before dawn Monday morning, a pair of helicopters left Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. The choppers entered Pakistani airspace using sophisticated technology intended to evade that country’s radar systems, a US official said.
The helicopters lowered into the compound, dropping the SEALs behind the walls. No shots were fired, but shortly after the team hit the ground, one of the helicopters came crashing down and rolled onto its side for reasons the government has yet to explain. None of the SEALs was injured, however, and the mission continued uninterrupted.
With the CIA and White House monitoring the situation in real time — presumably by live satellite feed or video carried by the SEALs — the team stormed the compound.
Thanks to sophisticated satellite monitoring, US forces knew they’d likely find Bin Laden’s family on the second and third floors of one of the buildings on the property, officials said. The SEALs secured the rest of the property first, then proceeded to the room where Bin Laden was hiding. A firefight ensued, Brennan said.
Ahmed and his brother were killed, officials said. Then, the SEALs killed Bin Laden with a bullet just above his left eye, blowing off part his skull, another official said. Using the call sign for his visual identification, one of the soldiers communicated that “Geronimo” had been killed in action, according to a US official.
Bin Laden’s body was flown to the USS Carl Vinson in the North Arabian sea, a senior defense official said. There, aboard a US warship, officials conducted a traditional Islamic burial ritual. Bin Laden’s body was washed and placed in a white sheet. He was placed in a weighted bag that, after religious remarks by a military officer, was slipped into the sea about 0600 GMT Monday.
