WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. forces finally found al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden not in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan's border, but in a million-dollar compound in an upscale suburb of Pakistan's capital, with his youngest wife, U.S. officials said early on Monday.
They were led to the fortress-like three-story building after more than four years tracking one of bin Laden's most trusted couriers, whom U.S. officials said was identified by men captured after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
"Detainees also identified this man as one of the few al Qaeda couriers trusted by bin Laden. They indicated he might be living with or protected by bin Laden," a senior administration official said in a briefing for reporters.
Bin Laden was finally found -- more than 9-1/2 years after the 2001 attacks on the United States -- after authorities discovered in August 2010 that the courier lived with his brother and their families in an unusual and extremely high-security building, officials said.
"When we saw the compound where the brothers lived, we were shocked by what we saw: an extraordinarily unique compound," a senior administration official said.
"The bottom line of our collection and our analysis was that we had high confidence that the compound harbored a high-value terrorist target. The experts who worked this issue for years assessed that there was a strong probability that the terrorist who was hiding there was Osama bin Laden," another administration official said.
The home is in Abbotabad, a town about 35 miles north of Islamabad, that is relatively affluent and home to many retired members of Pakistan's military.
The building, about eight times the size of other nearby houses, sat on a large plot of land that was relatively secluded when it was built in 2005. When it was constructed, it was on the outskirts of Abbotabad's center, at the end of a dirt road, but some other homes have been built nearby in the six years since it went up, officials said.
WALLS TOPPED WITH BARBED WIRE
Intense security measures included 12- to 18-foot outer walls topped with barbed wire and internal walls that sectioned off different parts of the compound, officials said. Two security gates restricted access, and residents burned their trash, rather than leaving it for collection as did their neighbors, officials said.
Few windows of the three-story home faced the outside of the compound, and a terrace had a seven-foot (2.1 meter) privacy wall, officials said.
"It is also noteworthy that the property is valued at approximately $1 million but has no telephone or Internet service connected to it," an administration official said. "The brothers had no explainable source of wealth."
U.S. analysts realized that a third family lived there in addition to the two brothers, and the age and makeup of the third family matched those of the relatives -- including his youngest wife -- they believed would be living with bin Laden.
"Everything we saw, the extremely elaborate operational security, the brothers' background and their behavior and the location of the compound itself was perfectly consistent with what our experts expected bin Laden's hide-out to look like," another Obama administration official said.
A small U.S. team conducted a helicopter raid on the compound on Sunday afternoon, officials said. After 40 minutes of fighting, bin Laden and an adult son, one unidentified woman and two men -- identified as the courier and his brother -- were dead, officials said, and Obama was preparing a television address to the nation.
Abbotabad is a popular summer resort, located in a valley surrounded by green hills near Pakistani Kashmir. Islamist militants, particularly those fighting in Indian-controlled Kashmir, used to have training camps near the town.
kaya ako naniniwala na rin sa tsismis na si Ka Roger dyan lang forbes park nakatira.......![]()
I wont be surprised if I hear news that Osama is living in the US in a cage like Obama's pet or something, or working as an accountant somewhere in south americaor maybe they took some of his DNA to store with the DNA's of Gengis Khan, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and yes Chuck Norris and Gov Arnie so that someday they can genetically create a super leader that will lead the human race against invading aliens
Patay na talaga yan kung tinapon man yan sa dagat baka kasi pag nilibing pa yan, maging bayani pa yan sa mata ng mga followers niya at maging rallying point pa yung kanyang libingan. yung date ng kamatayan ni Hitler, walang kinalaman yan kay Osama, promise

Fishy ......
Baka mamaya eh nagrerejoice yung mga ugok na yung kung saan. :hysterical:
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!
balita na din sa KSA official newspaper...

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!![]()
Actually wala masyadong masama sa sinabi ng mga priests. Read it carefully.
Ayyy wala mahanap ng matino mainterview, para lang gumawa ng madalian report. It shows how babaw mga reporters natin. Next mga interview ng taga CHR, MILF, Jemah Islamiya...

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."
