It was a raid by US Navy Seals on a safe house in Abbottabad. The Pakistani government assisted in the raid.
Hmm I read on CNN that the Pakistani government didn't know about this raid. He's sleeping with the fish now but are they gonna show some kind of proof that he was killed? I wish they would have captured him, he didn't deserve a fast death.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trust is a fragile thing. Once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Those we're closest to can betray us,and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.
The Pakistani government didn't know about it, you're right. It was carried out without informing them.
To be honest, it's good for morale, but I don;t see the point in all the jubilation. Until we know whether it's going to be a serious detriment to the "Jihad" or whether it'll fire them up even more making them doubly dangerous I wouldn't celebrate.
In the end, he's just one man. All of the jubilation and chanting going on all over the USA could actually be helping to give him popularity and martyrdom amongst his supporters.

despite the rejoice of the American people...this is not good.
...well unless your Obama, hello re-election.
Yeah exactly, I have a feeling this is going to do the same kinda thing that capturing Saddam did for Bush.
i don't often post political stuff, since there are many views of the world and situations that arise by our members.
i have not tolerance for liberals and i detest obama and his policies. this democratic government and this president have done more harm in 2.5 years and ran up more debt than any other country in HISTORY (not just US history). americans are waking up to the fact that government and liberal policies and this liberal president are damaging this country and draining their liberty. housing market.. fail- economy.. fail- deficit- fail.. illegal immigration- fail.. energy costs/production- fail... on and on-
with all of that said, the president obviously was involved with this raid and gave it the go ahead, even though this was on pakistani soil. so we should give the president and this administration AND the military personnel directly involved a big kudos for making it happen. i don't often side with the president (obama) but he WAS involved with this, GAVE the order, and therefore deserves a 'job well done' in this instance.
now, i still cannot vote for such a man, as i deeply disagree with his policies and vision for america, as well as the liberals in congress. are we really better off 2.5 years after the election of obama? most americans are saying hell no, and deservedly so. you can have good moments of governing in a massively failing presidency. as the saying goes..

congratulations navy seals and score one for the good guys. no matter how you look at this, murdering 3000+ everyday people as they work in their jobs day to day is wrong and deserves punishment. i am glad that he did not 'surrender', which would have just drug this all out longer and made a mockery.
After I heard about the sea burial, I started to say: " pics or it didn't happen"
seriously. -__-

Shot in the head, his face looks like its been given a good kicking when he was dead. Leaked photo from no doubt one of the soldiers which will cause a s***-storm when others see it who were sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden.
Expect the next couple of years to be not so good.
