Crowds Chant USA USA As White House Announces "Obama bin Laden is Dead"
Fox News is reporting: Osama bin Laden is dead,
putting an end to the
worldwide manhunt that began nearly a decade
ago on Sept. 11, 2001. The architect of the
deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil was killed a
week ago inside Pakistan by a U.S. bomb.
President Obama announced the stunning
development during an address to the nation late
Sunday night from the White House.
"Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the
world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Usama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda."
The U.S. had been waiting for the results of a DNA test to
confirm his identity before going public. Sources said the
vice president informed congressional leaders late Sunday
night that the world's most wanted man had indeed been
killed.
