Osama Bin Laden (Pictured above) was shot and killed on May 2, 2011 (May 1 in our time standard) in Abbottabad, Pakistan by one of six U.S. Navy Seals who were on a secret mission, by orders of Commander and Chief of the U.S. Army President Barack Obama, to capture or kill the world's most wanted terrorist.
Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City back in 2001 in addition to attacks on the Pentagon and Flight 93.
On, March 1st (Pakistani time), President Obama authorized the raid "Operation Neptune Spear", on the compound where Osama Bin Laden was living in. On May 2, 2011 (Pakistani time), a helicopter landed in the compound, where Osama Bin Laden was known to have lived in since February (from a source inside the compound), and six U.S. Navy Seals went in on the attack to capture or kill the terrorist.
The raid was successful and as a result, the most wanted terrorist was killed. The death of Osama Bin Laden certainly brought closure to many families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks or in the wars that were brought on from 9/11.
May 2, 2011 is definitely a day to remember.
