Addressing his country on Sunday evening US time, United States President Barack Obama confirmed that top terrorist and al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is dead. The US is in possession of his body and bin Laden has been positively identified through DNA analysis.

Crowds gathered in front of the White House singing the national anthem as the news came out. Bin Laden was responsible for the mass terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC that resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon in the capital and in a plane crash in Pennsylvania.

"Justice has been done," President Obama said. "Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation" against bin Laden in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Beginning last August, the president said, the US obtained a possible lead to Osama bin Laden. "Finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice," he said, adding that the operation had been carried out together with Pakistan and that he had informed the Pakistani president about the situation.''DER SPIEGEL
