Obama to speak shortly with details.

Update: Osama bin Laden dead

US President Barack Obama has confirmed the death of the world's most wanted man - Osama bin Laden.

A top secret operation involving US special forces was responsible for an attack on bin Laden’s hideout early today.

Obama said last week he authorised the operation to get bin Laden from his hiding place at Abbotabad, about 60km from Rawalpindi in Pakistan and a gateway to the spectacular Kagan Valley.

"After a firefight they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body" he said.

Mr Obama offered little details about the attack, but said Pakistani intelligence sources had been supportive of the operation.

US media reported that bin Laden was killed by military personnel from the US Joint Special Operations Command's Special Mission Units.

Navy SEALs from the Naval Special Warfare Development Group DEVGRU, an elite counter-terrorism unit were reported to have carried out the operation on the ground backed up by an RQ-170 drone overhead, the White House correspondent for the National Journal, Marc Ambinder, said.

The whole operation took about 40 minutes, CNN reported, citing its sources.

The stunning news was announced from the east room of the White House late on Sunday evening in a live TV broadcast (about 1.40pm Monday AEST) as crowds cheered outside.

"Justice has been done," he told the American people. "Today's achievement is testament to the greatness of our country."

This just shows that no matter what you do, no matter how far you run or try to hide the west will find you and the west *will* kill you if you fuck with us.

The pity is the motherfucker feels he'd be a martyr in death and welcomes it.

Should have made the guy immortal and fed him bacon and pig's blood for the rest of his days.

Or just rape him for the rest of his life in captivity.

According to channel nine, interrogated/captured al-Qaeda members were harping on about a nuclear weapon buried in Europe that will be used if anything was to happen to Osama.
