Relates Osama Bin Laden

Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden is dead, US President Barack Obama has announced
US forces took possession of Bin Laden's body after "a firefight"
He was discovered living in a compound in a town some 100km from Islamabad
His body has been buried at sea
The White House says it will not release a picture of Bin Laden's body, amid concerns it could prove inflammatory
Osama Bin Laden was unarmed when he was shot by US forces in Pakistan, but he resisted efforts to capture him alive, US officials say
US forces had faced immediate and sustained resistance from many other people in the compound who were armed, the White House adds
Bin Laden was killed in a raid by US special forces on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, some 100km from Islamabad. His body was buried at sea
White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan says material seized during the raid in Abbottabad could provide leads to the whereabouts of Ayman al-Zawihiri, thought to be al-Qaeda's deputy leader
US President Barack Obama has hailed the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden as a "good day for America"
Bin Laden was killed in a raid by US special forces on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, some 100km from Islamabad. His body has been buried at sea
He is believed to have ordered the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, as well as a number of other deadly bombings, and topped the US "most wanted" list
Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari has denied that the killing of Bin Laden in his country is a sign of its failure to tackle terrorism.
The director of the CIA has said the US decided not to share information with Pakistan, fearing Bin Laden could be tipped off.
