Terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday, May 1, 2011 (in Pakistani time, the killing happened around 2 a.m. on Monday, May 2, 2011).

Osama was killed by US troops on the ground in a 40-minute firefight commanded by President Obama. He was killed by a group of Navy SEALs (part of the Joint Special Operations Command - JSOC) and four men, including Osama, died in the attack. A woman, presumed to be one of Osama's wives, as also killed. No American was wounded or killed.

Osama was shot at least once in the head. He was later buried at in the North Arabian sea. President Obama ordered the attack after receiving intelligence of bin Laden's location in a compound in Pakistan. The US first received this intelligence in August 2010. Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has been in hiding for nearly a decade.
