Osama bin Laden is the founder of the terrorist organization Al Qa'eda and was the most wanted terrorist by US government authorities. Bin Laden was the supposed mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US and was in hiding for nearly a decade. In 9/11 over 3,000 people died. He was killed on May 1, 2011 by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and four men, including Osama, died in the attack. No American was wounded or killed. President Obama ordered the attack after receiving intelligence of bin Laden's location in a compound in Pakistan.
