Osama bin Laden Dead

Osama bin Laden has been killed.

"I can report to the American people and the world that the United States has conducted an operation that has killed Osama bin Laden," President Obama said in an address to the nation Sunday night.

Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., was said to have been shot while in a remote region of Pakistan, and his body is reported to be in U.S. hands, according to CBS News. CNN quoted a senior U.S. official as saying that U.S. forces killed bin Laden in a mansion outside Islamabad. 

Some national security experts are calling this a major turning point in the war on terror.
