The death of Laden

Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization, died at the age of 54. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, he had evaded capture for a decade. Now, agents from the U.S. military and the Central Intelligence Agency have discovered Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A firefight ensued, resulting in Bin Laden's death. U.S. officials stated that Bin Laden was given a sea burial off the coast of Afghanistan.
