Osama Bin Laden has been killed by the U.S. military after a decade-long hunt to avenge the 9/11 attacks, President Barack Obama revealed today.

The leader of al Qaeda was killed today in a firefight with American soldiers in his $1million mansion hideout near Islamabad in Pakistan.

In a dramatic statement President Barack Obama said the U.S. military had recovered the body and confirmed to the world he had finally been caught.

‘Tonight I can report to the American people and the world that United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of
innocent men, women and children,’ he said.

‘Justice has been done’.

Within minutes of the news breaking Americans began gathering outside the White House to sing the national anthem and chant: ‘USA! USA!'

In a spontaneous outpouring of emotion, thousands started cheering and clapping and waving American flags to show their support.

In his televised statement Mr Obama said that bin Laden was killed in a helicopter raid by a small group of U.S.

Navy Seals who stormed his mansion in an affluent area 80 miles from Islamabad.
They were working on a tip which first surfaced last August after ‘years of painstaking work’ from the CIA and had taken months to run it into the ground.

‘Last week I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorised an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice,’ Mr Obama said.

'Today at my direction the U.S. launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

After a firefight they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.’
U.S. military posts around the world had been put on alert in case of retaliation attacks by Islamic radicals.

The State Department warned of the heightened possibility for anti-American violence after the news of bin Laden's death.

The department issued a worldwide travel alert shortly after Mr Obama's announcement.

Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the 17th child of 52 children sired by one of the richest men in the country.

Osama’s father Muhammad died when he was just 11 years old, and he grew up with his mother, stepfather and their three other children.

He studied at the elite Al Thagher Model School in Jedda, where the teachers were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist political group begun in Egypt that at the time promoted violent means to achieve Islamic governance.

Bin Laden went on to study civil engineering in Jiddah, graduating in 1979.

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December of that year, Bin Laden left to join the Afghan resistance, the mujahideen.

He fought in Afghanistan for six years, rising to the rank of a guerrilla commander by 1986.

In 1988, heavily influenced by the writings of Sayyid Qutb and the teachings of Ayman al Zawahiri, he formed Al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda – Arab for ‘the base’ – was a group of ex-mujahideen funnelling money and fighters back to the resistance. Using his family’s fortune, bin Laden developed Al Qaeda into a militant trans-national network.

He returned to Saudia Arabia but was soon exiled to the Sudan for his opposition against the American-allied monarchy.

Throughout the 1990s he launched a series of attacks on U.S. interests, including the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000.

Then came September 11.

After the attacks on America, Obama went into hiding. He has been hunted by the U.S. as the world’s most wanted terrorist ever since.
