How Bin Laden Was Killed

Straight out of a Bond movie:

The elusive al Qaeda leader was killed in a targeted assault in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, roughly 40 miles outside the capital city of Islamabad. The raid was conducted by a small helicopter-borne strike team. The team was on the compound for under 40 minutes[…] Omar Khan, a local resident in the area of the attack, said American and Pakistani commandos landed in the area at 1:10 a.m., local time, and raided a house. “The entire area was rocked with a massive explosion,” he said. “A massive exchange of firing took place which continued for more than half an hour.” Security forces have cordoned off the area.

We could witness some revenge action in the next few days, so expect a lot of security measures in whatever airport you might be heading to soon. But there is no doubt that this is a severe blow to Alqaeda..
