Osama bin Laden
According to sources, Osama bin Laden has been killed by U.S. forces. President Obama is expected to make an announcement at 10:30 PM EST May 1, 2011.
It is thought that Osama bin Laden had been hiding in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He was killed after a firefight with the US miltary JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) at a compound outside the Pakistani capitol of Islamabad, after intelligence information revealed his position.
The US waited for DNA results to confirm the identity before going public with the news.
