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.

2030: China Owns America?
This is a must-see, from Citizens Against Government Waste. Regardless of your political leanings, you must admit this is a realistic scenario, some would say inevitable, unless the U.S. federal government takes a radically different approach to spending and borrowing real quick.
There is the trend, though history for things to get more complex, as culture, technologies, political structures and mechanisms get more complex. Therefore China “owning us” may be more a more complex, unclear and abstract scenario than historical instances of one nation conquering another, but a very real ownership nonetheless.
