After the 9/11 terrorists attacks on the World Trade Centers in 2001, the man responsible for it all is dead. President Obama released this information on Sunday, May 1st at 10:35 P.M. The president gave a speech in the East room of the White House. He first stated that Osama Bin Laden had been shot down by American Troops in the place of which he was hiding, for nearly ten years.

"It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction," said President Obama during his speech to America.

The troops flew over Bin Laden's condo area, not planning on landing their vehicles, but that was changed when one malfunctioned. Troops then ran in, finding Bin Laden armed with a rifle, who then began to shoot. The troops shot him down, along with one of his many wives, sons, and others. No American troops were injured.

Troops then took his body on the helicopter and brought it back to the base. Although there are said DNA tests, many American's are skeptical on whether the news is true. Apparently no one has seen the body, and they claim his body is now somewhere in the ocean. Also, many think this is just a political gain for Obama as he will be running once again in the 2012 election.

Bin Laden's was put in the ocean because no country was willing to take it. America does not want to leave it in Bin Laden's home country in fear of a shrine being created for the mass terrorist.

Overall, the American people, along with the rest of the world cheered in happiness with the news of Osama Bin Laden's death. Crowds of people ran out to the streets, waving the American flag.
