World's most-wanted terrorist Bin Laden killed in Pakistan: "ISLAMABAD, May 2 (Xinhua) -- The world's most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden was killed in a joint operation launched by the U. S. and Pakistani armed forces early Monday morning in a small mountainous town near Pakistan's capital city Islamabad.
According to the local media reports, Bin Laden was killed along with his son, one woman and three followers in the joint military operation kicked off in the wee hours of Monday. Twelve people including six children, two wives of Bin Laden and his four close friends were also reportedly arrested in the operation.
The news about the death of Bin Laden in Pakistan has proven true about the long-time speculation that Bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda and the allegedly mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States in 2001, is hiding in Pakistan.
Local media quoted Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) sources as saying that the military operation which was mainly done by the U.S. special task forces on the ground was carried out on the tip-offs of Pakistani intelligence organizations."
