President Barack Obama announced Osama bin Laden's death in a military operation. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched on May 1st in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, according to U.S. intelligence. After a firefight, a small team of American forces killed bin Laden and took possession of his body, the president said.
The announcement that Obama would speak came at 9:45 p.m., less than an hour before he was initially scheduled to go on the air. The unusual hour, and the fact that the White House gave no details about the topic, set off a flurry of speculation
The State Department is putting U.S. embassies on alert and is warning Americans abroad of possible reprisal attacks from al Qaeda and its affiliates around the world after the killing of the group's leader Osama bin Laden by American forces in Pakistan.
