Bin Laden was located at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which was monitored and when the time was determined to be right, the president said, he authorized a “targeted operation." A small team of Americans carried out the operation. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. DNA testing confirmed that it was bin Laden.
Obama said that he was briefed last August on a possible but "far from certain" lead to bin Laden, but it took many months for the intelligence community to run this thread to ground. Then they developed more information about the possibility that they had located Bin Laden.
Sources said the attack was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command forces working with the CIA.
Bin Laden's death brings to an end a tumultuous life that saw him go from being the carefree son of a Saudi billionaire, to terrorist leader and the most wanted man in the world.
