Osama bin Laden is dead. There is photo and DNA evidence verifying the death of the Al Qaeda leader, who died during a raid by the U.S. Navy Seals. The Seals had been practicing the raid for about a week after they learned the exact location of bin Laden. The Seals received help from the CIA, and the evidence collected goes back over 4 years. The CIA had been tracking a trusted courier of bin Laden. Authorities say the courier covered very well his whereabouts.
Bin Laden was thrown into the ocean after a normal Islamic funeral.
Barack Obama told the U.S. about the attack on May 1, 2011, exactly 8 years after Bush declared war.
