  *May 2, 2011: Osama bin Laden, leader of Al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan by United States Navy SEAL Team 6. This surgical military strike comprised a small U.S. force transported by helicopters which raided his Abbottabad compound. The current presumptive Democrat presidential nomonee, Joe Biden, is on record as opposing the raid.

Bin Laden was the mastermind of numerous terrorist attacks against the United States and other Western powers, including the 2000 suicide bombing of the U.S. warship Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden and the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama, who monitored the raid in real time via footage shot by a drone flying high above Abbottabad, made a televised address from the White House, announcing bin Laden’s death. “Justice has been done,” the president said. After hearing the news, cheering crowds gathered outside the White House and in New York City’s Times Square and the Ground Zero site.

The operation ended a nearly 10-year search for bin Laden, following his role in the September 11 attacks on the United States.
