Excerpt:

On May 1, 2011 in Washington, D.C. (May 2, Pakistan Standard Time), U.S. President Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden was killed by "a small team of Americans" acting under Obama's direct orders, in a covert operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan,[8][153] about 50 km (31 mi) north of Islamabad.[154] According to U.S. officials a team of 20–25 US Navy SEALs under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command and working with the CIA stormed bin Laden's compound in two helicopters. Bin Laden and those with him were killed during a firefight in which U.S. forces experienced no injuries or casualties.[155] According to one US official the attack was carried out without the knowledge or consent of the Pakistani authorities.[156] In Pakistan some people were reported to be shocked at the unauthorized incursion by US armed forces.[157] The site is a few miles from the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul.[158] In his broadcast announcement President Obama said that U.S. forces "took care to avoid civilian casualties."[159] Details soon emerged that three men and a woman were killed along with Bin Laden, the woman being killed when she was "used as a shield by a male combatant".[156] DNA from bin Laden's body, compared with DNA samples on record from his dead sister,[160] confirmed bin Laden's identity.[161] The body was recovered by the US military and was in its custody[153] until, according to one US official, his body was buried at sea according to Islamic traditions.[154][162] One U.S. official stated that "finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult."[163] U.S State Department issued a "Worldwide caution" for Americans following Bin Laden's death and U.S Diplomatic facilities everywhere were placed on high alert, a senior U.S official said.[164] Crowds gathered outside the White House and in New York City's Time Square to celebrate Bin Laden's death.[165]
