So we're in Afghanistan, we attacked Iraq, and we are somewhat engaged in Libya and a few other war zones, but we missed Osama bin Laden because he was actually in Pakistan, and apparently he has been there for quite awhile. He wasn't hiding in a cave either, but rather in a mansion close to the capital, kind of like the Beverly Hills district of Islamabad.
I've seen in some movies, starting with "Dr. Strangelove," where there is a "war room" with maps in it. Are we using the right maps now, or are we using old ones? Maybe we need a map update if the old maps are off?
Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted man, is dead, US President Barack Obama has confirmed. The al Qaeda leader, who is held responsible for the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11 2001, and the London bombings of July 7 2005, has been killed in a US operation in Pakistan.
Speaking from the White House, President Obama said: "Justice has been done."
A small team of Americans carried out the attack and took custody of bin Laden's remains, the president added.
An American official said bin Laden was killed in a mansion close to the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
