Politics / Al-Qeeda May 01, 2011 - 09:57 PM GMTBy: Nadeem_Walayat
Multiple sources are reporting that President Obama is to shortly announce that the master mind behind the 2001 Sept 11th attacks, Osama Bin Laden is dead and that the US has possession of his body.
Initial reports are that the Al-Qeeda leader was killed by a possible U.S. drone attack deep inside Pakistani territory nearly a week ago whilst living in a mansion in the suburbs of the Pakistani Capital, Islamabad.
Quick Analysis - Reports of the drone attack on the suburbs of Islamabad is probably false given the risks, and more probably the location is more remote i.e. not in the city of Islamabad or involved a none drone attack i.e. use of ground forces.
The delay in announcing his death were pending DNA test confirmation.
More details pending President Obama's statement within the next hour or so.
