(CNN) -- Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil, is dead -- almost 10 years after the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
The founder and leader of al Qaeda was killed by U.S. forces Monday in a mansion in Abbottabad, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, U.S. officials said.
Four others in the compound were also killed. One of them was bin Laden's adult son, and another was a woman being used as a shield by a male combatant, the officials said.

I only hope the guy who shot him said something clever before pulling the trigger.
I like to imagine that it was something like that Simpsons scene when McBain bursts out of the ice and says "Ice to see you."
"'Been Hidin,'' huh?" BLAM "Found you."
Bleck. That photo is awful.
I'm thinking the guy shot his kneecaps off first, one for each tower.
