1st Anniversary Killing of Osama Bin Laden 2012

A year passed since the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the man who lead the Al Qaeda group, which stood behind September 11 attacks.

On May 2, 2011, a Navy SEAL team of the US army conducted a sensitive military mission to a compound in the city of Obbottabat, about 100 kilometers north of Pakistan's capital Islamabad, that eliminated America's number one terrorist target.

In the last months leading to the raid, the CIA gathered enough credible and valuable information about the whereabouts of Bin Laden that Obama gave the command to begin with the operation under the codename 'Geronimo'.

Transported by 4 helicopters, the special forces entered the designated compound around 11 PM local time. At invading the compound, they got themselves in a firefight, resulting in a headshot and killing of bin Laden along with two of his bodyguards and one female person, who got shot in the leg and was allegedly the wife of Osama.

Following the news of the death of Osama bin Laden in the U.S., hundreds of people gathered in front of the White House in Washington and at Times Square in New York City to celebrate this historic event.

Survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks, finally received what was promised to them ten years ago by the Bush administration and that is the capture and killing of the man who unprecedently changed the course of U.S. history.
