Bin Laden was killed in a firefight that lasted approx. 40-minutes. Three people on his side was killed, one was believed to be his son. The Americans didn't face any causalities. It's shocking to see that Bin Laden was living in a mansion this whole time, instead of being protected by an army of is people. To me it would of made sense to be around an army, but I guess he wanted to live in style right under people's nose. There are rumors that the Pakistani government were protecting Bin Laden. Seeing as he was located about an hour’s drive north from the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. He was hiding in the medium-sized city of Abbottabad, home to a large Pakistani military base and a military academy of the Pakistani Army.
Doesn't seem like Bin Laden was doing much if he was hiding the whole time. In a way he was nothing more than a former shell of himself. The only thing I can probably see him doing in a leadership type of way is making plans and have a messenger transfer them back and forth to his second in command. Ayman al-Zawahri will most likely take care of everything now. He probably was leading since the past decade when Bin Laden went into hiding.The death of Osama Bin Laden doesn't concern me much, but nonetheless its a good thing he is dead.. That is unless Al Qaeda lashes out in rage for revenge on the U.S. Then that might cause more problems than if he had died hiding. In America's eyes this was a great day and a victory over terrorism.
