Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands

Reader Tom Hudson, and now several others, have submitted the news that Osama Bin Laden is reportedly dead, and that his body is in the hands of the US military. A statement from President Obama is expected shortly. Watch this space for more details. Update: 05/02 04:01 GMT by T : More coverage at ABC News, at CNN, and at Al Jazeera. The reports say that Bin Laden was actually killed about a week ago by a bomb in Pakistan, and the time taken to confirm his identity via DNA testing helped delay the news. In downtown Austin, Texas, in the time since the story broke I've heard what sound like numerous celebratory gunshots.

Do you think that just by destroying Al-Qaeda terrorism will just magically vanish?
Then again, that's the beauty of it.
Did you think about your post for longer than it took to try for some cheap karma points? Because I can tell you most people who DO look at your post are going to analyze it critically and not just award random points.
