How will al-Qaeda react? In the short term, the Obama administration is already bracing itself for possible revenge attacks. But for many the bigger question is whether, in the longer run, al-Qaeda can survive.

Since the start of the year, some experts have argued that the uprisings in the Arab world have rendered it irrelevant. They will see Bin Laden's death as confirming the trend. Perhaps.

But the root causes of radical Islam - the range of issues that enabled al-Qaeda to recruit disaffected young Muslims to its cause - remain, for the most part, unaddressed. The death of Bin Laden will strike at the morale of the global jihad, but is unlikely to end it.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by US forces in Pakistan, President Barack Obama has said.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a ground operation outside Islamabad based on US intelligence, the first lead for which emerged last August.

Mr Obama said after "a firefight", US forces took possession of his body.

Bin Laden was accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001.

He was top of the US' "most wanted" list.

Mr Obama said it was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda".

The US has put its embassies around the world on alert, warning Americans of the possibility of al-Qaeda reprisal attacks for Bin Laden's killing.

Crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington DC, chanting "USA, USA" after the news emerged.

A US official quoted by Associated Press news agency said Bin Laden's body had been buried at sea, although this has not been confirmed.

I called this 6 months ago. I said Obama will pull a rabbit out of his ass before the election because that is the only thing that will get him re-elected. Even used the capture or kill of Bin Laden as an example, and here it is.

That hardly makes you a Prophet.

Breaking news lol

Try explaining that to all of my disciples.

You may be able to convince Judas, but the rest of them will follow my words to the grave.

You don't ever feel it's all staged? You didn't think about that 25,000,000 Dollars we owe to the people who tipped him off, what if it was the terrorists who tipped em off and it was the whole plan to grow the bomber army? lol

Impeccable timing.

A new election on the horizon and something to take the people's mind of high gas and a poor economy. Who could hate on the gov or Obama when they just killed the guy who allegedly was responsible for 9-11?

That's politics. And very well played I might add.

Next up.... Gadaffi. Though it will be illegal, they will murder him and be heroes for it.

With Osama and Gadaffi both dead before the election, they can just give the presidency to Obama. No need to actually vote.
