No, apparently it's not an April Fool's joke. Today on May 1st, 2011, the US conducted an raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan. After obtaining DNA confirmation, the announcement has just been made by US President Obama:
So Bin Laden has not lived to celebrate a 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. At least the Americans finally got their key enemy, even if there are plenty of others who can fill his place.
Can India claim the same for those who have terrorized and continue to terrorize it?
When will Manmohan ever make such speeches?
I suspect that the growing desperation of Pakistan over the War on Terror contributed to this raid. They must have finally realized that it was no longer worth it for them to continue allowing Bin Laden sanctuary on Pak soil. But is AlQaeda going to just go away because Osama has been killed? Only time will tell.

The sly Chinese must have insisted on Pakis to cleanse themselves of all American legacies before embracing them fully.
Obama succeeded on his fight against terrorism though many lives has been sacrifice due to bloodshed that took almost years . Now that Osama Binladen is Cold Dead Meat I hope the terrorism will ends on that. Too many died including innocent children. Lets unite to fight and stop any terrorism acts. http://www.facebook.com/osamaisdeadonmayday
