The world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, is dead.

Bin Laden admitted to being the mastermind behind 9-11, the most devastating terrorist attack in the history of the United States and the catalyst for the War on Terror.

According to President Obama, bin Laden was killed by a U.S. military action.

Officials say bin Laden was shot, then buried at seas in the Islamic Tradition.  DNA testing is underway to confirm his identity. 

In a speech Sunday night, President Obama said:  "His demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity."
