Deserted: Nestled among trees and in the shadow of Pakistan’s mountains, Bin Laden’s hideaway stands empty today after a helicopter raid by U.S. troops that killed the terror chief yesterday http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1382649/Osama-bin-Laden-dead-US-Navy-Seals-kill-terror-chief-near-Islamabad-Paskistan.html#ixzz1LDOe7Ano
According to two Obama administration officials, DNA testing has confirmed that it was, in fact, Osama bin Laden that was killed in yesterday’s U.S. strike in Abbottabad.

Osama Bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the 17th child of 52 children sired by one of the richest men in the country.
Osama’s father Muhammad died when he was 11 years old, and he grew up with his mother, stepfather and their three other children.
He studied at the elite Al Thagher Model School in Jedda, where the teachers were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist political group begun in Egypt that at the time promoted violent means to achieve Islamic governance.
Bin Laden went on to study civil engineering in Jedda, graduating in 1979. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December of that year, Bin Laden left to join the Afghan resistance, the mujahideen.
He fought in Afghanistan for six years, rising to the rank of a guerrilla commander by 1986. In 1988, heavily influenced by the writings of Sayyid Qutb and the teachings of Ayman al Zawahiri, he formed Al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda – Arab for ‘the base’ – was a group of ex-mujahideen funnelling money and fighters back to the resistance. Using his family’s fortune, Bin Laden developed Al Qaeda into a militant trans-national network.
He returned to Saudi Arabia but was soon exiled to the Sudan for his opposition against the American-allied monarchy.
Throughout the 1990s he launched a series of attacks on U.S. interests, including the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000.
Then came September 11.
After the attacks on America, Bin Laden went into hiding. He has been hunted by the U.S. as the world’s most wanted terrorist ever since.
