Wait, seriously? When did this happen?

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.

This is one story covering about it.

Pardon me for not caring, even if it is true. Just too long a gap for any real effectiveness, and I'd have my doubts about it anyway.

It's mostly the symbolic impact, the organizer of the 9/11 attacks finally brought down. A victory, however small in actual impact.

@Thatguy A major victory for Americans. He may not have had much tactical impact nowadays but he was known as THE man responsible for all those deaths on 9/11 and I imagine alot of families are going to feel joyous now.

Since my sister was one of the ordinary New York City workers who could have easily died on 9/11 I must say I do feel a more than a slight sense of justice well served from this.

I reserve my comments.

EDIT: For completely unbiased comments - anyone who says "this is a small victory" is absolutely correct. Terrorism has never been the work of one man.

Hell yeah! Good news if there ever was. That said, I've been thinking he's actually been dead for a few years now. Either way, if this is true, that's one of the big prizes in the game of war, though it's unfortunately naive to assume this'll mean the end of it. Still, cause for celebration.

I think everyone aware that this is simply a symbolic victory. And some closure now that we know the bastard is FINALLY dead.

Even though it won't really change much, it still good to know that that karma got him in the end.

I'm assuming from the method we are being given this news he was merely shot or such.

Let's hope it wasn't an Instant Death Bullet

^^^^From what little I heard he was wounded in an explosion, captured, and then died from those wounds. Don't trust this.

I'm sorta disappointed, when my grandchildren ask me where I was when I heard the news I'll have to say playing video games in my house coat :(
