The 9/11 mastermind was reportedly shot in the head in Pakistan and his body is in U.S. hands.

President Obama said he authorized the mission to make a move on Bin Laden last week — after several months of planning
  — and the attack went down today in the compound where the Al Qaeda leader was hiding. Bin Laden was killed after a firefight.

Bin Laden’s demise comes 9 years, 7 months and 20 days after the 2001 9/11 attacks.

Ironically, today marks the 8th anniversary of George W. Bush’s “mission accomplished”
 speech.
According to ABC News, the photos are pretty damn gruesome — with one report stating,
 “[Osama] has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.”

One U.S. official who has seen the photos tells ABC, “There’s no doubt it’s him.”
It was only a matter of time before Osama bin Laden was killed — because the most wanted man in the world was hunted down
 by the most secret, elite special ops unit in the United States Armed Forces.

The squad that fired two bullets into Osama bin Laden’s head yesterday is known as Team Six — officially called the Naval Special Warfare
 Development Group (or DEVGRU) — a military unit that recruits directly from the Navy SEALs … making it the absolute elite of the elite.

The Navy’s Team 6 is one of two ultra-secret “Tier One” US Special Ops counter-terrorism units — along with the Army’s Delta Force —
and falls under the Joint Special Operations Command (or JSOC).

The two Tier One units execute what are known as “black operations” — missions so secret, they fall outside standard military protocol …
 and often require the direct approval of the President.

In other words, only a select group of military personnel — including President Obama and his closest advisers — had any idea Osama bin Laden
had moments left to live yesterday.

The technology used by JSOC to track and kill Osama bin Laden is still classified — but according to reports, JSOC worked closely with the
CIA to procure the intelligence they needed to execute their mission.

The Pentagon claims bin Laden’s body went through traditional Islamic procedures before it was sent down to Davy Jones’ locker — procedures
which included a washing of the corpse.
