We got him.

http://a57.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/U.S./660/513/laden4.jpgUsama bin Laden is dead, multiple sources confirm to Fox News.

President Obama is expected to deliver a statement from the White House Sunday night to discuss the major development.

Sources said bin Laden was killed by a U.S. bomb a week ago. The U.S. had been waiting for the results of a DNA test to confirm his identity.

The announcement comes nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks which started a tireless hunt for the terrorist mastermind and Al Qaeda leader.

He was killed just 100 klicks outside of Islamabad. I guess the Pakistani Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence finally failed him.

Edit:
From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698):
0714: Syed Riaz Hussain in Abbottabad, writes: "... The exact spot where this incident took place, is a stone's throw from the Pakistan Military Academy, Pakistan's equivalent of West Point."
