Before we can dwell on the mission of how Osama Bin Laden was killed as told by Matt Bissonnette in his book No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden, we can dwell a bit on the life and times of this inhuman terrorists of our times.

Osama married early in his life, at the age of 17 years in 1974; he married Najwa Ghanem. Osama would later divorce her. Osama also married other wives as allowed in the Islam religion as follows. In 1983 he married Khadijah Sharif and 2 years later in 1985 he married Khairiah Sabar followed closely by his marriage to Siham Sabar in 1987. During his killing on 2nd of May 2012, Osama was found with a woman and some children, the Kuwaiti woman is said to have been his wife. However, Osama's last known wife is Amal al-Sadah, whom he married in the year 2000. With so many wives, Osama is said to have over 20 children from his different wives.

Osama bin Laden was born in a very wealthy and influential family from Saudi Arabia, his father died when Osama was only 10 years old in a 1967 plane crash. Bin Laden family seems to have bad luck with aircrafts as Salem bin Laden; Osama’s half brother from one his father’s wives died in a plane crash in 1988. Both deaths of his father and his half brother were accident due to human errors as the pilot of his father’s ill fated plane misjudged the landing distance while his half bother’s plane crash was due to hitting high voltage wires in Texas.

Said to be “soft spoken” and “well mannered” by those who knew and met him, Osama Bin Laden caused a lot of pain to families in the whole world, stretching from Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 when his bomb at the American Embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam killed over 200 people, the September 11 Twin Tower bombing in the USA and many other terror attacks.

However on the success of the US Navy SEAL Team Six, in a mission known as Operation Neptune Spear, Osama was shot dead in his private home in Abbottabad in Pakistan on 2nd May, 2011. Osama was aged 54 years old when he died and was buried in the sea the same day by American Soldiers.

The number of the US Navy SEAL in the mission was 24 highly trained soldiers, who defied all odds including a helicopter crash to succeed in this mission and saved the world by killing one of the most notorious, cold blooded human being to have ever walked on this earth. The Helicopter that crashed landed abruptly in the Osama's compound with its rotor suspended on the perimeter wall of the compound, this was one of the two helicopters used in this mission to ferry the 24 US Navy SEAL soldiers for this crucial mission.

This crucial mission to kill Osama Bin Laden took 38 minutes in total. It is said Osama Bin Laden 3 story house in Abbottabad was under constant surveillance by US Military. Four members of Al-Qaeda were killed in this operation.

Osama Bin Laden has been in the world’s most volatile spots with his Al-Qaeda terrorists. His first battle field was in the Afghanistan with Mujahedin fighting the Soviets in the 1980s, he would later go to Sudan and establish terrorists training camps in the Sudan’s Sahara desert before Sudan, due to USA and Saudi government pressure put him on a charter plane to Afghanistan where his Al-Qaeda continued with series of terror attacks targeting innocent people in the entire world.
