Osama bin Laden (WS)

Osama bin Laden is the main antagonist of Warring Legends' War on Terror. He was the founder of al-Qaeda, the organization that was responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks worldwide. He was a Saudi Arabian, a member of the wealthy bin Laden family and an ethnic Yemeni Kindite.

Death
Osama bin Laden was shot and killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2011, shortly after 1:00 am local time by a United States military special operations unit.

Operation Nectune Spear was ordered by the United States President Barack Obama and carried out in a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation by a team of U.S. Navy SEALs from the United States Naval Special Warfare Group of the Joint Special Operations Command, with support from CIA operatives on the ground. The raid on Osama's compound in Abottabad was launched from Afghanistan. After the raid, reports at the time stated that U.S. forces had taken Osama's body to Afghanistan for positive identification, then buried it at sea, in accordance with Islamic law, within 24 hours of his death. Subsequent reporting has called this account into question; citing, for example, the absence of evidence that there was an imam on board the USS Carl Vinson, where the burial was said to have taken place.
