Osama Bin Laden's Death

Osama Bin Laden was a mass murderer and was the leader of the Al-Quaeda organization. He was the mastermind behind 9/11 that killed hundreds of innocent Americans and took out two buildings. Osama Bin Laden was on FBI’s most wanted list for a long time because of these monstrous activities. It was until May 1st when a small group of Navy SEALs broke into his mansion and shot Osama Bin Laden.
Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead, Al-Quaeda scrambles to find a new leader. The FBI now has more time to look for other people on the FBIs most wanted list. Victims of 9/11 now feel at ease. We are still unsure of the future, but this is a sign of 0
