Yay for the NAVY SEALS!!!!!!
According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.
Two Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men. Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.
One of the U.S. helicopters was damaged but not destroyed during the operation, and U.S. forces elected to destroy it themselves with explosives.
Hey, come to think of it, wasn't it Navy Seals who blew away those pesky Pirates? HA! Was it really Navy Seal Team 6? The same team that blew away the pirates in '09? Aka DEVGRU?
Update: Looks like an IT guy on break live tweeted the raid on Bin Laden.
Another update: Navy Seals is now a worldwide trending topic on Twitter. Woohooo!
