Bin Laden's death and burial

Abbottabad, Pakistan, about 35 miles north of the capital of Islamabad, is where a US military operation of elite Navy SEALs Team 6 confronted and killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The plot was even kept secret from the Pakistani government until it was completed. President Obama reportedly knew as early as last August that bin Laden might be hiding in Abbottabad.
