Around 11 p.m. ET, President Obama is set to make a highly unusual Sunday night live statement to announce the news.
Ending a nearly 10-year manhunt, "actionable U.S. intelligence" led to the strike that killed Bin Laden, the criminal mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that left 3,000 people dead.
The news spread quickly on Twitter after the White House announced that President Obama would make a late-night statement Sunday. The first confirmation came when Keith Urbahn, the Chief of Staff for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, tweeted: "I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden."
