Osama bin Laden Survives Assasination Attempt
Osama bin Laden edged past death Monday, as the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six failed to kill one of the largest known terrorists on the planet. Matt Bissonnette, a member of the team, describes in his book, No Easy Day, that bin Laden had barely escaped using a convoy of unidentified jets out of Abbottabad, Pakistan at 00:32 hours.

I made a promise when I took office that I would protect the Pakistani people, and that was all that I did. In fact, even his men are fighting each other, so how can I be put to blame? If I had to make the decision again, I would, because the Pakistani people are my number one priority." -
