From what I am hearing, we got intel in august of last year he hangs out where we got him. The Paki military runs a academy there. The call was made to send in Spec Ops, we did not tell the government about it (A good idea since the politicians like the Taliban) but did tell selected members of the Paki military. The compound went apeshit when they saw the helo's sweep in (As they should considering who they was protecting), and during the battle, a Paki Helo was shot down. DNA match confirms we got him.
At least, thats what I have gleaned from the media so far.
My analysis so far: Massive bump in morale accross the board, Obama takes credit (I will admit that he does deserve some for keeping the hunt alive in spite of what he said he would do during his campaign), and AQ goes apeshit: The loss of leadership from OBL will be felt, but it won't cripple AQ. Expect an uptick in activity over the next two years.
