Osama Bin Laden was killed last night, on Sunday, by American special forces (Navy Seals and Delta Force members most likely) in a firefight.  Bin Laden was hiding in a luxory mansion in plain sight in a major city, Abottabad, Pakistan which is approximately 100 km away from Pakistan's capital.  The war on terror may have come to an end and the question that now remains is how will Afghanistan rebuild itself with the Taliban?  Will the Taliban lose its foothold now that the leader of Al-Qaeda is dead?  All we can do is hope that little by little, progress is made with cultural developments and connections as well.
