Almost 10 years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, on a late May 1, 2011 evening, US President Barack Obama made an announcement that bin Laden was killed by US operatives, which created a tremendous media impact on all social networks, TV news stations and radio stations.

The U.S. State Department has offered a reward of up to $25,000,000 for information that leads directly to his capture. On July 14, 2007 that reward was increased to $50,000,00.00.

Having married into the bin Laden family in 1974, she returned to her native Switzerland in 1985 in order to spare her daughters the restrictive and oppressive practices she'd experienced as a female in Saudi culture.
