US President Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, was killed on Sunday by US special forces who stormed his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan using helicopters.
Four helicopters launched the attack in the Bilal area of Abbottabad, about 62 miles north of Islamabad, said a Pakistani intelligence official.
One of the aircraft crashed and burst into flames after it apparently was hit by fire from the ground, the official said. No American casualties have been reported.
The helicopters took off from a Pakistani air base in the north of the country.
