Bin Laden Was a Failure for the Last Six Years of His Life

Up until Navy SEALs killed him in Abbotabad, Pakistan on May 2, Osama bin Laden was undoubtedly the world's most-wanted terrorist. But, according to a report today, he wasn't exactly living up to that title for the last six years of his life. U.S. officials tell Reuters that, based on circumstantial evidence from bin Laden's compound, the "last successful operation" the al-Qaeda leader oversaw was the group's 2005 suicide bombings of London's transit system. Bin Laden hadn't been personally linked to the attacks until recently.
