Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden is dead, according to US officials.
The US is in possession of Bin Laden's body, the reports say. President Barack Obama is due to make a statement shortly.
Bin Laden is top of the US most wanted list.
He is accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001.
The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a ground operation in a mansion outside Islamabad in an operation based on actionable US intelligence, CNN reported.
Crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington DC, chanting "USA, USA" after the news emerged.

US dollar and shares climb on news of Bin Laden's death
Many markets across the globe are closed for a holiday on Monday
The US dollar has rebounded, and stock markets have gained in Asia after US President Barack Obama said Osama Bin Laden was dead.
Oil prices slid more than 1%, while the price of gold and silver also dropped.
Analysts said Bin Laden's death was likely to lower security risks, and would help lift consumer sentiment in the US.
However, they warned that it would do little to ease the longer-term risks hanging over the US and global economy.
"There is some feel-good value and the market will like that," said Chip Hanlon of Delta Global Advisors.
But he added that: "It doesn't change much about the energy situation and doesn't change much about the ongoing battle with radical Islamist

It's obvious that the dead Osama image is based on the photo on the right. The bottom half is exactly the same, scaled and saved as a low quality JPEG several times in order to achieve the bad cameraphone look. The person who doctored the image then put it together with an anonymous corpse photo—which acts as the background—and made a bad job at clone stamping blood and bruises all over his face. The result is gross, but not convincing..........a in ti ve tlats!!!
