The Washington Post and NPR report that the 13-year old case against Osama bin Laden has been dismissed.
The Post says that:
The government filing lists bin Laden’s alleged crimes, and then states: “On or about May 1, 2011, while this case was still pending, defendant Usama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the course of an operation conducted by the United States.”
It also contains a declaration from George Z. Toscas, deputy assistant attorney general for counterterrorism and counterespionage in the Justice Department’s National Security Division. He certifies that the CIA and U.S. military personnel confirmed bin Laden’s death through DNA tests, facial recognition analysis and an identification of the body by one of his wives.
