Yes. Terrorist Osama bin Laden has been killed, likely in an explosion near one of his caves he was hiding in after 9/11. Of course, the government doesn't want to admit it, because:
1. they don't have concrete evidence (read: his head isn't sitting in the Oval Office on a silver platter)
*and*
2. if they did admit that they killed bin Laden, the uneducated Muslim community would see it as an admission of America being a bully, picking on the weak, backward countries like Afghanistan, making greater their hatred of our country.
One may ask, "if bin Laden is dead, and it would be good for the terrorists if we admitted that we killed him, then why don't the terrorists say he's dead?" That's a good question, but the explanation is simple: it would be an admission that their fearless leader isn't invincible, and that it would be a serious blow to have come from the terrorist network itself, not anybody else.
For now, however, the terrorists have enough look-alikes to star in their fuck-you videos released to America glorifying their acts of villainy, and the government here is content to feed patriotic fever directed against an enemy that actually has a face, not a shadowy network of unnamed souls. So, our government and al-Qaeda have an unspoken pact that makes both of them look good. It makes me sick.
