Get to kill Bin Laden yourself in new video game on sale less that a WEEK after the real mission
With frightening speed, a popular online video game franchise is offering a virtual recreation of the mission to capture and kill Osama bin Laden.
In KumaWar Episode 107: Osama 2011, gamers can lead the team of U.S. Navy SEALs who raided the al Qaeda leader's compound in Abbottabad, and will get the chance to pull the trigger and end the terrorist's life themselves.
The new game, which is launched today, is the latest mission in a seven-year series of free online video games based on the war against terror.

Down to the last detail: Having scoured all media reports, and enlisting help from current and former military personnel, Kuma promises a relatively accurate three-dimensional playing field
Previous games have focussed on the invasion of Afghanistan (Kuma's first 'episode'), via the search for weapons of mass destruction or the hunt for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
But the timely release of the bin Laden game, the last in the series, is sure to prove both popular and controversial.
The New York-based Kuma Games has attracted more than 20 million gamers since launching in 2004, and programmers work with military personnel - both former and current - to add realism and accuracy to the interactive action.
Kuma's CEO Keith Halper told the Hollywood Reporter: 'We read the same published reports as everyone else, though I suspect with a different eye.

Target: Osama bin Laden proves highly elusive in the game, never in the same part of the Abbottabad compound and surrounded by defenders of varying numbers and resistance
'Since we have to reproduce events in 3D we care deeply about esoteric details like distances, heights, vegetation, furniture and the like that have to be re-created in the game.
'Sounds - dogs barking, helicopters orbits, pyrotechnics - those are important too. It's all available in the public sources, and there was a tremendous amount of data released.
Closure: Kuma Games CEO Keith Halper believes the game, the last in a seven-year series, will draw a line under the hunt for bin Laden

'But the magic is in piecing together the details from the million little clues order to create a convincing 3D environment.
Mr Halper, possibly sensing criticism from those who think the game is in poor taste, said he expected a large amount of people - from avid gamers to the merely curious - to download the free game.
He said many Americans would see it as a form of closure to the ten-year, multi-billion-dollar manhunt.
He said: 'Bin Laden was a bad man, and people feel relieved that he is gone. To be able to recreate his death is just an added bonus.'
Typical with Kuma's other online games, the mission will change each time it is played.
Gamers will run into varying strengths of resistance, bin Laden will always be in a different room or part of the compound.
And, unlike the reality of the mission, the SEALS can also encounter heavy casualties as al Qaeda henchmen will have weapons stashed throughout the playing field.
Mr Halper said: 'The SEALs must have been quick, smart, lucky or all of the above to have al Qaeda not be able to reach their weapons. Additionally, we see that the final rush up the stairs must have been incredibly perilous.
'Players will see all the key elements first-hand and gain a knowledge of the operation that would be difficult to obtain through traditional linear narratives.'
