PHOTO: Hunting for the World's Most Wanted Man

Terrific White House photo (above) released. Members of the national security team get an update on Sunday's mission against bin Laden. See FPage of the Washington Post.

THE MAN WHO BLOGGED THE RAID
For those who missed, the guy who unwittingly live-blogged the raid from Pakistan, click here for details.

'GERONIMO-E KIA'
That was the code message used to convey bin Laden had been killed. From ABCNews: "Geronimo" was the code word for mission. "E" stood for the enemy. And "KIA" meant killed in action. That was the message from a Navy SEAL in Pakistan. President Obama later would say with certainty, "We got him," ABCNews reports.

COURIER CONNECTION
Amazing details from ABCNews about a courier, and likely confidant of bin Laden, who attracted the attention of U.S. officials. They tracked the courier and were led to a giant mansion in the city of Abbottabad, north of the capital of Islamabad. 12- to 19-foot walls. 8X the size of other homes. No phones. Click here for the full ABCNews story.

CNN has a more detailed look at the courier trail, go here.

Any reaction from the widow of Daniel Pearl, the WSJ reporter who was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in early 2002? I haven't seen/read anything ... Are her legal actions preventing her from commenting? Just curious.
