It's day two of Osama bin Laden's death dominating newspaper front pages. Yesterday, it was the "Rot In Hell"/"He's Dead"/"Justice is Done" headlines. Today, the main focus is on the U.S. Special Forces operation to take out the Al Qaeda leader: The Daily News says, "How We Nailed Him" while the Post blares, "How We Did It!" The NY Times and Washington Post offer diagrams of Bin Laden's compound. Newsday focuses on the time for the raid, while the Star-Ledger reflects on "Pride and Pain."
Of course, papers in other parts of the world only got to do their "Osama is dead" front pages today—here are front pages from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
