Bin Laden death live-tweeted

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

On the 5th anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's killing, the US Central Intelligence Agency has decided to live-tweet the sequence of events that led to the al-Qaeda leader's death, as if everything was happening today. Some have criticised the move, calling it "grotesque and embarrassing". As flooding continues in Nairobi, many are asking questions about the quality of building standards and planning in the city. And, hours before a key Premier League match, Leicester City fans wait anxiously for a title that could come as soon as tonight.
