CNN Domestic and CNN International are currently in continuing breaking coverage with the news that U.S. forces have killed Osama bin Laden. No word yet on overnight schedule changes from CNN, but we expect CNN Domestic and CNN International to continue simulcasting rolling coverage in the hours ahead.


A rough timeline of how events on CNN have unfolded so far on Sunday night...

- During the 10:00pm (eastern) hour, Wolf Blitzer replaces Don Lemon on air after word broke of an unscheduled announcement from President Obama. John King is in Washington with analysis and additional reporting.

- Speculation on what the announcement could be builds, with early reports from sources suggesting that the U,S. had killed Osama bin Laden.



- Announcement from Obama was timed for 10:30pm (eastern); this was delayed by almost an hourr.

- CNN receives confirmation from 3 intelligence sources that Osama bin Laden is dead.

- Shortly after 11:15pm (eastern) President Obama announced to the world that bin Laden had been killed during a U.S. operation in Pakistan.

- 12:14am (eastern) - CNN security expert Peter Bergen says the death of bin Laden is the "end of the War on Terror". Not clear if Mr. Bergen just mispoke, or whether he meant to say that. It seems to be at odds with what we've heard from his analysis in the past.
