| The cover of a special issue of Time magazine on the death of Osama bin Laden is displayed on the Nasdaq screen in New York's Times Square. It is the fourth cover in Time's history to feature the red X. Other covers showed Adolf Hitler on May 7, 1945, Saddam Hussein on April 21, 2003, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on June 19, 2006. |
