Time magazine is releasing a special issue on the death of Osama bin Laden, scheduled to hit newsstands on Thursday, May 5, 2011.

Here's a bit of trivia: This is the fourth time a Time cover featured a red "X" over the face of a deceased person. The others? Adolf Hitler on May 7, 1945, Saddam Hussein on April 21, 2003, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on June 19, 2006.
