How did Dwayne Johnson Know Osama Bin Laden was Dead Before the Media Knew?

When President Obama officially announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, it was not entirely a surprise. After all, the media had been reporting this for a short time prior to the official announcement from President Obama. TV channels such as CNN and websites such as Yahoo were the first place I heard the news about Osama Bin Laden being killed. Up to this point everything seemed like a normal process.

The unusual part of this process is where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson enters the scenario. When I went to the Yahoo website in order to find out about Osama Bin Laden, I was very surprised that one of the Top 10 items being searched was not Osama Bin Laden. Instead, I saw that Dwayne Johnson was one of the top items being searched. At the time, I thought that The Rock must have a new movie being released. Similarly, I thought that the Yahoo website did not yet have enough time for people to learn about the death of Osama Bin Laden.

But I later learned that Dwayne Johnson wrote a post on Twitter that clearly revealed he knew Osama Bin Laden was dead prior to this news being reported by the media! The question is "how" was Dwayne Johnson able to acquire this information so quickly?

At 10:24 p.m. ET, Johnson Tweeted, "Just got word that will shock the world – Land of the free… home of the brave ... PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"

This is approximatley 45 minutes before media outlets such as TV stations, newspapers, and websites starting reporting this subject.

Some people have suggested that one of the Navy Seal team members that was a part of the attack is someone that Dwayne Johnson went to school with at the University of Miami. Other people have said Dwayne Johnson received a private message from one of his fans. But I'd like to know what you people have to say.

How do you believe Dwayne Johnson was able to learn about the death of Osama Bin Laden before the media?
