From Yahoo! Finance:
"11:30AM: Although intelligence of yesterday's bombings incited only a muted reaction from the market, the rumor of Bin Laden's capture has lifted all of the major averages within reach of their respective session highs and the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 to their best levels of the morning... As a result, the oil services, banking, transportation, utility, retail, biotech, disk drive, networking, and computer hardware sectors, some of which had previously been in negative territory, are finding themselves above the watermark... The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are currently right below the unchanged line... NYSE Adv/Dec 1375/1594, Nasdaq Adv/Dec 1240/1597"
The capture may not be real (probably is not). But the post is a real one. The market is reacting to the rumor.
