President Obama heralded Osama bin Laden's death as a major milestone in the war against al Qaeda, and "justice" for family of the nearly 3,000 victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.Obama said the operation carried out Sunday afternoon in northwest Pakistan resulted from "years of meticulous work" by intelligence agency that yielded clues to bin Laden's whereabouts starting last summer.


"I met repeatedly with my National Security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located Bin Laden thrashing within a compound deep inside Pakistan," Obama said in an address from the East Room of the White House Sunday night."in conclusion, last week I determined that we had enough cleverness to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice," Obama said.
