9/11 plotter Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama

Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was killed in an operation led by the United States, claims US President Barack Obama. A small team of Americans carried out the attack and took custody of bin Laden's remains, the president said in a dramatic late-night statement at the White House on Sunday.
