1 Obama: Al-Qaida head Osama bin Laden is dead Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that murdered thousands of Americans, was killed in an operation led by the United States, President Barack Obama said Sunday. "Justice has been done," said the president in a dramatic late-night announcement at the White House. A small team of Americans killed bin Laden in a firefight Sunday at a compound in Pakistan, the president said, and took custody of his remains. American officials said they were being handled in accordance with Islamic tradition. A jubilant crowd gathered outside the White House as word spread of bin Laden's death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade. Former President George W. Bush, who was in office on the day of the attacks, issued a written statement hailing bin Laden's death as a momentous achievement. "The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," he said. Obama said he ordered the operation after receiving undisclosed intelligence information. Senior administration officials said the terrorist mastermind was found inside a custombuilt compound with two security gates. They said it appeared to have been constructed to harbor one high- value target and that for undisclosed reasons, officials became clear the hideout was bin Laden's. Officials also said they believe the death puts al-qaida on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse, but there was no word on the whereabouts of bin Laden's second-incommand, Ayman al-zawahri. The stunning end to the world's most widely-watched manhunt came just months before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Centers and Pentagon, orchestrated by bin Laden's al-qaida organization, that killed more than 3,000 people. The attacks a decade ago seemed to come out of nowhere, even though al-qaida had previously damaged American targets overseas. The terrorists hijacked planes, flew one of them into one of Manhattan's Twin Towers -- and, moments later, into the other one. Both buildings collapsed, trapping thousands inside and claiming the lives of firefighters and others who had rushed to help them. A third plane slammed into the Pentagon, defacing the symbol of America's military night. A fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania after passengers overpowered the hijackers and forced the craft from the air -- before it could hit its intended target in Washington.

2 The attacks set off a chain of events that led the United States into wars in Afghanistan, and then Iraq, and America's entire intelligence apparatus was overhauled to counter the threat of more terror attacks at home. A senior administration official says Obama gave the final order for U.S. officials to go after bin Laden on Friday. The official added that a small team found their quarry hiding in a large home in an affluent suburb of Islamabad. The raid occurred in the early morning hours Sunday. Administration officials offered some details of the operation. Based on statements given by U.S. detainees, intelligence officials have known for years that bin Laden trusted one al-qaida courier in particular and they believed he might be living with him in hiding. In November, intelligence officials found out where he was living, a huge fortified compound in an affluent suburb of Islamabad. It was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet high, topped with barbed wire. There were two security gates and no phone or Internet running into the house. Intelligence officials believed the $1 million home was custom-built to harbor a major terrorist. CIA experts analyzed whether it could be anyone else, but time and again, they decided it was almost certainly bin Laden. Three adult males were also killed in Sunday's raid, including one of bin Laden's sons, whom officials did not name. One of bin Laden's sons, Hamza, is a senior member of al- Qaida. Obama spoke with Bush and former President Bill Clinton Sunday night to inform them of the developments. Obama struck a less than boastful tone in his brief announcement, although he said the death of bin Laden was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-qaida. " His death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al- Qaida will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant," he added. Moments after he spoke, American officials cautioned that the events could lead to heightened threats against the United States. Officials said the U.S. would ensure that bin Laden's body was handled in accordance with Islamic tradition.

3 A Bin Laden Hunter on Four Legs The identities of all 80 members of the American commando team who thundered into Abbottabad, Pakistan, and killed Osama bin Laden are the subject of intense speculation, but perhaps none more so than the only member with four legs. Little is known about what may be the nation s most courageous dog. Even its breed is the subject of great interest, although it was most likely a German shepherd or a Belgian Malinois, military sources say. But its use in the raid reflects the military s growing dependence on dogs in wars in which improvised explosive devices have caused two-thirds of all casualties. Dogs have proved far better than people or machines at quickly finding bombs. Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of United States forces in Afghanistan, said last year that the military needed more dogs. The capability they bring to the fight cannot be replicated by man or machine, he said. Maj. William Roberts, commander of the Defense Department s Military Working Dog Center at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, said the dog on the raid could have checked the compound for explosives and even sniffed door handles to see if they were booby-trapped. And given that Saddam Hussein was found hiding in a narrow, dark hole beneath a mud shack in Iraq, the Seal team might have brought the dog in case Bin Laden had built a secret room into his compound. Dogs are very good at detecting people inside of a building, Major Roberts said. Another use may have been to catch anyone escaping the compound in the first moments of the raid. A shepherd or a Malinois runs twice as fast as a human. Tech Sgt. Kelly A. Mylott, the kennel master at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, called dogs ideal for getting someone who is running away without having to shoot them. When the dogs go after a suspect, they re trained to bite and hold them, Sergeant Mylott said. Some dogs are big enough that, when they leap on a suspect, the person tends to drop to the ground, Sergeant Mylott said. Others bite arms or legs. Different dogs do different things, she said. But whatever they do, it s very difficult for that person to go any further. Finally, dogs can be used to pacify an unruly group of people particularly in the Middle East. There is a cultural aversion to dogs in some of these countries, where few of them are used as pets, Major Roberts said. Dogs can be very intimidating in that situation. Sergeant Mylott said that dogs got people s attention in ways that weapons sometimes did not. Dogs can be an amazing psychological deterrent, she said. There are 600 dogs serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that number is expected to grow substantially over the next year, Ensign Brynn Olson of the United States CentralCommand said. Particularly popular with the troops are the growing number of Labrador retrievers who wander off-leash 100 yards or more in front of patrols to ensure the safety of the route. A Silver Star, one of the Navy s highest awards, was awarded posthumously in 2009 to a dog named Remco after he charged an insurgent s hide-out in Afghanistan. The training of dogs in Navy Seal teams and other Special Operations units is Secondary Reading High School, Supplemental Articles 910 December 12,
4 shrouded in secrecy. Maj. Wes Ticer, a spokesman for United States Special Operations Command, said the dogs primary functions are finding explosives and conducting searches and patrols. Dogs are relied upon, he continued, to provide early warning for potential hazards, many times, saving the lives of the Special Operations Forces with whom they operate. Last year, the Seals bought four waterproof tactical vests for their dogs that featured infrared and night-vision cameras so that handlers holding a three-inch monitor from as far as 1,000 yards away could immediately see what the dogs were seeing. The vests, which come in coyote tan and camouflage, let handlers communicate with the dogs with a speaker, and the four together cost more than $86,000. Navy Seal teams have trained to parachute from great heights and deploy out of helicopters with dogs. The military uses a variety of breeds, but by far the most common are the German shepherd and the Belgian Malinois, which have the best overall combination of keen sense of smell, endurance, speed, strength, courage, intelligence and adaptability to almost any climatic condition, according to a fact sheet from the military working dog unit. Suzanne Belger, president of the American Belgian Malinois Club, said she was hoping the dog was one of her breed and that it did its job and came home safe. But Laura Gilbert, corresponding secretary for the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, said she was sure the dog was her breed because we re the best!
