A little under 10 years after he orchestrated the most horrific terrorist attack in American history, Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces in Abbotabad, near Islamabad in Pakistan. US president Barack Obama made a televised speech on Sunday night, announcing the death of America's most-wanted man, who had a bounty of $25 million on his head. The news was greeted by instant cheers across the world, also bringing closure to the kin of victims of the 9/11 attacks.

Let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores. -- Barack Obama
