As the United States nears the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed more than 3,000 people, President Obama announced Sunday night that the al Qaeda leader and mastermind of that horrific day, Osama bin Laden, has been killed.
随着美国超过3000人死亡的9.11恐怖袭击十周年纪念日的到来,奥巴马总统周日晚上宣布基地组织和这一可怕活动的策划者,奥萨马.本.拉登已被击毙。

cnn reports that a senior government official confirmed that bin Laden was shot by a small team of U.S. soldiers while in a mansion with family members outside of Islamabad. His body is now in American custody and is being handled according to Islamic customs. Three other adult men were killed in the firefight, including a son of bin Laden's, who was a senior member of the terrorist organization.
