奥巴马将会见袭杀本拉登的海豹队员

2011-05-07来源:VOA

U.S. President Barack Obama will meet Friday with members of the elite military team involved in the raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. 

The president will travel to the Fort Campbell army base in the state of Kentucky to personally thank participants in the early Monday raid on bin Laden's compound. Administration officials said Mr. Obama will privately meet with participants before making public remarks. 

White House spokesman Jay Carney described the raid participants who will be meeting President Obama as "special operators," but would not say if they include the Navy SEALs who carried out the raid and did the actual shooting.

Carney said the U.S. is being, in his words, "extremely vigilant" about possible retaliatory attacks by al-Qaida.

In his public remarks, the president will commend soldiers who have recently returned from Afghanistan.
