Terrorism, Osama Bin Laden Death | featured news

Meeting with Pakistani leaders, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the U.S.-Pakistan relationship is at a 'turning point' and that Islamabad needs to ramp up its cooperation in the fight against Al Qaeda militants. Her visit is seen as a fence-mending mission in the wake of the U.S. raid to kill Osama bin Laden, an operation that aggravated mistrust on both sides.

Former President George W. Bush, who spent years searching for Osama bin Laden, had two words for President Barack Obama when Obama told him of the al Qaeda leader's death: "Good call."

Leaders of the nation's largest police organizations, briefed in the aftermath of the raid on Osama bin Laden's Pakistani compound, have been told that there are no immediate threats of reprisals or active terrorist plots that have been gleaned from an initial review of intelligence seized from the compound, police officials told USA TODAY.

The Obama administration has seen no evidence Pakistan's leadership knew Osama bin Laden was living in that country before his killing last week by U.S. forces, the U.S. national security adviser said on Sunday.

Intelligence officials today unveiled five different videos of Osama bin Laden confiscated during the raid at his Pakistan compound. One of the videos shows the al Qaeda leader watching footage of himself.

The wealth of information pulled from Osama bin Laden's compound has reinforced the belief that he played a strong role in planning and directing attacks by Al Qaeda and its affiliates in Yemen and Somalia, senior U.S. officials said Friday.

President Barack Obama says the White House will not release a photo of Osama bin Laden's body.

Bit by bit, new details about the audacious raid that killed the world's most wanted terrorist trickled out Tuesday: Unexpectedly high temperatures caused a lumbering helicopter carrying elite commandos to make a hard landing. A woman killed in the raid is believed to have been the wife of the courier whose trail led to Osama bin Laden.
