“Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the 11 September 2001 attacks and the world’s most wanted man, has been killed in a US operation in north-western Pakistan, [President] Barack Obama has announced. ‘Justice has been done,’ the US president said in a statement that America has been waiting a decade to hear. A US official said Bin Laden had already been buried at sea.”
