Captured Afghan al Qaeda members sit on a bench as they are presented to the media in Tora Bora, in this file picture taken December 17, 2001. Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed May 1, 2011 in a firefight with U.S. forces in Pakistan and his body was recovered, President Barack Obama said on
Sunday. ''Justice has been done,'' Obama said in a dramatic, late-night White House speech announcing the death of the elusive mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people. Bin Laden had been hunted since he eluded U.S. soldiers and Afghan militia forces in a large-scale assault on the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan close to the Pakistan frontier in 2001.
