（单词翻译）

But first, new details on the death of Osama bin1 Laden2, the man behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The raid by U.S. forces that killed bin Laden also recovered intelligence information that American officials are reviewing now. Hard drives, computers, DVDs, sound drives, all of that was pulled out of the compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was staying. Authorities hope it could offer clues to help prevent future terrorist attacks and help break up the al Qaeda terrorist network.

This animation3 gives you a general idea of how the raid took place. Helicopters landed inside the compound, dropping off Navy SEALs. They went floor to floor, clearing the building. One of the helicopters crashed because of mechanical failure. It was blown up by the U.S. forces before they left. The SEALs shot and killed bin Laden after he resisted, and then they carried his body out of the building.

The operation wasn't run from the White House, but the president and his top national security advisers4 watched the raid happened in real time. You can see the president, the vice5 president, secretaries of state and defense6. The U.S. counterterrorism leader said for the people in that room, it was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time in their lives.

What your saying about bin Laden’s death?

Dalton: It’s relieved to know that bin Laden is dead. Hopefully in the coming years, we can put an end to al Qaeda and the deaths they have caused

Brittney believes bin Laden’s death doesn’t change much in the war on terrorism. “We will still be in a war in Afghanistan, and we should have been able to capture Osama more quickly.” She writes.

Claton is happy the U.S. found and killed bin Laden, says many people, including a firefighter from Claton’s family , were killed in the 9/11 attacks.

Alsa thinks it’s wrong to ever be cheering someone’s death, and says the world isn’t going to be safer overnight. She says “it is now critical to step up security so that the al Qaeda can’t retaliate7.”

And from Alec, the al Qaeda terrorist group has lost a lot of power. Thanks to the amazing military of the U.S.A, this has taken a lot of weight off our shoulders.
