Mr. Obama also had a message for families who lost loved ones to al-Qaida's terror.
BARACK OBAMA: "Justice has been done."
This year is the tenth anniversary of the attacks against the United States on September eleventh, two thousand one. Almost three thousand people were killed.
So now who, if anyone, will take control of al-Qaida? Osama Bin Laden's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri, is considered a likely choice.

That was Ayman al-Zawahri in a message released in February. Mohamed Salah is editor of the al Hayat newspaper in London. He says Ayman al-Zawahri -- a surgeon -- is the real founder of al-Qaida. He says his experience organizing Islamists in Egypt is at least as important as the ideas and financing that Osama bin Laden provided. The two men met during the fight against Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
Now, American officials are studying documents and computers seized during the raid in Abbottabad. American officials said immediately after the raid that Osama bin Laden had been armed; they later said he was not armed. President Obama has rejected the release of photographs of the body, saying the images could incite violence. Officials say the body was buried at sea from a Navy ship.
On Friday, two United Nations investigators urged the United States to provide more details about the death. They say whether or not American forces met international human rights standards when they killed Osama bin Laden depends on the facts. And those facts, they said, need to be brought out into the open.
