Osama bin Laden was born into one of Saudi Arabia's most prosperous families, but he left home in search of revolution, found a path of fanaticism, inspired a murderous organization that terrorized the West, and ultimately became the most wanted man in the world. The most intense manhunt in history finally caught up with bin Laden, whose money and rageful preaching inspired the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which killed almost 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, and ripped a hole in America's sense of security in the world. Bin Laden, 54, was killed in an operation led by the United States on Sunday, May 1, 2011, touching off scenes of jubilation at the site of the World Trade Center, in Washington and elsewhere. A small team of Americans carried out the attack early Monday in Pakistan, and took custody of bin Laden's remains, which were quickly buried at sea. (ABCNews Photo)
Eyewitness NewsWASHINGTON -- The Pentagon says the wreckage of the U.S. helicopter destroyed in the military operation that killed Osama bin Laden was returned by Pakistan over the weekend. The helicopter was damaged during the May 2 raid at bin Laden's hiding place in Pakistan, and U.S. commandos blew it up so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
The U.S. demanded that Pakistan return the remains of the helicopter. Defense Department spokesman Col. Dave Lapan says it is now back in the United States. (Copyright ©2011 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)Get more U.S. & World News »
