第一篇：基地頭目本拉登之死演講稿

基地頭目本拉登之死七四班范方昊來

1． 動畫演示：《1》。美國情報局獲得本拉登在巴基斯坦首都伊斯蘭堡郊外一所住宅的消息

《2》。美軍出動小股部隊對該住宅進行襲擊，整個行動持續約40分鐘《3》。美軍小股部隊在地面行動中造成拉登等數人死亡《4》。美軍小股部隊獲得拉登尸首《5》。美方對本拉登尸體進行過DNA檢測并確認身份。

2． 在“基地”組織領導人本·拉登1日被美軍突擊隊深入巴基斯坦腹地擊斃之后，出生于

埃及的“基地”二號人物扎瓦赫里最有可能成為該組織新的領導人。扎瓦赫里是拉登及其恐怖網絡的得力智囊，他帶著眼鏡的面孔經常在視頻中出現，對美國及其盟友進行指責。上月，美國民間反恐監控機構“SITE”網站稱扎瓦赫里呼吁穆斯林在利比亞與北約和美國部隊作戰。但扎瓦赫里目前并未對拉登被美軍擊斃一事進行評論。出生于埃及的扎瓦赫里曾是一位家境殷實的醫生，上世紀80年代，因為支持抵抗入侵阿富汗的游擊隊，他與拉登在巴基斯坦白沙瓦相遇，并成為親密“戰友”。1993年，扎瓦赫里成立了埃及第二大宗教武裝組織“埃及伊斯蘭圣戰組織”(簡稱“圣戰”組織)。從1992年至1997年，“圣戰”組織和埃及的另一個宗教武裝發動各種襲擊行動，共造成1200名埃及人死亡。在2001年的阿富汗戰爭中，扎瓦赫里的妻子和幾個孩子都在美軍的轟炸中喪生，但是他卻成功躲過了美軍的追捕，和本·拉丹一起在阿富汗山區和美軍周旋。美國聯邦調查局曾為扎瓦赫里的人頭懸賞2500萬美元。也有媒體援引情報人員的分析說，對美國威脅最大的恐怖分子不是本·拉丹，而正是扎瓦赫里，因為他才是精神領袖本·拉登背后真正的掌權者。

3.奧薩馬·本·拉登（1957－2011），通稱為本·拉登或本·拉丹，是基地組織的首領，現被指為美國2001年“9·11”襲擊事件的幕后總策劃人，并被放在美國聯邦調查局通緝名單的首位，被廣泛認為是“世界上最大的通緝犯”。在相當長的一段時間內，本·拉登一直被普遍認為藏身于阿富汗與巴基斯坦邊境一帶。2011年5月1日晚，美國官員表示本·拉登已經死亡，美當局已經找到他的尸體。

? “美國911事件”發生之時，美國經濟一度處于癱瘓狀態，對一些產業造成了直接經

濟損失和影響。地處紐約曼哈頓島的世界貿易中心是20世紀70年代初建起來的摩天大樓，造價高達11億美元，是世界商業力量的會聚之地，來自世界各地的企業共計1200家之多，平時有5萬人上班，每天來往辦事的業務人員和游客約有15萬人。兩座摩天大樓一下子化為烏有，人財損失難以用數字估量。五角大樓的修復工作至少在幾億美元之上。而且交通運輸和旅游業造成嚴重損失。美國國內航班一天被劫持了四架，并造成巨大的人員傷亡和財產損失，確實是歷史罕見。

?這是美國的痛，是永恒的痛。

? 我的感想，如今的美國，兵荒馬亂，戰煙紛揚，當人們的生活只圍繞著一個反恐來

進行的時候，一個本拉登死了，或許會有千百個本拉登頂上來，別忘了和平才是王道。我想不光是美國，任何國家都向往和平，只有瘋子才會從戰爭中得到激情。

? 幸福的生活，平淡的生活，足矣。

第二篇：奧巴馬發言本拉登之死

Good evening.Tonight I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky, the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground, black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon, the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.And yet, we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world, the empty seat at the dinner table, children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father, parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.On September 11th, 2001 in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocence in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies.Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort.We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we've worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam, because bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I have repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we've done.But it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander-in-chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who's been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet, as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror: Justice has been done.Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work or know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they're a part of the generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things, not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

第三篇：奧巴馬官方演講本拉登之死 中英文對照

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。今天晚上，我終于能向美國人民和全世界宣布，美國指揮的一項行動已經將基地組織的頭目奧薩馬·本·拉登擊斃，他要為成千上萬美國無辜的男人女人和兒童的死亡負責。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.那個陽光明媚的九月被美國有史以來遭受的最慘重的恐怖襲擊遮蔽，距今就要十年了。911事件的情景一直留在全國人民的記憶中——被劫持的飛機劃過萬里無云的九月晴空；雙子塔轟然倒塌；五角大樓冒出濃濃黑煙；93航班上英勇的乘客們為了挽救更多無辜生命采取行動讓飛機墜毀在賓夕法尼亞。

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而，我們知道，最慘痛的景象是那些無法展示在世人面前的。餐桌邊空空的座位，孩子們不得不在沒有父母的環境下成長。父母們再也感受不到孩子們的擁抱。我們的身邊被奪走了將近3000個生命，在我們的心中留下沉痛的悲傷。

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.2001年9月11日，在我們悲傷的時刻，美國人民團結在一起了。我們向鄰居們伸出援手，我們向傷者捐出獻血，我們重新確認了彼此之間的羈絆以及我們對社區和國家的愛。在那一天，不管我們來自何方、信仰什么宗教、屬于什么種族，我們都被緊緊聯系在了美國這個大家庭里。

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who

committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.在保護我們的國家，給那些應該對這起惡性攻擊負責的人以正義制裁的決心面前，我們也萬眾一心。很快我們就意識到911恐怖襲擊是由基地組織策劃的，這個組織的頭目就是奧薩馬·本·拉登，他曾經公開對美國宣戰，在我們的國家和全世界都犯下了殺害無辜生命的罪行。于是，我們對基地組織開戰，以保護我們的人民、我們的朋友和我們的盟友們。

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve

disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.過去的十年里，在我們的軍人和反恐專家們不懈而英勇的努力下，我們取得了巨大的成效。我們粉碎了恐怖襲擊、加強了我們的國土安全。在阿富汗，我們擊退了為基地組織提供安全避難和支持的塔利班政府。在全球，我們和朋友及盟友一起或抓住或擊斃了數十名基地恐怖分子，其中包括一些911事件的始作俑者。

Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.然而奧薩馬·本·拉登逃避了抓捕并在阿富汗和巴基斯坦邊境逃竄。同時，基地組織也繼續通過這條邊境線以及世界的分支組織運行著。

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, evenas we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.所以，在上任之后，我命令中情局局長里昂·帕內塔把擊斃或活捉本·拉登當作我們和基地作戰的頭等大事，我們也仍在加強力量來瓦解、拆分和擊潰他的聯系網。

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.然后，去年八月，在情報機構數年的辛勤工作之后，我得到本·拉登的一份簡報。那時還不能確認，我們花費了幾個月的時間來確認這條線索，我和國家安全小組的成員們不斷會面，我們得到了更多可能性的信息，把本·拉登的藏身地鎖定在了巴基斯坦很隱蔽的一個院子里。終于在上周，我決定我們已經有了足夠的情報來采取行動，授權打擊奧薩馬·本·拉登，讓他得到正義的制裁。

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.今天，在我的指揮下，美國發動了一項對巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德的針對性打擊。一小隊美國人在超凡的勇氣和能力下執行了這個任務，沒有美國人受傷。他們很小心的避免了平民的傷亡。在一次交火后，他們擊斃了奧薩馬·本·拉登，將他繩之以法。

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.在過去的二十年里，本拉登作為基地組織的頭目和象征，一直在策劃對我們的國家、我們的朋友和盟友們進行襲擊。本拉登的死標志著我們國家在和基地組織的戰斗中取得了重大的成就。

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.然而，他的死并不意味著我們戰斗的終止。基地組織無疑會繼續尋求對我們的攻擊。我們必須——也必將——在國內和國外保持高度警惕。

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.同時，我們也必須重申，美國沒有也永遠不會向伊斯蘭世界開展。我要清楚的表明，正如小布什總統在911不久后所說，我們的戰爭并不針對伊斯蘭世界，本拉登也不是一個穆斯林領袖，他是殺害穆斯林教徒的兇手。基地組織在很多國家，包括我們自己的國家內確實屠殺了很多穆斯林教徒。所以，他的死亡應該受到所有相信世界和平維護人的尊嚴的人們的歡迎。

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.在過去數年，我也一直重申一旦我們確認拉登所在，我們可能在巴基斯坦境內采取行動，我們也是這么做的。但要特別拿出來說的一點是我們的反恐是在巴基斯坦的協作

下找到本·拉登和他的藏身之所的。本·拉登也曾經對巴基斯坦宣戰，也曾下命令攻擊巴基斯坦人民。

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我給巴基斯坦總統扎爾達里打了電話，我的小隊也和巴基斯坦相關人士通了話。今天對我們兩國來說都是具有歷史意義的好日子，在這一點上大家都達成了共識。The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.美國人民沒有選擇戰爭，戰爭來到了我們的海岸，對我們的人民進行無意義的屠殺。經過近十年的服役、戰爭和犧牲，我們太知道戰爭的代價了。每當我作為三軍統帥，必須要給那些失去了心愛之人以及那些遭受重大創傷的服役人員的家人寫信的時候，種種艱難時時刻刻都壓在我的心頭。

So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.美國人民知道戰爭的代價。然而作為一個國家，我們永遠都不能忍受國家安全受到威脅，或者在人民被殺的時候袖手旁觀。我們會一直保護我們的居民、我們的朋友和盟友。我們會真實的面對這些代價。然后像今天這個夜晚，我們終于能對那些被基地組織奪去家人生命的家庭說：正義得到了伸張。

Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism

professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.今晚，我要感謝數不清的情報人員和反恐專家們，正是你們不知疲倦的努力才有了這項成就。美國人民看不到他們的工作，也不知道他們的名字，但是今晚，他們會對自己的工作感到滿足，他們對正義的追求得到了收獲。

We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the

professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我們感謝那些執行這項行動的人，這是他們服務國家的職業化、愛國主義和無可匹敵的勇氣的明證。自從九月那天起，他們就成了背負最沉重負擔的一代人。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，讓我對那些在911事件中失去家人的家庭們說，我們永遠不會忘記你們的損失，我們會采取任何措施來防止對我們國土的另一次襲擊，這個承諾我們也永遠不會動搖。And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.今晚，讓我們回顧一下911那天我們的團結一心，我知道隨著時間的流逝這種感覺已經漸漸淡去，但是今天的成就見證了我們國家的偉大和人民的堅不可摧。

The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for

equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.我們保護國家的任務還沒有完成，但是今晚，我們再次相信，美國人民可以完成任何我們下定決心完成的事情。這就是我們的歷史：不管是對人民繁榮的追求、或是對人人平等的奮斗，我們傳播我們的價值觀的承諾以及我們為維護世界和平所作出的犧牲。Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.讓我們銘記，我們做這件事并不因為我們的財富或力量，而是因為我們自身：我們是在上帝之下，所有人都擁有自由和正義的不可分割的一個國家。

Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家，愿上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國。

Transcript of President Obama’s Speech

______________________________________ For Immediate Release May 1, 2011 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON OSAMA BIN LADEN East Room 11:35 P.M.EDT THE PRESIDENT: Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory — hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed

奧巴馬宣布本拉登死亡英文演講稿

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.
