Washington:
The killing of Osama bin Laden is a "momentous achievement", said
former president George W. Bush, who launched a massive manhunt
for the elusive Al Qaeda leader during his tenure, while his
colleague Bill Clinton described it as a "profoundly important
moment".
"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an
unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be
done," Bush said.
US President Barack Obama announced the end of the massive manhunt
for the Al Qaeda mastermind that began during his predecessor
George Bush's watch in a US drone strike Sunday night in Pakistan.
The BBC quoted former US president Bill Clinton as saying: "This
is a profoundly important moment not just for the families of
those who lost their lives on 9/11 and in Al Qaeda's other attacks
but for people all over the world who want to build a common
future of peace, freedom, and cooperation for our children."
