DNA testing helped confirm that American forces in Pakistan had in fact killed the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. officials said, seeking to erase any doubt about the news that riveted the globe. Acting on intelligence that bin Laden was holed up in a compound in the city of Abbottabad, Obama ordered a risky, unilateral mission to capture or kill the al-Qaida leader on foreign soil. His counterterror chief, John Brennan, said Monday that Obama had monitored the raid from the White House Situation Room and expressed relief that elite forces had finally gotten bin Laden without losing any more American lives. “It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time in the lives of the people who were assembled here,” Brennan said from the White House. “The minutes passed like days.” The dramatic developments came just months ahead of the 10-year anniversary of the hijacked-airliner assaults on the United States. Those attacks took nearly 3,000 lives, led the U.S. into war in Afghanistan and Iraq and forever pierced the notion that the most powerful country on earth could not be hit on such a ferocious scale. U.S. officials grimly ʻWorld is a better placeʼ: Local reaction to Bin Ladenʼs death BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — “The world’s a little bit better than it was yesterday,” Master Sgt. Jim Freeman of Racine said about the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden finally coming to an end. Freeman, who serves with the US Army Reserves 463rd Engineer Battalion, served overseas in Iraq from Dec. 2004-Nov. 2005. Many like Freeman, who was one of several from Meigs County, were sent overseas after Bin Laden executed the deaths of thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. “I remember Sept. 11 vividly, as we all do, but my position was slightly different as an Army reservist...I knew at that instance it had changed totally and completely,” he recalled. “Bin Laden was a symbol of evil of that generation and he put a face to the way I felt about how my world had changed that day. The world is a lot better place with him gone, it really is.” As for how Bin Laden met his end, Freeman said his feeling may not be politically correct but it was honest. “When his end came, I hope there was an American serviceman looking at him over the barrel of a rifle...I hope that’s the last thing he saw...that makes it much more satisfying to me, personally,” Freeman said when considering the options of a missile strike or bomb taking out Bin Laden. “In a way, do I feel bad someone’s dead? Sure. But, the world’s a little bit better than it was yesterday.” See Reaction, A5 Exploring education options BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — An Education Options Fair, where families can learn about homeschooling offered either through parent teaching or via eschool, will be held at the Pomeroy Library, Monday, 4 to 7:45 p.m. The public event is being held by the Riverbend Homeschoolers to enlighten families as to what is available in the way of alternatives to regular classroom instruction by way of homeschooling Matthew Shiflet during a regular e-school day at home.

On Monday, news of the death of the man who helped orchestrate that emptiness brought Wolf a muted joy. He declared himself glad it was finally over — still aware that, for him, it never really can be. “This is a feeling of happiness, but not jumpup-and-down happiness,” said Wolf, who lost his wife, Katherine, in the attacks. “The idea of closure is something that really, really — it doesn’t exist, to tell you the truth.” Family members of those lost on Sept. 11 reflected Monday on a decade of grief that can- not be erased by any worldly victory. Still, the death of the shadowy figure who had taken pleasure in their sorrow brought some a sense of relief. “I’d like to think that all the people who were murdered on Sept. 11 are celebrating,” said Maureen Santora, whose firefighter son, Christopher, was killed in the collapsed towers. She said she knows her son, who died at age 23, would have been “dancing in the streets” at word of bin Laden’s death. “I can hear him up in heaven yelling and screaming,” she said. “I can see him being just thrilled.” But she, too, said there would be no closure for her. Instead, “There will be a hole in my heart until the day I die,” she said. When he heard of bin Laden’s death, Mike Low went into the bedroom that had belonged to his daughter Sara before the flight attendant was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11. He sat down in front of a glass case holding his daughter’s remains, and he told her the news. “For my family and I, it’s good, it’s desirable, it’s right,” said the Batesville, Ark., resident. “It certainly brings an ending to a major quest for all of us.” Whatever the feelings brought up by the close of the hunt for bin Laden, victory was absent for Gene Yancey, who remains haunted by thoughts of the last minutes of his daughter Kathryn L. LaBorie, who was the head flight attendant on United Airlines Flight 175. “Justice has prevailed, I guess,” said the Colorado Springs, Colo., resident. “It’s good in a lot of ways and I’m glad they got him, but I’m so sad about my daughter.” Lifelong Catholic Barbara Minervino found herself struggling yet again with a central tenet of her faith: forgiveness. “As I lay my head down on the pillow last night, I said, ‘Lord, are you really going to forgive him?’ I don’t want to. I don’t know that I can ever forgive him,” said the Middletown, N.J., resident, whose husband, Louis, was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. “I just pray that however I’m supposed to feel, I’ll eventually feel,” she said. “If God wants to forgive him, that’s God. I can’t.” Others relished what felt like a touch of retribution after years of delay. “I would hope that Osama bin Laden was subject to the same brutal and prolonged death that my son and all the other victims had on 9/11,” said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son, Christian, died at the World Trade Center. And for some, bin Laden’s death was not an end but only a milestone in a lifelong undertaking. “The story of 9/11 is not over,” said Anthoula Katsimatides, who on Monday joined public officials at the World Trade Center site, where her brother John perished. It remains important, she said, “to tell everyone, future generations, of what happened that day.” Wolf said he first learned of the news when a friend telephoned him Sunday night, saying excitedly: “You know that guy that killed your wife. They got him!” After that, he said, he had chills for an hour or two — a “tingling, tingling all over me.” “There’s one man, there’s one piece of evil energy — tremendously evil energy — that is off of this planet,” Wolf said. “It is out of this physical realm and God will throw his soul in hell, the depths of hell. And you can be sure of that. There’s no court on earth that could have done what the final judge has done.” Still, none of that changes the lingering sense of absence at night, as he makes room for the woman who is no longer there. “That other side is empty still,” he said. “I still miss her.” (Contributing to this report were Associated Press videojournalist Bonny Ghosh and writers Verena Dobnik, Tom Hays and Tom McElroy in New York, and writers Nomaan Merchant in Little Rock, Ark., Wayne Parry in Middletown, N.J., and Michelle R. Smith in Providence, R.I.) World: Bin Ladenʼs death sparks relief, outrage BY DEB RIECHMANN AND KARL RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — News of Osama bin Laden’s death stirred strong emotions Monday, from a profound sense of relief across much of the globe to outrage among sympathizers who vowed to avenge the al-Qaida leader. Most world leaders welcomed President Barack Obama’s announcement of the helicopter raid on a compound in Pakistan, congratulating the U.S. for killing bin Laden or expressing satisfaction that the search for the world’s most wanted terrorist was over. “This is the fate that evil killers deserve,” said outgoing Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, deploring the harm that bin Laden did to “the image of Islam and Arab causes.” French President Nicolas Sarkozy hailed “the tenacity of the United States” in its hunt for the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks while Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi called his death a “great result in the fight against evil.” Spontaneous, celebratory rallies broke out in New York City at ground zero, where the World Trade Center towers fell nearly 10 years ago, and outside the White House where Obama announced bin Laden’s slaying. “Here in New York, it is impossible not to be reminded of the murderous legacy of Osama bin Laden,” EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said while on a visit to the city. “He and the al-Qaida network have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people across the world, including the Arab world.” Ashton said “we need to remain vigilant in our efforts to completely disable the al-Qaida network, as the threat of retaliatory action remains serious.” In Afghanistan, where bin Laden was given refuge by the country’s previous Taliban rulers, local officials erupted in applause when President Hamid Karzai told them the news. “(His hands) were dipped in the blood of thousands and thousands of children, youths and elders of Afghanistan,” Karzai told reporters, and repeated his claim that that the fight against terrorism should not be fought in Afghan villages, but across the border in hideouts in Pakistan where bin Laden was killed. But others in the wartorn nation disagreed about bin Laden’s legacy. “He was like a hero in the Muslim world,” said Sayed Jalal, a rickshaw driver in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad. “His struggle was always against non-Muslims and infidels, and against superpowers.” At the site of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya, a man who lost his eyesight in the attack prayed in front of a wall commemorating those killed. “This is a day of great honor to the survivors and victims of terrorism in the world,” Douglas Sidialo told AP Television News. “A day to remember those whose lives were changed forever. A day of great relief to us victims and survivors, to see that bin Laden has been killed.” But Brian Deegan, a lawyer from the southern Australian city of Adelaide, felt a “cold shiver” rather than relief when learning about bin Laden’s death on a car radio. He lost his 21-yearold son Josh in al-Qaidalinked bombings on the Indonesian resort island of Bali in 2002. “I don’t gain any satisfaction in his death — nothing will bring Josh back to me,” Deegan said. The Vatican said Christians could never rejoice about the death of any human being. But spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said bin Laden was responsible for having caused the deaths of countless innocents and for having used religion to spread “division and hatred among people.” Outside the iconic Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India — one of the sites of the 2008 terror siege that killed 166 — some people didn’t believe bin Laden was dead. Others said killing him had made the world a little safer. “It’s a good feeling there is one terrorist less,” said Sufyan Khan, a 20year-old Muslim student. Those who followed or sympathized with bin Laden expressed shock and dismay, or vowed revenge. “My heart is broken,” Mohebullah, a Taliban fighter-turned-farmer in eastern Afghanistan, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “In the past, we heard a lot of rumors about his death, but if he did die, it is a disaster and a black day.” Salah Anani, a Palestinian-Jordan militant leader accused of links to al-Qaida, said “There will be soon be another leader.” A top al-Qaida ideologue going by the online name “Assad al-Jihad2” posted a long eulogy for bin Laden on extremist websites and promised to “avenge the killing of the Sheik of Islam.” Bin Laden’s former sister-in-law, Swiss-born Carmen Binladin, told AP that he would have wanted to die “rather than face justice in an American court.” She said his family in Saudi Arabia will have received the news of his death with “a great sense of sadness.” U.S. embassies and Americans across the globe were on alert for possible reprisals. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said a “backlash” from alQaida sympathizers could not be ruled out. British embassies reviewed their security, and the government advised citizens to stay vigilant and avoid demonstrations or large crowds. “The world’s most wanted international terrorist is no more, but the death of bin Laden does not represent the demise of al-Qaida affiliates and those inspired by alQaida, who have and will continue to engage in terrorist attacks,” said Ronald Noble, the head of the international police agency Interpol. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called bin Laden’s death “a resounding victory for justice, for freedom and for the shared values of all democratic countries that fight shoulder to shoulder against terror.” The leader of the Palestinian militant Hamas government in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, condemned the killing, saying the operation marked “the continuation of the American oppression and shedding of blood of Muslims and Arabs.” Venezuela, which often criticizes U.S. policy, also offered a voice of dissent. Vice president Elias Jaua told state-run television it was “questionable from a human point of view to celebrate killing as an instrument for resolving problems.” Peruvian President Alan Garcia gave part of the credit to former U.S. President George W. Bush, saying it was his decision “to punish bin Laden and patiently continue this work that has borne fruit.” A leading Colombian human rights activist, Rep. Ivan Cepeda, lamented that the “war on terror” that led to bin Laden’s demise “was carried out without respecting international human rights.” Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki called the strike against bin Laden “an act of justice to those Kenyans who lost their lives and the many more who suffered injuries” in the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. The attacks blamed on al-Qaida killed 224 people and injured thousands. In Iraq, the former epicenter for al-Qaida’s war against the U.S., both Shiite and Sunni civilians celebrated bin Laden’s death. “The crimes committed by al-Qaida against the Iraqi people as well as other people all over the world, shows that this terrorist group poses a clear danger to the world’s security,” Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said. Al-Qaida linked groups like the Islamic State of Iraq were responsible for some of the most heinous crimes committed in the country. As recently as last fall, the Islamic State of Iraq, using at least some fighters from abroad, raided a Baghdad church, killing 68 people. “We are very happy to hear about the killing of the boss of terrorism in the world,” said Mardin Yalda, 45, who survived the horrific siege. “During his life, bin Laden was the source of suffering and agony for many innocent people, whether Christians or Muslims.” Several Muslims said bin Laden’s death will help restore the image of Islam as a religion of peace, not violence and radicalism. Inside the raid that killed bin Laden BY MATT APUZZO ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen. The location was a fortified compound in an affluent Pakistani town two hours outside Islamabad. The target was Osama bin Laden. Intelligence officials discovered the compound in August while monitoring an al-Qaida courier. The CIA had been hunting that courier for years, ever since detainees told interrogators that the courier was so trusted by bin Laden that he might very well be living with the al-Qaida leader. Nestled in an affluent neighborhood, the compound was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet, topped with barbed wire. Two security gates guarded the only way in. A third-floor terrace was shielded by a seven-foot privacy wall. No phone lines or Internet cables ran to the property. The residents burned their garbage rather than put it out for collection. Intelligence officials believed the million-dollar compound was built five years ago to protect a major terrorist figure. The question was, who? The CIA asked itself again and again who might be living behind those walls. Each time, they concluded it was almost certainly bin Laden. President Barack Obama described the operation in broad strokes Sunday night. Details were provided in interviews with counterterrorism and intelligence authorities, senior administration officials and other U.S. officials. All spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation. By mid-February, intelligence from multiple sources was clear enough that Obama wanted to “pursue an aggressive course of action,” a senior administration official said. Over the next two and a half months, Obama led five meetings of the National Security Council focused solely on whether bin Laden was in that compound and, if so, how to get him, the official said. Normally, the U.S. shares its counterterrorism intelligence widely with trusted allies in Britain, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And the U.S. normally does not carry out ground operations inside Pakistan without collaboration with Pakistani intelligence. But this mission was too important and too secretive. On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden. It was a mission that required surgical accuracy, even more precision than could be delivered by the government’s sophisticated Predator drones. To execute it, Obama tapped a small contingent of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six and put them under the command of CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose analysts monitored the compound from afar. Panetta was directly in charge of the team, a U.S. official said, and his conference room was transformed into a command center. Details of exactly how the raid unfolded remain murky. But the al-Qaida courier, his brother and one of bin Laden’s sons were killed. No Americans were injured. Senior administration officials will only say that bin Laden “resisted.” And then the man behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil died from an American bullet to his head. It was mid-afternoon in Virginia when Panetta and his team received word that bin Laden was dead. Cheers and applause broke out across the conference room.

S.B.5 From Page A1 The spring dinner, hosted by the Meigs County Democratic Party, was held at Riverbend Arts Council. Former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a 2010 candidate for U.S. Senate, was the keynote speaker. Party Chairman Mick Davenport served as master of ceremonies. State Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Athens, and a new face, Eastern Elementary student Michael Letson, also addressed the party faithful at Saturday’s dinner. Letson is making a big impression wherever he goes. In addition to speaking to the Meigs Democrats, he also spoke at the recent We Are One rally in Marietta, standing in the rain to raise awareness of S.B. 5 and its consequences for working men and women. The boy is a student at Eastern Elementary School, with political aspirations of his own. Republicans argue that S.B. 5 is necessary to balance the state budget and address the growing state deficit, while prolabor organizations and union workers call it union busting. Letson reminded those attending that the We Are One rally fell on the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was protesting with Memphis sanitation workers for labor rights, Letson said, and now, “we are fighting for workers again.” Charles Scott performed dinner music, and Roger and Mary Gilmore entertained following the program with folk songs, many of them laced with political satire.

BY ADAM GOLDMAN AND MATT APUZZO ASSOCIATED PRESS U.S. intelligence officials believe al-Qaida will have a hard time recovering from the death of its murderous leader, Osama bin Laden. After all, his heir apparent, Ayman al-Zawahri, is a harsh, divisive figure who lacks the charisma and mystique that bin Laden used to hold together al-Qaida’s various factions. Without bin Laden’s iconic figure running al-Qaida, intelligence officials believe the group could splinter and weaken. But if there is one thing al-Qaida has proved it is able to do, it is adapt to adversity. Its foot soldiers learned to stay off their cellphones to avoid U.S. wiretaps. Their technical wizards cooked up cutting edge encryption software that flummoxed American code-breakers. And a would-be bomber managed to defeat billions of dollars in airline security upgrades with explosives tucked in his underwear. Bin Laden’s death, by an American bullet to the head in a raid on his fortified Pakistani hideout early Monday, came 15 years after he declared war on the United States and nearly a decade after he carried out the worst attacks on U.S. soil. But the al-Qaida network he leaves behind is far different from the one behind the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Today, al-Qaida’s core in Pakistan is constantly on the run, hiding from U.S. Predator drones. Communication is slow. The ability to plan, finance and carry out attacks has been greatly reduced. Al-Qaida franchises have sprung up in Yemen, Iraq and Algeria, where terrorists fight local grievances under the global banner of jihad. In that regard, bin Laden’s death could be far more damaging psychologically than operationally. AlZawahri has been running al-Qaida operations for years as bin Laden cut himself off from the outside world. There were no phone or Internet lines running into his compound. And he used a multi-layered courier system to pass messages. It was old-fashioned and safe but it made taking part in any operation practically impossible. Bin Laden had been reduced to a figurehead by the time U.S. commandoes eliminated him, counterterrorism experts say. Today, the greatest terrorist threat to the U.S. is now considered to be the al-Qaida franchise in Yemen, far from al-Qaida’s core in Pakistan. The Yemen branch almost took down a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas 2009 and nearly detonated explosives aboard two U.S. cargo planes last fall. Those operations were carried out without any direct involvement from bin Laden. Al-Qaida’s leadership in Yemen has also managed to do what bin Laden never could: adapt the message for Western audiences and package it in English.

It teaches them that they don’t need to seek training in Pakistan or Yemen, where they could be intercepted by U.S. spies. Rather, they are instructed to become one-man terror cells that pick targets and carry out attacks without any instruction from alQaida’s core leadership. Bin Laden was more of a symbol than anything else, said Qaribut Ustad Saeed, a long-time member of the Hezb-e-Islami rebel group led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whom the U.S. has labeled a terrorist. Saeed is currently a member of the Afghan High Peace Council set up to try to negotiate a peace settlement with the Taliban. Bin Laden’s loss will be an inspirational one, rather than an operational one, he said. “Osama bin Laden became a symbol and inspiration for the young Muslim extremists,” he said. But the group has expanded into a worldwide movement that is now bigger than bin Laden,” he said. Even if the U.S. manages to find and kill al-Zawahri, whose lastknown sighting was in Peshawar in 2003, it won’t mean the end of alQaida. Like Hamas and Hezbollah who have seen their leaders eliminated, al-Qaida will probably continue to exist, terrorism experts say. Within hours of bin Laden’s death, for instance, members of groups affiliated with the al-Qaidalinked Haqqani network in Pakistan were already promising that the day-to-day mission on the ground would not change. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution I shed no tears when the news of Osama bin Laden’s death reached my ears early Monday morning. And I was definitely not alone. Many Americans rejoiced to hear the news, gathering at Ground Zero and Times Square in New York City, outside the White House and near a field in Shanksville, Pa., the crash site of one of the hijacked planes on that fateful Sept. 11, 2001. Those brave passengers lost their lives in that western Pennsylvania hamlet while overtaking the terrorists who were apparently bound for the nation’s capital. Patriotic ArabAmericans in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Mich., chanted “USA! USA!” upon hearing the news and gathered in public places to celebrate bin Laden’s death. Dearborn is home to a large Muslim population that came under some undeserved scrutiny in the post-9/11 era. Smaller celebrations were reported in Boise, Idaho, and Seattle, Wash., where a group gathered on that city’s Freedom Bridge. As President Obama said late Sunday night, “Justice has been done.” And that is well said. While bin Laden’s death will not bring back the thousands of Americans and people of other nationalities that his al-Qaida terrorists have slaughtered over the years, it is an important step forward for the forces of freedom and should help to boost the morale of our men and women in uniform who have worked tirelessly over the past decade to bring him to justice. Our military personnel — and the fighting men and women of other nations who have contributed to the effort — deserve our utmost respect and continued support Andrew Carter as they continue to defend us, both on home soil and abroad. We must keep them and their families in our prayers daily. We must also continue to pray for and support the families of those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks and the families of the military personnel who have sacrificed their lives over the past decade during this war on terror. Amid this rejoicing, we should not forget that a high price — the ultimate price — has been paid by so many to see this day come to pass. It’s a price that no one should have to pay. It’s a burden that no family should have to bear. While bin Laden’s death is a victory in the war on terror for those of us who reside in free societies, it must also serve as a warning. Islamic extremists will not quit their cause just because one of their leaders is dead. In conversations I had on Monday with some of our local veterans, all agreed that we must increase our vigilance as a nation. We must be on guard now more than ever before. We must redouble our efforts to ensure the safety of our homeland and to help our allies ensure the safety of their homelands as well. This “shadow war,” as it’s been termed, will not stop. We have simply moved into new phase, with a different face presenting the same threat to our society.

Critics have long accused elements of Pakistan’s security establishment of protecting bin Laden, though Islamabad has always denied it, and did so again. Bin Laden went down firing at the Navy SEALs who stormed his compound, a U.S. official said. Brennan said one of bin Laden’s wives was used as a human shield to try to protect him and she was killed, too, as a result. Brennan, speaking of bin Laden, said that revealed “the nature of the individual he was.” The American forces killed bin Laden during a daring raid early Monday, Pakistan time, capping a search that spanned nearly a decade. Bin Laden was shot in the head during a firefight and then quickly buried at sea. White House officials were mulling the merits, consequences and appropriateness of releasing a photo of the slain bin Laden but said that no one should have any doubts regardless. Senior administration officials said the DNA testing alone offered near 100 percent certainty. Photo analysis by the CIA, confirmation by a woman believed to be one of bin Laden’s wives on site, and matching physical features like bin Laden’s height all helped confirmed the identification. “We are reminded that as a nation there is nothing we can’t do,” Obama said of the news, which was bound to lift his political standing and help define his presidency. He hailed the pride of those who broke into overnight celebrations as word spread around the U.S. and the globe. Those spontaneous expressions have given way to questions about precisely what happened and what comes next for al-Qaida, for the U.S. war in Afghanistan, for America’s strained relations with its Pakistani ally and for the direction of U.S. politics. U.S. officials warned that the campaign against terrorism was not nearly over — and that the threat of deadly retaliation against the United States and its allies was real. However, the government said it had no specific or credible threat to share with the American public. Senior U.S. officials said bin Laden was killed toward the end of the firefight, which took place in a building at a compound north of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. His body was put aboard the USS Carl Vinson and then placed into the North Arabian Sea. An official familiar with the operation said bin Laden fired on U.S. forces and was hit by return fire. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because aspects of the operation remain classified. The official said two dozen SEALs in night-vision goggles dropped into the high-walled compound in Pakistan by sliding down ropes from Chinook helicopters in the overnight raid. The SEALs retrieved bin Laden’s body and turned the remaining detainees over to Pakistani authorities. Traditional Islamic procedures for handling the remains were followed, the officials said, including washing the corpse, placing it in a white sheet. U.S. Capitol Police put on a conspicuous show of force Monday morning with 10 vehicles amassed near Constitution Avenue with their lights flashing and doors and trunks open. Officers armed with automatic weapons kept watch on every vehicle that passed. Obama himself had delivered the news of bin Laden’s killing in a dramatic White House statement late Sunday. “Justice has been done,” he declared. Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of bin Laden. The military operation that ended his life took mere minutes. U.S. Black Hawk helicopters ferried about two dozen troops from Navy SEAL Team Six, a top military counter-terrorism unit, into the compound identified by the CIA as bin Laden’s hideout — and back out again in less than 40 minutes. Bin Laden was shot after he and his bodyguards resisted the assault, officials said. The compound is about a half-mile from a Pakistani military academy, in a city that is home to three army regiments and thousands of military personnel. Abbottabad is surrounded by hills with mountains in the distance. Bin Laden’s death came 15 years after he declared war on the United States. Al-Qaida was also blamed for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 224 people and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American sailors in Yemen, as well as countless other plots, some successful and some foiled. Retaliatory attacks against the U.S. and Western targets could come from members of al-Qaida’s core branch in the tribal areas of Pakistan, al-Qaida franchises in other countries or radicalized individuals in the U.S. with al-Qaida sympathies, according to a Homeland Security Department intelligence alert issued Sunday and obtained by The Associated Press. In addition to bin Laden, one of his sons, Khalid, was killed in the raid, as was the wife who shielded him. Also killed were two of bin Laden’s al-Qaida facilitators, including one who was apparently listed as the owner of the residence. The greatest terrorist threat to the U.S. is now considered to be the al-Qaida franchise in Yemen, far from alQaida’s core in Pakistan. The Yemen branch almost took down a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas 2009 and nearly detonated explosives aboard two U.S. cargo planes last fall. Those operations were carried out without any direct involvement from bin Laden. Reaction From Page A1 Chance of precipitation is 20 percent. Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 69.

Member SIPC. Education From Page A1 and/or virtual e-school. At the fair there will be programming and displays geared to educating the community on what homeschooling is all about, how it is handled by parents, and what is available now in the way of virtual schooling. There will be displays of the work of local homeschoolers along with materials on curriculum, and catalogs from various home schools. Attending will be a representative from Connections Academy, a virtual eschool, along with representatives from local private schools to discuss the programs and services they offer and answer questions from parents attending. The Riverbend Homeschoolers was organized in 2009 as a support network for parents teaching their children at home. “Knowing what each of us went through to find the right curriculum to use to teach our children and following school board protocol prior to homeschooling, we thought it would be a good idea to share our knowledge with other families who may be in a similar situation and not sure what to do,” said Teresa Shiflet, whose teenage son is enrolled in a virtual e-school. “We also want people to know that you don’t have to be a teacher to homeschool your child. One of our parents is a local business owner, another is a student working on her master’s degree, another is a former teacher, and some of us have left the workforce to be at-home moms. This is something anyone can do with the right information, tools and support.” Shiflett said that the Riverbend Homeschoolers get together about once a month for educational field trips during the school year and then in the summer have recreational outings together. The association recently held an International Night where the students researched a country, created a poster and display of related materials and then gave a talk on what they had learned. Joining the Riverbend Homeschoolers for the Education Options Fair will be several groups which offer extracurricular activities to youth in the county. They are the Boy Scouts, the River City Players, Chester-Shade Historical Association, and the Riverbend Arts Council. For more information on homeschooling visit the Riverbend group’s website riverbendhomeschoolers.w ordpress.com/ As for that serviceman who pulled the trigger, Freeman said: “I hope he never has to buy a beer for the rest of his life.” Freeman said he found out about the news on his drive to work Monday morning and he’s had 10 years to gather his thoughts on the matter. “I have had 10 years to think about this,” he said. “What does it really change? Nothing. Myself, my guys, were all over there and our lives were changed, regardless. Doesn’t change us back.” For the Record 911 April 29 10:46 a.m., East Second Street, fall; 3:34 p.m., Roy Jones Road, difficulty breathing; 5:49 p.m., Rocksprings Road, difficulty breathing; April 30 1:17 a.m., Ohio 143, assault; 1:26 p.m., Hill Street, fall; 4:10 a.m., Ohio 124, Racine, hemorrhage; 10:58 a.m., Dewitts Run Road, pain; 11:44 a.m., Darst Road, difficulty breathing; 11:45 a.m., Union Avenue, pain; 10:30 p.m., Mulberry Avenue, difficulty breathing.

TUESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 8 Tuesday, May 3, 2011 New-look Browns satisfied with outcome of 2011 draft BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Once they hung up the phones, closed their laptops and discarded uneaten sushi, the Cleveland Browns’ bosses felt satisfied. Following perhaps the weirdest draft in NFL history — three strange days during which the lockout was lifted, reinstated and confusion reigned over a multibillion-dollar business entangled in legal mumbo-jumbo — the Browns believed they improved themselves. When they’ll get to prove it is anyone’s guess. “I feel extremely good about what we’ve accomplished,” Browns’ firstyear coach Pat Shurmur said. “We picked players we feel like may have the chance to come in and start. They’re players we like. We felt like if we came out of this draft with a lot of good players, we were going to get better. “I think that’s what we accomplished.” With general manager Tom Heckert calling the shots and president Mike Holmgren supervising in a lesser role than a year ago, the Browns addressed several pressing needs. Their first priority was a defensive line transitioning from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme, and they added Baylor’s Phil Taylor to plug the middle and Pittsburgh’s Jabaal Sheard to rush from the edge. The Browns’ brass also netted big-play North Carolina wide receiver Greg Little for quarterback Colt McCoy. And, they added speed, strength, ver- satility, toughness and, maybe most importantly, infused youth into what was one of the league’s oldest rosters last season. “We’re really excited,” Heckert said following his second draft as Cleveland’s GM. “Time will tell, but right now on paper, we’re really happy. These are the guys we really wanted. Hopefully, we made the right decisions.” Heading into Saturday with six picks, the Browns selected USC tight end Jordan Cameron and Stanford two-way standout Owen Marecic in the fourth round. In the fifth, they took speedy Tennessee-Chattanooga cornerback/kick returner Buster Skrine before trading two sixth-round picks to move back into the fifth and get Pittsburgh offen- sive lineman Jason Pinkston. With their final pick, the Browns took Nebraska safety Eric Hagg (No. 248). This was the first draft in Cleveland for Shurmur and Heckert, who worked together for eight years in Philadelphia. Their connection was one of the chief reasons Holmgren hired Shurmur after firing Eric Mangini following his second straight 5-11 season. Holmgren was pleased with how his two top football minds meshed. “These guys did a marvelous job,” he said. “After working with Tom and being with Pat for a while, I have the utmost confidence in their ability to do a great job.” Heckert’s most daring move came Thursday, when instead of taking Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones or another highly rated player, he traded the No. 6 overall pick to Atlanta, getting the Falcons’ first-round pick, a second- and fourthrounder this year and a first- and fourth-round selection next year. While the decision to trade down may have disappointed some Browns fans, Holmgren felt it was not only a wise maneuver, but a necessary one for Cleveland’s future. “It was absolutely the right thing to do for our team at this particular time,” Holmgren said. “The trade was kind of an amazing trade when you count it up. It’s what we needed.” The Browns seemed particularly proud of nabbing Cameron, who began his college career on Brigham Young’s basketball team before transferring. The 6-foot-5, 250pounder, who showed off an array of impressive dunks in a YouTube video with close friend and NBA star Blake Griffin, is raw. But he could develop into a lethal weapon in Cleveland’s new West Coast offense. During the tension-filled moments when they were on the clock or discussing trades and players, Cleveland’s draft room was stress free and positive all three days. Heckert, Shurmur and Holmgren were in harmony. “We all get along, we’re all thinking the same thing,” Heckert said. “It’s all very easy.” Tribune - Sentinel - Register C L A S S I F I E D MARKETPLACE Miscellaneous DIRECTV Jet Aeration Motors repaired, new & rebuilt in stock.

Day two turned ugly as Rio Grande was lost two games and was ousted from the tournament, having to settle for third place. In game one, Rio Grande, the No. 1 seed from the East Division, lost to Campbellsville, 12-5. The RedStorm (23-21) scored all five runs in innings two and three and held a 5-2 lead heading into the fourth.

Sophomore second baseman Katie Fuller led the Rio offense, going 3for-3 with two runs scored. Freshman first baseman Amber Myers was 2-for-3 with a double and three runs driven in. Junior pitcher Anna Smith tried to help her own cause, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored. Sophomore centerfielder Jessica Gall was 0-for-3 with an RBI. Senior shortstop Amber Bowman was 1-for-4 with a run scored and sophomore leftfielder Kaylee Walk was also 1for-4. Smith (13-6) was roughed up, but also did not receive a lot of help from her defense as the RedStorm committed six errors in the game. Smith pitched all seven innings, giving up 12 hits and 12 runs (seven earned) with three strikeouts and three walks. The Tigers had a big game from Alex Jane Clemmons who clubbed two home runs, drove in four and scored three runs. Jennifer England was 2-for-5 with a home run and Kacie Vincent was 2-for-4 with two RBI’s. In game two, Rio Grande faced off against Lindsey Wilson, the No. 1 seed from the East Division. Lindsey Wilson (43-7) knocked out Rio Grande with a 40 victory. The RedStorm managed only two hits in the game. Walk and junior rightfielder Marissa Lennox (Gahanna, OH) were both 1-for-3. Junior hurler Allison Mills took the loss in the elimination game for the RedStorm. Mills (6-8) pitched six innings, allowing 10 hits and four runs with three walks. She did not strikeout a batter. Amy Harner paced the Lindsey Wilson attack, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Anyibel Ramirez shut the RedStorm down, pitching five innings, allowing two hits with 10 strikeouts and one walk. Campbellsville and Lindsey Wilson will play for the MSC Tournament Championship.

Astros-Reds game wiped out by rain Monday CINCINNATI (AP) — Homer Bailey might be the only person around Cincinnati who didn’t mind another day of steady rain. The right-hander will get to avoid one more minor league start and return to the Reds’ rotation this week, thanks to the wet weather. A forecast of steady rain all night prompted the Reds to postpone their game against the Houston Astros on Monday, more than three hours before the scheduled start. The game is to be made up on Thursday afternoon, which had been a day off for both teams. Bailey, who has spent the season on the disabled list with a shoulder problem, was scheduled to make one final rehab start at Class A Dayton on Thursday while the Reds were off. Now that they’re playing, he’ll start against the Astros instead. Cincinnati had the wettest April in its recorded history. May isn’t starting much better. It was the first postponement for both teams this season. Rain moved into the area about three hours before the scheduled start and was expected to stay all night. There have been 18 postponements in the major leagues this season, according to STATS LLC, three short of last year’s total.

Complete results of the 2011 Arthur Lydiard Classic are available at www.baumspage.com Blue Angels top Waverly, host Southeastern BY STEVE EBERT SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy Blue Angels rebounded from their first loss of the season with a vengeance Saturday afternoon in a three way double header at Southeastern High School, beating an excellent Waverly squad 13-3 in the opener, and then mercy ruling the host Lady Panthers 15-2 in five innings. Game 1: Blue Angel hurler Heather Ward was both the pitching and hitting leader for GAHS (16-1 9-0) against the Lady Tigers (9-6). She pitched a complete game 6 hitter in the circle for her 15th win against no losses, and then went 4-5 with the bat, including a pair of triples, one run scored and three driven in. The old axiom about lead off walks coming back to haunt you proved true as Waverly pitcher Kelsie Mays walked the lead off hitter in the first, third and sixth innings and all three scored to start Angel rallies. In the first, Kari Campbell led off with a free pass and one out later, Ward tripled over the left fielder’s head to put GAHS up 1-0. Two innings later, Amanda McGhee coaxed a bases on balls to open the frame, and after a Campbell sacrifice and Hannah Cunningham reaching on a Waverly infield error, Ward again tripled both home for a 3-0 advantage. She then came home on an infield RBI groundout off the bat of Courtney Shriver. Waverly had a Ward of Ward Campbell their own (Lindsay) and she began a Lady Tiger rally in the bottom of the fourth with a sharp double to left center. Following a walk and a GAHS infield error, which plated Ward, Lauren Strietenberger grounded out; Alli Walls scoring to cut the deficit to 4-2. It stayed that way until the top of the sixth when Mattie Lanham led off with May’s 7th walk of the game, and nine batters later, the Blue & White had blown the game wide open. A Campbell triple drove in two, a Cunningham sac fly brought home another, a Shriver double yet another, a Morgan Leslie triple the sixth run of the frame and GAHS was up 10-2. In the GA seventh, a Cunningham bases loaded single cleared the bases without an error as Campbell took advantage of the Waverly outfield throwing behind a runner to scamper home without a throw. The Orange & Black did put a final run on the board in the bottom of the inning when Paige Pernell led off with a double and scored on a Kayla Rifle single but it was too little too late. Game 2: Meaghan Thacker made her fourth start of the season a winning one against the Southeastern Lady Panthers (1-13) in the nightcap. The Ross Countians demonstrated that they could swing the bats, reaching Thacker for 11 hits in 5 innings and leaving 13 on base, including the bases loaded 3 times, but as so often is the case with struggling teams, they could not come up with the big hit when needed and Thacker and the Blue Angels held the home team to only two runs in the game. Meanwhile the SEOAL leading Blue Angels (17-1 9-0) came out smoking in the first, sending 16 batters to the plate and scoring 10 times to effectively put the game away early. Shriver drove in a pair with a single followed by an RBI triple from Leslie. Lanham singled her home and four batters later, Campbell drove in two with her second hit of the inning. Lanham brought the final run of the frame in on a bases loaded walk. In the four run GAHS second, Ward was credited with an RBI when she walked, followed by 2 RBIs on a sac fly by Shriver thanks to alert base running. Leslie then drove in the fourth run with a double. On the day, Campbell was 4-6, Cunningham 25, Ward 4-7, Shriver 2-6, Leslie 3-7, Lanham 1-4, Dunlap 1-4, Harrison 24, Rachel Morris 1-2, and Kanessa Snyder 1-1. Shriver drove in 6 runs, Ward 5, Campbell 4, Leslie 3, Cunningham 3, and Lanham 2 to pace the GAHS run producers. Thacker won her 2nd game of the year against 1 loss; pitching the five inning complete game. She allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 11 hits while striking out 3 and walking 3. �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS Local teams fare well at tourney draws BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM JACKSON, Ohio — Four of the dozen baseball and softball teams from the Ohio Valley Publishing area earned top seeds in the upcoming postseason following the 2011 Southeast District tournament selection meetings held Sunday afternoon at Jackson High School.

AP Sports Shorts Buckeyes LB suspended for season COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State has confirmed that linebacker Dorian Bell has been suspended for the 2011 season for a violation of team rules. Bell, a redshirt sophomore from Monroeville, Pa., was expected to play since the Buckeyes lost starters Ross Homan and Brian Rolle off last year’s team. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder played in eight games last season, totaling nine tackles. Ohio State officials did not specify what rules were broken. The Buckeyes will already be without five players for the first five games for accepting improper benefits, with a sixth — linebacker Jordan Whiting — missing the opener for the same reason. In addition, coach Jim Tressel will sit out the first five games for failing to report his knowledge of the players’ actions.

Coach Tom Cullen's top ranked Bend Area diamond crew scored three times in the sixth inning to pull away from a 2-2 tie to pick up the win. Wahama improved to 18-2 on the 2011 spring season while keeping its unbeaten TVC Hocking Division record intact at 8-0.

The Tornadoes saws its diamond record dip to 9-4 overall and 6-4 inside league play. Both teams collected five hits on the day but it was Wahama who made the most of 11 free passes by a pair of Southern pitchers. Three of those base runners who reached base on walks for the White Falcons eventually came around to score which was the margin of victory for the West Virginia based squad. Southern gained the early 1-0 edge with a first inning tally after Adam Warden walked and swiped second to move into scoring position. Warden scored the games first run after Daniel Jenkins delivered a clutch two-out single. Wahama bounced back with a pair of runs in the third to take 2-1 advantage.

The Tornadoes answered in the bottom half of the third without the aid of a base hit. Southern leadoff batter Eric Buzzard coaxed his way on base with a one-out base on balls. Buzzard then proceeded to steal second and third before scoring the tying run on a passed ball. Wahama would put the game away by scoring three times in the sixth. Matt Stewart and Wesley Harrison opened the Falcons three run frame Kitchen D. Jenkins with free passes before Isaac Lee reached on an error to fill the sacks with White Falcons. Tyler Roush then belted a tworun single before Warth chased home the Bend Area teams third run of the inning with an RBI single.
