China calls death of bin Laden a landmark event
BEIJING - China has called the death of Osama bin Laden a landmark event and says it is a step in the right direction for anti-terrorism efforts.
President Obama announced late Sunday that Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, was killed in a firefight during an operation he ordered Sunday inside Pakistan, ending a 10-year manhunt for the world's most wanted terrorist.
