•-Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda, made news headlines after the deadly September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
And now, almost 10 years later, the world's most-wanted man is dead, killed by US Special Forces in Pakistan. His body was buried at sea in a quick and dramatic end to a life which affected so many parts and people of the world.
The town was peaceful. The whole world may be alive with excitement as it digests the news that the biggest manhunt in history has reached its gory conclusion, but the most important death of the 21st century so far seems to have made little impact in Abbottabad.
