Osama bin Laden Killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan

Last night, President Obama revealed how a U.S. operation launched eight months ago ended in a firefight that killed the most wanted man in the world, Osama bin Laden.

U.S. intelligence led a small team to Abbottabad, Pakistan where they killed Bin Laden and took possession of his body, the President said. That happened last week.

This morning, the mother of World Trade Center victim Bill Sugra is happy Osama bin Laden is dead, according to a report early this morning on lehighvalleylive.com.

‘I’m totally happy, I guess,” El Sugra, of Salisbury Township, said in the report. ‘It’s a horrible thing to say. But we’re happy that he’s dead.’

El Sugra, and her husband, Bill, hold a golf outing each year in her son's memory to raise money for needy causes.

The Sugra's son, who was 30 when he was killed, worked at Cantor Fitzgerald Securities in the World Trade Center.

Also killed in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 was Alan H. Merdinger, 47, of South Whitehall. He was an accountant at Cantor Fitzgerald.

After 10 years on the run, the death of Osama Bin Laden has caused a national celebration this morning. Follow our live updates on The Hufington Post.
