**Follow our live coverage of the fallout from Osama bin Laden's killing **
|
|
|
|
He paid tribute to the elite military team in a secrecy-shrouded meeting at
|
|
Fort Campbell five days after announcing the al-Qaeda leader was dead.
|
|
|
|
"It was a chance for me to say on behalf of all Americans and people around
|
|
the world, job well done. Job well done," [**President Obama**][1] told an
|
|
audience of soldiers just returned from tours of duty in Afghanistan.
|
|
|
|
Obama said "justice" for [**Osama bin Laden**][2] showed that his strategy was
|
|
working and he repeated his pledge to start withdrawing troops from the
|
|
country.
|
|
|
|
Obama's visit, just a day after attending a somber wreath-laying ceremony at
|
|
Ground Zero of the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York, came as questions
|
|
grew about initial U.S. accounts of the airborne assault on the compound where
|
|
bin Laden had been hiding.
