making news in america this morning, the death of osama bin laden. >> this morning, inside bin laden's lair. new details on who else was inside this hideout. and what led the u.s. to him. security boosted at the nation's airports, train stations, even basketball arenas. are we safer without him? and a sense of pride. crowds still streaming to ground zero. hallowed ground, about to get a presidential visit. good morning, everyone. thanks for being with us today. president obama will come right here to new york, later this week, to speak at ground zero. the scene, of course, of osama bin laden's deadliest attack. >> this morning, we are learning new details about the mission to kill the al qaeda leader.

something watched in real-time by the president and his team. >> and of course we begin in washington, now, where emily schmidt has those details. good morning, emily. >> reporter: rob and peggy, good morning. finding bin laden is something a lot of people didn't see coming. but we're told that those in the situation room on sunday, watched this unfold live. one person who was in the room said it was one of the most anxiety-filled moments of his life, until he was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. three words from president obama, it's a go. launched the mission that took out america's number one target. the plan was in the works for months. sunday, navy s.e.a.l.s, headed into the compound. >> they were able to hit, arguably, one of the most hidden and furiously protected men on the planet. and 40 minutes later, they were gone. >> reporter: the white house released these photos of the president and his team, following the operation as it happened. >> the minutes passed like days. >> reporter: this exclusive

video obtained by abc news, shows the aftermath. u.s. security officials believe retaliation for what happened in these rooms is likely. >> bin laden's disciples would like nothing better than to avenge his death by another attack. >> reporter: it's a shared belief by the intelligence community. celebration is also shared. it happened at a white house dinner for bipartisan congressional leaders last night. >> americans learned that the united states carried out an operation that resulted in the capture and death of osama bin laden. >> reporter: the dinner had been scheduled for weeks, before anyone knew there would be this reason to applaud the president.t.resident made exactly the right decision. >> reporter: at that white house dinner last night, president obama called on the congressional leaders to keep the spirit of unity they were feeling and extend into future debates on capitol hill. that may be easier said ne. but at least for yesterday, it was hard to find many people who were critical of president obama's decision.

rob and peggy? >> emily, bin laden's hideout, it was a large home, in a populated area. tall walls. barbed wire. just 1,000 feet from a military base. any word on how he could go unnoticed for the five or six years he lived there? >> reporter: it's a huge question. john brennan said people were referring to it as hiding in plain sight. he said the u.s. will be looking into whether pakistan set up a support system that allowed bin laden to be there for that long. pakistan's president has denied they had any kind of support for him. but certainly, this proximity is going to set up close scrutiny. rob and peggy? >> some big question marks, for sure. emily schmidt, in washington. thank you so much. well, we have new information this morning about just how bin laden was positively identified. we're told that at first, he was i.d.'d by two women inside that compound. the cia then used facial recognition analysis. finally, two dna samples were used to make a 99.9% match, with samples from bin laden's relatives. the body was flown to the aircraft carrier, "uss carl

vinson," from which it was buried at sea. there is video of that burial. but there is no decision on whether it will be released. a recording may be released from bin laden himself. intelligence officials believe he recorded a message shortly before his death. the tape is expected to surface soon. they say the timing was coincidental and that the al qaeda leader had no idea the u.s. forces were about to strike. and a key question in all of this, does bin laden's death make americans any safer? the government is now warning that homegrown extremist may pose an even greater threat. pierre thomas reports from fbi headquarters. >> reporter: in major cities across the country, including washington, d.c. and new york, police were out in transportation hubs, including subways and airports, in a show of force, to deter any retaliatory attacks. >> our assumption is that bin laden's disciples would like nothing better than to avenge his death by another attack. >> reporter: the concern

reflects a blunt message from cia director, leon panetta. though bin laden is dead, al qaeda is not. the terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him. so, are we safer? in the short-term, law enforcement officials say no. >> you're not going to have 19 hijackers taking down aircrafts. but kids that buy handguns or hand grenades on the streets and go do something at a commercial facility, like a mall or a 7-eleven. >> reporter: homegrown terrorists here in the u.s., have been radicalized on the internet. the taliban in al qaeda central, in afghanistan and pakistan. and al qaeda on the arabian peninsula, based in yemen. that is led by cleric anwar al awlaki, who is believed to be behind the failed 2009 underwear plot to blow up a jetliner. sources have described al awlaki as a clear and present danger, an imminent threat.

are we safer in the long run? yes. bin laden's death is a strategic victory. u.s. officials are overjoyed at bin laden's death. but they say his demise stokes perhaps the most dangerous threat environment since 9/11. pierre thomas, abc news, washington. the president is receiving rare praise even from the former vice president. dick cheney in an exclusive interview with our jon karl gives credit to the president. but warns about spending too much time celebrating bin laden's death. >> i think the administration clearly deserves credit for the success of the operation. and from what i can tell, it looks to me like, you know, we all owe him the same sense of satisfaction that i'm sure they feel. >> reporter: are we safer now? >> i think so. there's every reason to believe there will be further attacks attempted against the united states. and for us to spend so much time patting ourselves on the back because we got bin laden, that we miss the next attack, would

be a terrible tragedy. >> above all cheney credits the military and the intelligence community for their long-term commitment to getting bin laden. saranavy s.e.a.l.s for tsing the navy s.e.a.l.s for the mission. speaking at a fund-raiser in colorado, palin questioned whether high-level pakistani officials helped bin laden remain undetected for years. we'll have more later this half hour. also, stay with abc news for complete coverage, coming up on "good morning america." now, for a look at this morning's weather from around the country. up to five inches of rain and flooding from st. louis to nashville, louisville and cleveland. rain from new orleans to the florida panhandle. wet in atlanta and all the way up to pittsburgh and northern new england. showers in the pacific northwest. and snow in the cascades. and another day of near-record highs out in los angeles. >> also 80 degrees in sacramento. 90 in phoenix. 51 in chicago. and 71 in dallas. miami climbs up to 85. atlanta, 75.

the pakistani military denies that. and the pakistani president writes, he was not anywhere we anticipate he would be. but now, he is gone. it is an eight-room house, slightly dingy even before it was ransacked in the raid. in the first floor, a bedroom, where multiple people were killed. papers left on the floor. in the corner a small bed, likely for a mother. her baby's bed, next to it. across the hall piles of blankets clothes and desktop computers. u.s. troops took their hard drives. on the second floor, the master bedroom. perhaps bin laden's. the only room with a queen-sized bed and carpet. also, a large amount of blood on the floor. there's a closet with children's clothes. and medicine still on the shelves. although, it's too hard to read the labels. no sign of a kidney dialysis machine. the compound is about 500 feet behind me beyond this wall and those trees. but look how close it is to a

pakistani army base, which is right there, behind those trees. and in that base is the equivalent of west point. perhaps unbelievable. but as a u.s. official put it bin laden was hiding in plain sight. and the pakistani military say they never saw him. one thing we haven't spoken of much, is there's people who survived that raid. the wounded are in a pakistani military hospital in this town. but so far, there's been no public access to them. rob? peggy? president obama will mark the death of bin laden with a visit to new york's ground zero on thursday. >> mr. obama will meet with family members who lost loved ones nearly ten years ago. among those being remembered are the police officers and firefighters who gave their lives. nina pineiro of our new york station, wabc reports. >> reporter: they march as if to convey to whose who perished and
