speed. still ahead, more virginia roads to show you at 6:18. back to you. our top story this monday morning, the death of osama bin laden. u.s. forces killed the terrorist mastermind. >> this ends a nearly ten-year hunt for the man who plotted the september 11th attacks. in an address to the world just before midnight, president obama said u.s. intelligence learned bin laden was hiding out in pakistan. >> finally, last week, i determined that we had enough intelligence to take action. and authorized an operation to get osama bin laden and bring him to justice. today, at my direction, the united states launched a targeted operation against that compound in abbottabad, pakistan. a small team of americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. no americans were harmed. they took care to avoid civilian casualties. after a fire fight, they killed osama bin laden and took

custody of his body. >> now, already this morning, we've learned that bin laden's body has been buried at sea. we expect some photographs to come out. we've seen one or two in papers around the world this morning. president obama said he called former president george w. bush and bill clinton before addressing the nation last night. >> former president bush issued a statement saying he congratulated president obama. he added... >> in the minutes follow this announcement, a flood of people flooded outside the white house. >> the scene was amazing! people carried american flags to lafayette square rallying outside the north lawn of the white house and they stayed there for hours. >> surae chinn is live outside the white house now where things have calmed down but

what a night they experienced. surae, good morning. >> it has been a momentous and historic occasion here at the white house. we are some distance away right now because the crowds were so enormous overnight, we were pushed back out this way. if we zoom across lafayette square here, you might be able to see a few people still gathered in front of the white house and most likely, there will be more reaction and spontaneous celebrations to come throughout the day. but here is a taste of what it was like just a couple of hours ago after finding out the news. the large crowds gathered here upon president obama announcing that the leader of al-qaeda was killed by u.s. forces. thousands gathered, chanting u.s.a., cheering and waving their flags in jubilation. and one of those in the crowd was proud father of senior airmen sumner cohen who was killed in iraq. >> i'm very proud of all of our military servicemen out there. i really appreciate that.

this is my boy. he was killed. he's buried at arlington and i love him. i miss him every day. >> a lot of people put their lives on the line like my husband. and i mean, look at this. this is one of the greatest days of my life. >> i'm proud to be an american. this is a very historic evening. >> this is a night that will define our generation. no doubt whatsoever. >> i'm happy i'm attending college in d.c. when bin laden is finally shot and killed by the americans. >> for this emotional and historic day, people will continue to celebrate but on the other hand, there is concern of heightened security and anti-american retaliation. back to you, mike, andrea? >> surae chinn reporting live near the white house this morning. >> people also gathered at the former site of the twin towers in new york city. they flocked there after the news came out about bin laden's death. of course, you know more than 2700 people died there in the september 11th attacks.

the memorial museum and new office buildings are being constructed on that site now. and that is the reaction in the ballpark in philadelphia last night when people there got the word of bin laden's death. over their smart phones, they quickly spread throughout the phone and then the chants started. >> despite all of the celebrations, some concern. >> will the death of this evil man move others and other terrorists to strike back? police around this region are asking for vigilance now. >> jessica doyle is live outside the pentagon city metro station with more on that part of the story. good morning, jessica. >> good morning to you both. good morning, everybody. we're at the pentagon city metro. not too far from the pentagon. of course, one of the sites of the 9-11 attacks. this very much on the mind of commuters starting their monday morning, they're encouraged even happy about the word that osama bin laden is dead but they're also aware of the new

security warnings this morning in his speech last night, president obama said "there is no doubt al-qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us." he warned the country to be extra vigilant. now, we just spoke with one commuter, matthew ruby, who talked about his reaction to the word that osama bin laden is dead. >> i was shocked. happy. it has been a long time and i'm very relieved. >> reporter: the president has warned of possible reprisals and that americans need to be extra vigilant. how are you feeling this morning? >> after i found out, i knew it wasn't going to be peaceful as soon as it was done. i'm a little worried. i don't want war. i'm kind of scared a little bit to see where it is going to go. all i can do is wait. >> reporter: are you going to be on high alert looking for suspicious activity in. >> i've always been on high alert looking for suspicious activity. definitely, i'll be alarmed and looking around, keep my eye

out. >> does that not sum up how americans feel after 9-11. changing our dna, always being on high alert. analysts say there could be an upswing in violence from al- qaeda in the wake of the death of osama bin laden. a show of force to show it is still operational, even after losing its operational head. now, we spoke with mayor vincent gray. he was on 9news now last night speak being to bruce johnson. he talked about extra security precautions going into place to protect residents in the washington area. things you should look for. extra security at metro. hotels, federal buildings, military installations and of course, we also have state department travel alerts out putting a worldwide travel alert in place, putting u.s. embassies on alert. the state department is saying americans living or traveling abroad should limit their travel outside of their homes, avoid large gatherings and that u.s. embassies will continue to operate as security allows. this new security warning

reminding folks this morning, be suspicious, look for suspicious activity. and if you see any, report it to the authorities. with that, andrea, i'll send it back to you in the studio. >> jessica doyle reporting live in pentagon city this morning. >> keep it here with 9news now. as we learn more about the death of the terrorist leader. coming up at 6:45, we'll get reaction, more from around the country. >> our partners at the early show will have live coverage from around the globe at 7:00 a.m. our coverage continues on wusa9.com. learn more about the raid that ended in bin laden being killed. you can see photos from last night's celebration at the white house. >> we want to get your reaction to the news. leave your comments on our facebook page at facebook.com/wusa9. up next, i'll be talk with terrorism expert ray locker. learn what bin laden's death will mean for the upcoming war on terror. >> our temperature is 56 degrees here in northwest washington. we're heading to a partly cloudy day with a high in the

mid-70s. still to come, her forecast for the work week ahead.

6:12. we want to keep you up to speed on the death of terrorist leader osama bin laden this morning, the word's most wanted man was killed by u.s. forces in pakistan sunday. president obama said he made the call after being tipped off by u.s. intelligence. the announcement led to spontaneous celebrations outside the white house. and in new york, in boston and other cities, the state department is telling american embassies and tourists overseas to be on alert in case of al- qaeda engineering a revenge attack. joining me now about what bin laden's death means is ray locker, thanks for getting up with us this morning. >> my pleasure.

thanks for having me. >> as we hear more and more news come out, it seems as though bin laden was hunkered down in a mansion not far from the capital. is it possible that pakistan knew about the united states raid on the mansion or were they kept in the dark completely? >> i think many of the people there including folks in the isi, the intelligence operation, probably were kept in the dark but i think when you put together an organization like this, you have to have intelligence from all sources. i think that's what happened here. >> years ago, it has been reported widely we missed bin laden in bora bora by a short amount. it is my understanding that we made the call we thought al- qaeda was going to surrender back then. do you believe as we now see we have captured and killed bin laid than we learned from previous instances? >> absolutely. inner to roh borah, we contracted out many of the military functions there. when we were using a lot of afghan troops to help that fight which we probably would have gone in with our own

people. that's what we did this time. >> how important do you think it is to show the public physically pictures of him, maybe video to help them understand he's indeed gone? >> well, i think that will come out eventually. i don't know if it really will make a difference. i think people know it actually happened but i'm sure there will be photographic evidence that people will see eventually. >> there have been many reports over the years, bin laden has been marginalized because he's been boxed in many cases cutting off much of his communication. how much does this affect the fact that he's gone make an impact on the war on terror moving forward? >> i think it is a moral victory. it shows we can get the job done. this is a guy who's been in hiding for at least ten years. and now we've shown we can find -- it may take a long time but we can get you. he had a lot people helping him out and it still wasn't enough. if you're not as well prepared as bin laden was, you're

probably more vulnerable. >> cbs 2 foreign affairs correspondent lara logan responded a lot of people, locals didn't believe the reward money was real and that may have led to either bogus tips or more difficult operation trying to find him. can that change moving forward now that this has happened? >> i think so. now you know that something could happen. people took it seriously. we had to have gotten information somewhere. and those people probably will benefit from it. will get a reward if they did tip him off. that means more and more people will take it seriously in the future. >> very interesting to see if somebody steps forward to accept the $25 million. >> ray locker from the investigative project on terrorism. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> ok. anny, over to you. all right. thanks, mike. we're talking about driesly start. a drizzly start. >> a continuation of sunday's forecast in a way. >> the only difference is we'll be warming up more today compared to yesterday's high in

been done. >> video from pakistan shows a fire at the mansion where bin laden was killed. it is not yet known what caused that fire though. bin laden and al-qaeda are linked to more than just the 9- 11 attacks. in 1992, bin laden targeted american troops in yemen. they were heading to somalia but he bombed the wrong hotel. in 1998, al-qaeda killed more than 220 people in bombings on the u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania. two years later, they killed 17 american sailors on the u.s.s. cole. in 2002, more than 200 people died in the al-qaeda attack on a pub in bali. many of them australian tourists. the scene outside the white house overnight was one of fewer jubilations, people flocked to lafayette square to celebrate. >> thousands of people streamed there even though it was midnight on a sunday night. many brought u.s. flags and cheered the announcement of bin laden's death. >> surae chinn is there live

night warned americans to be extra vigilant in the days ahead that, al-qaeda is not a dead organization. how are you feeling about your safety today? >> i feel safe. i think the security people in this country have done a splendid job and have been very vigilant. it is just the fact of the matter is just killing osama bin laden doesn't end the war on terrorism. but it is a significant milestone. so, we're just going to have to wait and be vigilant and continue with our security measures. >> as we continue with our security measures here in the united states, we want to warn you some of the things you might see on your commute to work today and in the days ahead, extra security on metro. extra security at federal buildings, at hotels, at military installations so if you go through a checkpoint, just know it might take you a little extra time to get to work on your morning commute. and with that, i'll send it back to you in the studio. >> thank you, jessica doyle reporting live from pentagon city this morning. >> the state department has

u.s. embassies overseas on alert. it wants to be ready just in case al-qaeda decides to secretribution. bob talked about how this affects the war on terror. >> this gives us a restart in a campaign that was in some danger, i would say of being sidetracked politically. this isn't an end. people can celebrate this. this is not an end. we have very real enemies on a number of fronts in yemen and in somalia and also still in the pakistan afghanistan region. >> so far, no specific threats have been made against u.s. interests. keep it here on 9news now as we learn more about the death of this terrorist leader. up next, we're going to get reaction from d.c. delegate eleanor holmes norton. our partners at the early show will have coverage. >> our coverage continues at wusa9.com. learn more about the raid that ended in bin laden being killed. you can see photos from last night's celebrations outside
