bin laden. attack took shape as they took shape, there was a lot of disagreement in the room. before the president insisted the assault by the navy seals move forward. susan mcginnis has more on the attacks. >> reporter: under the cover of darkness, about two dozen navy seals slid down ropes from two helicopters. they arrived at the million dollar compound of osama bin laden with orders to capture or kill. the mission was so top secret that during practice runs, the seals weren't even told who the target was. once inside, an intense fire fight started. >> there was a female that reportedly wast was used as a shield to shield bin laden from the incoming fire. >> u.s. forces shot bin laden code name geronimo in the head and the chest. they took his body with them but one of the helicopters carrying the seals stalled upon arrival and had to be blown up. >> all of a sudden, you had to

go into plan b. they did it flawlessly. >> it was monitored in real time by the president and his security team. there were tense moments in the situation room and an advisor said the minutes passed like days and then president obama explained we got him. no contact was made with pakistani officials until u.s. teams were out of pakistani airspace. bip laden was quickly buried at sea but he was identified by one of his wives, dna and facial recognition technology. but the war on terror is far from over. >> it is important that we remain vigilant in our efforts to defeat terrorist enemies and protect the american people. >> the u.s. has not raised its terror threat level but military bases are on alert and the fbi is looking for evidence of new plots against america. susan mcginnis for cbs news, the white house. let's break down the numbers surrounding the hunt for osama bin laden. >> starting with 3,460, the number of people killed in the

9-11 attacks. >> 20, the percentage of americans who knew someone hurt or killed at the world trade center. 26. the number of days after the attacks at the u.s. started bombing afghanistan. >> 1,566, the number of u.s. military deaths in afghanistan, pakistan and uzbekistan since the beginning of operation enduring freedom. and 116, the number of months between the 9-11 attacks and the death of its mastermind. one of the biggest questions coming from the death of osama bin laden, how much did the pakistani government know? >> pakistani leaders from the president down to foreign diplomats are saying their government provided support which led to osama bin laden's demise. >> the discovery of osama bin laden's hideout in a small pakistani town where thousands of soldiers are has increased suspicions the islamabad government was sheltering him but pakistan's u.n. ambassador refutes this saying his country

shared information with the u.s. that led to bin laden's compound. >> we didn't know he was there. we told him where he was. we shared everything. if we knew where he was, we definitely shared it. the government is not denying that they were sharing intelligence. what they're denying is they had any hand in the attack. whatever you have today, any major available here was given to you by the pakistani agency. >> what does bin laden's death mean for pakistan and the region? >> well, you see immediately what the reaction is. people have promised to take on the state and do justice. most unfortunately, my country will suffer the worst again. >> the war on terrorism is now institutionalized. the way the al-qaeda work, it is a homogenous body. as far as that is concerned, it is very obvious that the al-

qaeda network has lost a financier. so, that's a big blow to them. he was of immense importance. he was a rallying point. he's gone. there will be others. has to be seen whether they can achieve the same prominence. >> does this change the game between the united states and pakistan as well? >> the question really is, the excuse for pursuing -- the quest for pursuing bin laden is over. i suggest they stop with it. i don't think drones are a fair way of war. collateral damages are much higher. not only here but also in pakistan. >> now, pakistan's u.n. ambassador says his country's gotten the short end of the stick from the united states during the war on terrorism. he says he hasn't seen anything good happening for pakistan because of their cooperation with the united states. >> in other news this morning, a large section of a mississippi river levee has been blown up by the u.s. army

these women in the nine months after the new guidelines came out. >> we've seen an overall reduction in the proportion of eligible american women who are having annual screenings. this has been a trend and it may be that the trend is now accentuated by the guidelines. >> it is important to note the american cancer society does not embrace this change and still recommends most women start getting regular mammograms in their 40s. when the disease is often caught at an earlier, more treatable stage. >> strides that we've made in america in reducing the death rate from breast cancer have been, in part, due to our emphasis on early detection. >> i feel like my case is a perfect example of someone who is totally healthy and risk free and yet you know, did have a cancer. >> that was anita brikman reporting. it is important to point out two things. women who start getting mammograms earlier may encounter more false positives.
