`At last some justice for the murder of 3,000 Americans’
May 2nd, 2011 - 5:28 pm ICT by IANSNew York, May 2 (IANS) “At last some justice for the murder of 3,000 Americans,” said a man after he learnt of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s killing. His firefighter son was killed 9/11.
Jim Riches, whose son died when the World Trade Center’s north tower collapsed, said he was gratified when he learned of Osama bin Laden’s killing in Pakistan.
“(My) son still isn’t coming home.”
“(There’s) no closure, but at last some justice for the murder of 3,000 Americans, finally,” CNN quoted Riches as saying.
About 3,000 people were killed Sep 11, 2001, when two hijacked aircraft slammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center while a third jetliner crashed into the Pentagon.
A former New York firefighter, who had to retire following lung ailments caused by dust from ground zero, said: “It’s a war that I feel we just won.”
Retired New York police officer Bob Gibson said the news of Osama bin Laden’s death gave him a feeling of “closure”.
“I never thought this night would come, that we would capture or kill bin Laden…And thank the Lord he has been eliminated.”
