"Osama bin Laden was responsible for the worst terrorist atrocities the world has seen -- for 9/11 and for so many attacks, which have cost thousands of lives, many of them British," Cameron said in a statement. "It is a great success that he has been found and will no longer be able to pursue his campaign of global terror."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Bin Laden's death a "victory for justice, freedom and the common values of every democratic nation that fights shoulder to shoulder in the struggle against terrorism," Bloomberg News reported.
In India, Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said the killing of Bin Laden "deep inside Pakistan" underscored concern that terrorists "belonging to different organizations find sanctuary in Pakistan." Chidambaram urged Pakistan to arrest those involved in carrying out the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, according to Bloomberg News. How will the terrorist network react to this death?
