10 Wednesday 4th May, 2011 A Pakistan army soldier stands on top of the house where it is believed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden lived in Abbottabad, Pakistan on Monday, May 2, 2011. Bin Laden, the master- mind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thou- sands of people, was slain in his hideout in Pakistan early Monday in a firefight with U.S. forces, ending a manhunt that spanned a frustrating decade. (AP) KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — U.S. and NATO officials sought to reassure Afghans on Monday that Osama bin Laden's death will not weaken their mission in Afghanistan, even as the Afghan president said the successful strike in Pakistan shows that the fight against terrorism should focus more outside his country's borders. The conflicting statements under- score the confusing nature of the war in Afghanistan, where Afghans alter- nately chafe under and need interna- tional forces. When he decided to expand the U.S. military force in Afghanistan in 2009, President Barack Obama said the goal was to "disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al-Qaida" — a goal some could say has been met by its leader's death. Now it's unclear what bin Laden's demise will mean for the future of Afghanistan, where about 150,000 NATO troops — most of them American — are embroiled in daily fighting with Taliban insurgents.

China calls death of bin Laden a positive event BEIJING (AP) —China called the killing of Osama bin Laden a landmark event in the fight against global terrorism and expressed support for close ally Pakistan amid suggestions Islamabad's security forces may have sheltered the world's most wanted man. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday that bin Laden's death in a U.S. raid on his Pakistani hide-out was a "milestone and a positive development for international anti-terrorism efforts." China calls for closer international cooperation in attacking terrorism and its root causes, Jiang told a regularly scheduled news conference Tuesday, repeating the text of a statement issued the night before. She said terrorism is the common enemy of the international community and that China has also been a victim. Beijing says Muslim militants fighting for inde- pendence in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have links to international terror rings. Bin Laden was killed in a large house close to a military academy in the northwestern Pakistan town of Abbottabad, not in the remote Afghan border region where many had assumed he was hiding. That has been taken as a sign of possible collu- sion with Pakistan's security establishment, which Western officials have long regarded with suspicion. Jiang said China had no doubts about Pakistan's determination in fighting terrorism, and that its actions had proven effective and were an important contribution to the global struggle. "On this point, we really should not have any doubts," Jiang said. The Chinese and Pakistani armed forces have close ties dating back decades, based largely on mutual suspicion of common neighbor India. SKorea says NKoreans hacked into bank's network SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —South Korean prosecutors say hackers in North Korea hacked into the computer network of a South Korean bank last month. Prosecutors say the cyber attack on the Nonghyup bank was meant to paralyze its system. They didn't elaborate. They say the software used in the hacking was similar to that used in a 2009 attack against South Korean websites. South Korea also blamed North Korean hackers for that attack. Prosecutors found no evidence that the hackers were attempting to make money by hacking into the bank. They said Tuesday that the hackers apparently prepared for the attack for a long time.
