BtN: Episode 11 Transcript 10/5/11

On this week's Behind the News: It's supposed to be helping Indigenous kids but is the government's plan working? We meet Australia's young volunteers who are making a difference. And we tell you why learning Shakespeare in school is still important today. Hi I'm Kirsty Bennett, welcome to Behind the News. Also on the show, I meet a teenager who's zooming up the ranks in motorbike racing but first today. One story has dominated the news all week. Osama bin Hiding Reporter: Kirsty Bennett INTRO: After hiding for nearly a decade the world's most wanted bad guy was captured and killed. His name's Osama bin Laden and he's the leader of a terrorist group that's killed thousands of people. So let's take a look at whether the death of this one man will make the world any safer from terrorism. KIRSTY BENNETT, REPORTER: US Special Forces swooped in the dead of night. Their target the world's most wanted man - Osama bin Laden. President Barack Obama and his team watched on as his men crept through the property. After a quick gunfight came the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. It all sounds like a blockbuster movie, but this had more at stake and a much bigger budget. The US spent billions of dollars trying to find bin Laden. So how did one man become such an important enemy? To find out, we have to go back to September 11 2001. Terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into US landmarks. About 3000 people were killed. After the attacks, Osama bin Laden, the head of a terrorist group called Al Qaeda admitted he was behind it. The US and other countries including Australia went after him, which meant going to war in Afghanistan. For nearly ten years, US and Aussie troops have been fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan but for most of that time, bin Laden was living over the border in Pakistan. And once the US were tipped off, the daring mission could begin. BARACK OBAMA, US PRESIDENT: Tonight I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.
