US Navy SEALs killed Bin
Laden, mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, in a May
2 raid on his fortified compound in Pakistan, ending a long manhunt for the
world's most-wanted militant.
Obama will go to the
headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia “to meet
with a broad range of the intelligence community to thank them for their work
to keep America safe and for the excellent work in tracking down Osama bin
Laden,” the White House said.
Obama earlier this month paid
tribute to the members of the strike team in a visit to Fort Campbell,
Kentucky.
