Osama bin Laden Shrine 2
 

This photograph taken on May 1, 2012 shows Shakeel Ahmad Yusufzai, a Pakistani contractor, displaying rubble from the demolished compound of slain Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, at his residence compound in northern Abbottabad. Yusufzai cuts a defiant figure in the genteel Pakistani town of Abbottabad. He is the man who demolished Osama bin Laden's house and despite Taliban death threats, he says he is proud of what he did. Yusufzai paid the government around 400,000 rupees (4,500 USD) for the contract to demolish the compound where the Al-Qaeda chief hid for around six years and to salvage building materials from it. The high-walled three-storey house was flattened in February 2012 and now Yusufzai gives away bricks to curious souvenir-hunters from all over Pakistan. Getty

A year after the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida is hobbled and hunted, too busy surviving for the moment to carry out another Sept. 11-style attack on U.S. soil. (Muhammed Muheisen)
