US president to meet elite team

US President Barack Obama was yesterday to meet members of the elite commando team that shot dead America's top terror target Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, as Islamists held protests against the killing.
Obama's meeting was to take place at the Fort Campbell army base in Kentucky, an official said, and comes a day after he paid homage to the victims of al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001, attacks at the site of the World Trade Centre in New York.
The president "will have the opportunity to privately thank some of the special operators involved in the operation," the official said.
