President Barack Obama is going to the site of the former World Trade Center in New York to mark the milestone and remember the dead of 9/11.

Officials were reluctant to inflame Islamic sentiment by showing graphic images of the body. But they were also eager to address the mythology already building in Pakistan and beyond that bin Laden was somehow still alive.
