NY kin praise bin Laden death while nursing pain

NEW YORK (AP) — The family members of those killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are reacting with a muted joy to the death of the man who orchestrated so much grief.

Charles G. Wolf, whose wife, Katherine, died at the World Trade Center, says he feels “happiness — but not jump-up-and-down happiness.”

He says that closure doesn’t really exist for him.

Catherine Esposito came to ground zero this morning to honor the memory of her firefighter brother, Frankie Esposito. She says visiting the site is the closest she can come to visiting his grave, since his remains were never found.

She says the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden makes her feel a little better. She believes that extremists are now as upset as she was on 9/11.
