Life after Bin Laden

In the week that saw the death of Osama Bin Laden, Mark Davis presents a special edition of Dateline from the United States on the worldwide reaction to the killing of the al-Qaeda leader in Pakistan.

Video journalist Aaron Lewis speaks to New Yorkers, including one of the first on the scene on September 11th, about whether they feel justice has been done over the attacks nearly ten years ago.

Co-host Yalda Hakim has reaction in the Arab world from Cairo, where Osama once lived and where his deputy, Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, was born and educated. Yalda speaks with a senior representative from Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood to get its view on his death.

Video journalist Evan Williams reports from London, home to a large part of the UK’s Muslim population and scene of the July 7th 2005 suicide bombings.

And Mark interviews former US Under Secretary of State, John Bolton, and former Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Ahmed, for more analysis of the week's events.

Dateline asks if it's the end of the 'war on terror' as some hope, or merely the start of a new chapter of resentment towards the West?
