\"\"<\/a>US President Barack Obama is to visit Ground Zero, the site of the 9\/11 attacks in New York, later on Thursday, four days after US forces killed al-Qaeda head Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.<\/h1>\n

Bin Laden was believed to be the mastermind of the 9\/11 attacks in 2001 and many others.<\/p>\n

Mr Obama will lay a wreath in memory of the victims and speak to relatives.<\/p>\n

According to BBC ‘s news, the visit comes a day after the US leader said graphic photographs of Bin Laden’s body would not be made public.<\/p>\n

The al-Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces in northern Pakistan on Monday. His body was then buried at sea from a US aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n

In New York Mr\u00a0 Obama will meet the families of those who died when the World Trade Center collapsed and those who tried to save them.<\/p>\n

“He wants to meet with them and share with them this important and significant moment, a bitter-sweet moment, I think, for many families of the victims,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Obama is not scheduled to make a speech.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people gathered at Ground Zero on Sunday night, waving flags and climbing street signs, as the news emerged that Bin Laden had been killed.<\/p>\n

Ground Zero is now a building site, with construction scheduled for completion in 2013.<\/p>\n

As well as several office towers, the area will also house the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, which comprises a museum, waterfalls and a park.<\/p>\n

Mr Obama has decided not to publish photos of Bin Laden’s body, saying the images could pose a national security risk.<\/p>\n

“It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool. That’s not who we are,” Mr Obama said.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 8)<\/span>\n
