US crowd cheers: ‘Obama got Osama’

WAVING American flags, thousands flooded to the White House in spontaneous celebrations after the death of Osama bin Laden.

Chanting “USA, USA” and punching the air, they began singing the national anthem even before the al-Qaida leader’s killing was confirmed by US President Barack Obama.

“We found him. He killed 3,000 people. It’s justice,” said student Jon Garcia, 19, explaining he had come to the White House “to be a part of it. It’s very historic.”
