Al Qaeda released a video on Sunday featuring a  70 year old American hostage.

The hostage, Warren Weinstein, was kidnapped by the terrorist group in August a few days before he was scheduled to return to the United States.

The video shows Weinstein pleading with President Obama to follow through with Al Qaeda's demands.

"If you accept the demand, I live. If you don't accept the demands, then I die," he said.

Letters from the raid that killed Bin Laden revealed that the Al-Qaeda leader wanted to kill US President Barack Obama.

Despite his frustrations with the condition of Al-Qaeda, Laden still was determined to attack the United States.

Letters reveal that he wanted to kill General David Petraeus, leader of Afghanistan military efforts, and President Barack Obama.

Laden believed that the assasination of Obama would lead to chaos by putting an 'utterly unprepared' Vice President [Joe Biden] into office.

US President Barack Obama describes the raid that ended Bin Laden's reign over Al Qaeda the 'single most important day' of his presidency.

"The reason I was willing to make that decision of sending in our SEALs to try to capture or kill Bin Laden rather than take some other options was ultimately because I had 100 percent faith in the Navy SEALs themselves," Obama said.

Republicans have been critical of Obama, claiming that he is using the raids' anniversary to help with reelection.

Obama refused to release photos of the deceased Al Qaeda leader after his death.

"You have a picture of a dead body and you know, there's I think regardless of who it is, you always have to be somber about death. But understanding the satisfaction for the American people, what it would mean for 9/11 families, what it would mean for children of folks who died in the Twin Towers, who never got to know their parents, I think there was a deep-satisfaction for the country of that moment," he said.
