FILE- In this April 1998 file photo, exiled Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden is seen in this April 1998 picture in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden's Yemeni wife once dismissed the terror leader's offer to return to the safety of her home, saying she wanted to stay and be "martyred" alongside her husband, her family says. In interviews with The Associated Press, Amal al-Sada's relatives paint a portrait of an ambitious, resolute and conservative young woman told friends and family she hoped to "go down in history" after her marriage to the world's most wanted man.

FILE - In this April 15, 2011 file photo, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels speaks at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Ready or not, the 2012 presidential campaign is under way in earnest a full 18 months before Election Day. The GOP field _ still muddy and made up of no less than a dozen people _ will become clearer in coming days as more Republicans declare they'll run or sit out _ and President Barack Obama's schedule already is packed with fundraisers and visits to states important to his re-election chances.

FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2009 file photo, President Barack Obama greets rapper Common at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington. Michelle Obama's "evening of poetry" at the White House set off Republican critics before the artists had uttered a word. But it was the inclusion of Common that set off Republicans. Common, who is considered fairly tame as rappers go, is known for rhymes that tend to be socially and politically conscious. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File) (AP)

FILE - In this Dec. 24, 1998 file photo, Muslim militant and al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden speaks to a selected group of reporters in mountains of Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. The Americans who raided bin Laden's lair met far less resistance than the Obama administration described in the aftermath, according to its latest account. The commandos encountered gunshots from only one man, whom they quickly killed, before sweeping the house and shooting others, who were unarmed, a senior defense official said.
