southbound 880. we'll keep watching that. we're also watching the bay bridge and traffic is light there. it's 5:00. back to the desk. sal, thank you. we're now hearing the first threat of retaliation against the united states for the killing of osama bin laden. an al qaeda congressmen at a timer posted a eulogy on an obama extremist site. we're finding that laden's body has been buried at sea. u.s. officials say that's in keeping with islamic tradition that calls for burial within 24 hours. osama bin laden's death came after a deadly fire fight. one that lasted about 40 minutes at bin laden's fortified compound in pakistan. you're looking at pictures of the location. this video shows the compound actually on fire shortly after that raid. osama bin laden reportedly was shot in the head during this battle and was killed. bin laden's secret compound was

built about five years ago according to reports. the white house says they found out about it earlier this year. president obama announced the killing of osama bin laden in a dramatic white house speech last night. >> tonight i can report to the american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al qaeda and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children. [ cheering and applause ] >> the president says he wants the families who lost loved ones in the september 11 attacks to know that the country has never forgetten their loss. our time now 5:02. the bin laden announcement is raising big questions about airport security. ktvu's allie rasmus joining us live at sfo now with what travelers can expect and the warning for americans overseas. good morning, allie. >> reporter: good morning, dave. the u.s. state department has issued a worldwide alert for all americans living and

traveling abroad and that alert warns that there's an enhanced risk for anti-american violence following the death of osama bin laden. here at sfo however the security status remains unchanged. the tsa according to the duty manager here has not given sfo or other bay area airports any orders to step up security or police patrols or really do anything differently from just 24 hours ago. some passengers we spoke to this morning say they find it hard to believe and wonder if those instructions will change as the day goes on. >> i can't imagine there's not some sort of even if it's just tsa activity or something that would change because of it. >> reporter: now again the travel alert applies to any u.s. citizens traveling internationally and living abroad. the first international flights depart sfo around 8:00 this morning. what's unusual about this state department travel alert it does

not specify a country or region americans should be cautious. the advisory just says the alert is worldwide and will remain in effect until august 1st. reporting live at sfo, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. news of bin laden's death brought a huge response around the world and right here at home. i want to take you live to ground zero in new york city this morning where a huge crowd gathered last night. many people are still out there this morning. this is of course where so many people lost their lives and loved ones on september 11, 2001. shortly after the president announced that bin laden was dead, a patriotic celebration broke out. [ cheering and applause ] >> huge crowd of people began singing the star spangled banner. others could be heard chanting

usa. plenty of red, white and blue could also be seen. people have the american flags out you can see. many people in the crowds say they didn't want to miss out. >> my favorite bartender turned off the baseball game and put this on. i knew this was a historic moment and i had to be here with my fellow americans. >> while news of bin laden's death caused celebration, new york city mayor bloomberg says he hopes that 9/11 families can instead find some closure. many bay area families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have strong reactions to the death of osama bin laden. jack was in his san raphael home when the president announced the stunning news that the master mind of september 11th had been killed. he waited ten long years to hear that. >> i never had my doubts. i think justice is served one way or another in this life. >> now his pregnant wife, lauren, was among the heros of hijacked united flight 93.

the san francisco bound plane that crashed in rural pennsylvania. several passengers rushed the cockpit, they stopped the terrorist from crashing into their intended target believed to be either the white house or the u.s. capitol. he will spend today reaching out to other flight 93 families. well, afghanistan has been the main focus of the u.s. war on terrorism ever since 9/11. and one of the largest afghan communities in the u.s. is right here in the bay area. ktvu's jade hernandez is getting reaction to bin laden's death from fremont. jade. >> reporter: good morning. we're live in front of the office of a nonprofit group which pushes understanding between muslims and the u.s. and the executive director of this group sent out a statement three and a half hours ago. the executive director says "with a major chapter of the war on terror closed by the death of osama bin laden, we hope for a new chapter of dialogue and peace between the u.s. and muslim world." the statement is directly from

the executive director. his organizations model leading the way towards a better tomorrow. we spoke to a stanford professor who gave us his reaction on the news. he's a middle east history professor for the university. >> well like all americans i imagine i'm happy that he's been killed. i would have preferred he be put on trial, but if not this is the next best. >> reporter: we're live in fremont this morning because fremont has one of the largest afghan communities. we hope to have more from those who are reacting from bin laden's death a little later on this morning. reporting live from fremont, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. all right. time now 5:07. well, bart spokesman joining us live on the phone now to tell us how bart security is being increased after the killing of osama bin laden. can you hear us? >> i can hear you fine. >> so what's happening? what will bart commuters see this morning? >> well, you know, over the past couple months we've been increasing our visibility on our trains with the critical

asset patrol team which is a group of officers that the federal government has offered. both officers will be out on our trains and they'll be joined by additional officers as well. and we'll also have increased number of operations folks who will be out in vests so that way people will be able to identify our bart workers who are out there. we'll encourage our passengers to do if you see something, say something. if you see something suspicious, say something. there are a lot of people out there you can talk to. >> what are you telling passengers if they are concerned that there might be some sort of retaliation? what extra precautions as well are you taking to kind of keep the passengers minds' at ease? >> you know reminding folks that listen if we're all looking out for something suspicious and we're you know going to get engaged and talk about it to a bart personnel or police officer, that right

there is a deterrent. and basically the terrorists if they're going to try to attack one try to be asin visible as possible. with everybody's eyes watching, 350,000 watchers 700,000 pairs of eyes, that makes it very difficult for a terrorist to want to carry out something if we're all on alert. >> there's always the possibility of false alarms or people reacting to something that may not be a real threat. i'm sure that's got to be a concern of yours as well. >> absolutely. but that's also why our officers are very highly trained in counterterrorism so they can recognize something that you and i may not think or may think that is a terrorist activity but in fact isn't. or they may recognize something that is a terrorist activity we might think is normal. bottom line if we're all engaged together it makes a great deterrent. >> all right. thank you so much for joining us this morning. he's talking to us about extra bart security and how bart is responding in order to keep the trains safe as people worry

about possible retaliation. now this morning we are following reaction out of washington d.c. to the killing of osama bin laden.

criticized the royal family's acceptance of u.s. troops in saudi arabia. now we have learned this morning that bin laden's body has already been buried at sea. a u.s. official says that's in keeping with islamic tradition that requires the body be buried within 24 hours. bin laden's capture came far away from where intelligence initially believed he may be hiding. it happened in abbottabad. this is video of the compound on fire. that was shortly after the raid. for a long time though american intelligence believed that bin laden was hiding along the pakistan border with afghanistan. now it's believed bin laden had this compound built five years ago as a hideout spot. white house officials say they learned of the compound in february. president obama announced the killing of osama bin laden in a dramatic white house speech last night. >> a small team of americans carried out the operation with

extraordinary courage and capability. no americans were harmed. they took care to avoid civilian casualties. after a fire fight, they killed osama bin laden and took custody of his body. >> in his speech the president said bin laden was not a muslim leader. he called bin laden a mass murder of muslims. and the president reaffirmed that the u.s. is not at war with muslims. time now 5:33. the state department is warning u.s. americans abroad about possible terroristic threats from al qaeda. a worldwide travel alert issued shortly after president obama's announcement. says there's an enhanced risk for anti-american violence. in areas where bin laden's killing could cause violence, they're urged to limit travel outside of their homes and avoid any mass gatherings and demonstrations. travelers can expect the same security levels at bay area airports. now we did talk to the duty

manager at sfo this morning. he tells us here at ktvu levels remain the same and that so far there are no specific orders from the tsa. now we want to show you some video from outside oakland international airport last night. passengers we talked to were just finding out about the killing of osama bin laden after stepping off planes and turning on their cell phones. one man called it good news. >> i'm a little relieved. i just went through a huge security check in louisiana which i thought was over the top. but i think it's for the safety of everyone here. but overall, yeah, i'm happy. i'm happy to hear that maybe at least this chapter we can put to an end. >> so, again, right now no extra precautions this morning at bay area airports, but the state department has issued a worldwide alert to americans traveling abroad. well, president obama made that announcement of osama bin laden's death about 8:30 last night. made the announcement from the

white house. we want to take you there this morning throughout the morning. it immediately brought out thousands of people to celebrate outside the white house gates. the crowd started forming just as the president began his statement announcing the death of bin laden. last night's crowd may have been the largest to gather spontaneously at the white house since president obama's election night victory in 2008. time now 5:35. well, the news of bin laden's death immediately brought attention to ground zero in new york city. we're keeping an eye on new york city. in fact this is a live picture from ground zero. the camera pointed and it's a familiar sight for most of us. almost ten years ago on september 11, 2001, this is of course where the world trade center towers fell. that has led to several sovereign ceremonies. but last night a different kind

of gathering took place. [ cheering and applause ] >> this is what was happening last night outside of ground zero in new york city. thousands of people turning out last night and early this morning for a celebration similar to the one we showed you at the white house. and as you just heard, some of them started singing the star spangled banner. >> i feel ecstatic that we finally have captured and contained one of the worst threats in the country and the world is and that finally our country can be at rest and at peace with the situation that has happened and september 11. >> that late night and early morning celebration even led some people to climb on top of light poles just showing how they felt. a lot of singing. while most were cheering and singing, others actually still took time to light candles at

the memorial site that sits near ground zero. news of bin laden's death is also bringing strong reaction right here at home. ktvu channel 2 reporter candidates candidate is in oakland this morning with what people here in the bay area are saying. kraig. >> reporter: in the newspaper of record as many people call it the new york times just arrived here. you can see the headline. news travels definitely today as it did ten years ago during the 9/11 attacks. newspaper now one of the last places most people find out major news, but the mass heads still leave impressions that last a lifetime. we're on broadway this morning inside of the newsstand the century old news seller doesn't carry papers from around the world anymore but the local papers all have the headline about bin laden. the examiner, chronicle, mercury news, usa today and oakland tribune tell the nice that most people are celebrating. online it's a similar story but the worldwide weapon is where most people would get this news. two college newspapers, the

harvard crimson and yale university paper not only have headlines but pictures of student reaction. these are stanford of cal papers have that in their online sections yet. newspapers in philly, new york post specifically reporting reaction. overseas as you might imagine especially in the middle east reaction is huge. the jerusalem post already reaction from hamas. palestinian political group the u.s. considers a terrorist organization. al jazeera is following closely with its english speaking viewers and the afghan daily has headline and obituary for bin laden. this is a man whose family has wealth beyond most of our dreams. he turned his back on that and decided to kill people to bring attention to the blithe of palestinians a message most rejected. live in oakland, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. time now 5:38. ten years ago former president george w. wish said he wanted osama bin laden dead or alive. last night president obama

old diana later died at the hospital. neighbors say the woman's grandson was also in the front yard just moments before the crash. >> she was cleaning her sidewalk. see how nice and neat the house is. she's a neat freak. and she loves, loves, loves her garden. and her grandson was out helping her. and she had just told him to go in the back. >> just moments before all of this police say the 28-year-old female driver had left the scene of another hit-and-run crash on blossom hill road. the victim in that crash followed her and called police. police arrested the driver and three passengers after they crashed into a parked car and police say alcohol was involved. we move from that story at 5:40 to check in with sal to see what else is happening on the roads this morning. sal. well, we had a couple earlier crashes. those have been cleared. it's still a little busy out there. good morning. this is a look at the san mateo bridge and traffic moves okay

if you're driving out to the high-rise and over to highway 101. also the morning commute is not bad if you are driving on interstate 880 north and southbound. we had some earlier bart delays. those have been cleared up. and the traffic is actually pretty light in the east bay so far. and the morning commute looks okay westbound bay bridge the traffic continues to move along. one of the areas to warn if you're going into san francisco is avoid the area of 24th and mission as they clear up a very serious accident at that intersection. 5:41. let's go to steve. sal, thank you, sir. a very good monday morning. fog is increasing on the coast. it's kind of a little on the mend see know coast. not much on the sonoma which was about five minutes ago. marin coast, san francisco, san mateo filling in. santa cruz coastline filling in. it's there. sign of cooler day. breeze in place means we scatter a lot of that pollen around. trees again continue to be out front. mulberry, elm. grass not far away. weeds have backed off a bit.

all in the medium to medium high or very high category. system moving into the north not much to it but any time you have a system moving in in may that increases the westerly breeze or southwesterly wind. that also picks up some of that fog and starts to form. so that's what's happening. 40s and 50s. there's a rather significant spread here between napa and fairfield. 10 degrees. fairfield southwest at 13. sea breeze not rip roaring but it's there. livermore 47. 48 redwood city. 46 san raphael. santa rosa the coolest concord at 49. oakland 50 at 8:00 a.m. 64 at noon and a high today of 70 degrees. but i think you'll notice more of a westerly wind. so it will not be as warm as we had on sunday. that system to the north then will move through today and then tomorrow high pressure says i'm coming in. as it does it will settle in on tuesday and then really flex its muscle on wednesday. it's been going to boot camp class. it's going to give us some hefty temperature rises here. some upper 80s to maybe near 90

on wednesday. today about two to eight degrees cooler. that eight will be closer to the beaches and couple degrees far enough away from the coast. sunny, cooler, westerly breeze high today 60s for some. around the bay coast maybe upper 50s if you're stuck in that fog. and 70s inland. a couple low 80s. it's just really tough once you get to may then the inland areas warm up pretty fast. but along the coast and bay we'll see cooler pattern today. sunny and warmer on tuesday. much warmer. looks like we top it out wednesday. probably carry it into parts of thursday. cooler friday. much cooler as we go into the upcoming weekend. all right. thank you, steve. more on the death of osama bin laden. words from a military expert on how the ten year man hunt for the world's most wanted terrorist came to an end. also tests will soon start on several miles of pg&e pipeline. why a specific area is being targeted. good morning. northbound 280 traffic looks good getting into the valley. we'll tell you more about the morning commute and the bay weather.
