According to the Wall Street Journal, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will address the significance of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s death at 1 p.m. Monday (New York Time). The mayor was at his desk at City Hall Monday morning, and aides worked for much of the morning planning the event, to be held at Ground Zero. Bloomberg will be joined by Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward, Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano.
The mayor issued a statement immediately following President Obama’s White House address. The president alerted the world late Sunday night that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan as part of a military operation.
