US says hunt still on for bin Laden

As the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks approaches, the Obama administration is publicly staking out its strategy to defeat extremists.

It says it will use diplomatic, political and economic strategies to try to defeat Al Qaeda and maintain pressure on terrorist havens in Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.

President Barack Obama's senior counter-terrorism adviser is also warning that Al Qaeda's intent to carry out attacks in the United States remains undiminished.

It was on this day in 2001 that US intelligence received a warning that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was plotting attacks in the United States - a warning ignored by the Bush administration.

In a rare public appearance, US chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan has warned that Al Qaeda remains the most serious threat to the United States.
