The death of Osama bin Laden has done nothing to heal the wounds for Bermudians who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center attacks.Pauline O'Connor, whose brother Boyd Gatton was killed on September 11, 2001, says she doesn't want to celebrate the slaying of the man behind the world's most infamous terror incident; she fears more lives could now be lost through retaliation.Meanwhile Kristi Foggo, who was a stone's throw away from the disaster in the American Stock Exchange, said the weekend's news has brought back painful memories of the day she lost many friends.Ms O'Connor told The Royal Gazette yesterday: “I know people are celebrating and to them it means closure and stuff like that.“But we lost our loved one in 9/11. After this, how many more loved ones are we going to lose?”Bermudians Mr Gatton, 38, Rhondelle Tankard, 31, and Robert Higley, 29, were among the 3,000 people who died when the Twin Towers were hit by two airliners a decade ago.But Ms O'Connor said Mr Gatton's family haven't been seeking revenge.“We believe vengeance belongs to God,” she said.“We do our best to move on. We don't feel any different to a couple of days ago. This didn't bring Boyd back and it isn't going to bring Boyd back.“All we can do is love him and cherish his memory and look forward to one day seeing him again. We don't sit here waiting for bad things to happen to anyone else, or any more loved ones to be gone.”Noting many people have been recruited to the al-Qaida cause over the past decade, she added: “Violence brings more violence.”Ms Foggo, now a teacher at St David's Primary School, worked in the Stock Exchange in 2001, a couple of minutes' walk from the Twin Towers.“This won't bring me any comfort,” she said. “It's like I'm living it again, all the shock again. There's no closure because my son, Anthony, goes to school in New York now so my concern is for him.“I lost a lot of friends that day. I'm still trying to get closure, and when I saw the breaking news about bin Laden, it opened it all up for me.“For me, it's not something to celebrate. It took me many, many years to come to terms with it all.”She said she was holed up with colleagues on 9/11, not knowing what was going on or whether her own building would come under attack.“It was surreal,” she recalled. “We didn't know what was going on. As of that moment, I had not heard of that group. I had not heard of al-Qaida, I had not heard of the Taliban, I had not heard of Osama bin Laden.“I had no knowledge of them and I had lived in New York for many years.”She said one friend she'll never be able to forget was broker Rudy Bacchus, her mentor.“He was having breakfast, having a business meeting with some other brokers. He never made it out,” she said.“He was very influential to me. He was training me and giving me the ins and outs of the stock market.”She added: “I send my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives, and my thoughts are with the Bermudians who lost their lives and the others like me who survived.“I also want to thank those who supported me, especially my mother, and my thoughts are now with my son who is out there.”Bin Laden was shot dead by a small team of Americans in a ground operation after he was traced to an address in Pakistan last week.It prompted jubilant Americans to gather at the White House to mark the end of a decade-long global manhunt.Bin Laden's al-Qaida organisation was behind the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and was also blamed for the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa, killing 231 people, and the 200 attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American sailors in Yemen.
