2011 in Review: Osama Bin Laden's death ranks as top international news story                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Daily News readers also cite deadly Japanese quake and tsunami, Khadafy's killing and Gabby Giffords shooting                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The biggest international news for New Yorkers this year was both incredibly obvious and deeply personal: The slaying of 9/11 terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden.
        The U.S. SEALs team takedown of the bearded mass murderer inside his Pakistan hideaway was the overwhelming choice of Daily News readers as the top global story of 2011.
        Strangers high-fived on city streets as New York marked the execution of the world’s most wanted terrorist, the man behind the World Trade Center attack that left 2,753 dead in lower Manhattan.
        “ROT IN HELL,” roared the Daily News front page.
        The fast and furtive SEAL Team 6 strike against the Al Qaeda boss easily outdistanced the No. 2 story in the poll: The Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster that left nearly 20,000 people dead or missing.
        YOU VOTED: NEW YORK'S BIGGEST STORIES OF 2011
        The estimated total cost of the March carnage in Japan: $218 billion.
        The killing of Moammar Khadafy after a brutal 42-year reign was ranked third by readers.
        The iron-fisted Libyan leader was captured cowering inside a sewer pipe in his hometown of Sirte, where his half-naked body was later rolled down the same streets where he was once hailed.
        One of his citizen captors, halfway around the world from the Bronx, sported a Yankees cap.
        The fourth-biggest story of the year was among the year’s first stunners: The January shooting of three-term Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords by a lone gunman outside a Tuscon supermarket.
        Six people were killed in the barrage, but Giffords miraculously survived a point-blank bullet to the head.
        Rounding out the top five was the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who succumbed to cancer in October after a long fight against the disease. The genius behind the endlessly popular series of iGadgets passed away at age 56.
        The rest of the Top Ten:
        No. 6: The European debt crisis. Arrivederci, Italian Premier Silvio Burlusconi, done in by the endless financial upheaval. Greece, on the other hand, said hello to riots, strikes and demonstrations sparked by the lousy economy.
        No. 7: The U.S. credit downgrade. Standard & Poor’s stripped the government of its prized AAA credit rating — a first. The country’s AAA rating dated back to 1941, and the downgrade came in a year of endlessly contentious partisan squabbling over finances.
        No. 8: The Arab Spring. The massive changes began in January, when Tunisian leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was forced to flee his country. Regime change followed in Egypt and Libya, with the Assad government challenged in Syria.
        No. 9: The Penn State scandal. Where have you gone, Joe Paterno? Forced into retirement after his once-trusted assistant Jerry Sandusky was accused as a serial child molester. The school and its football program were rocked by the charges — and a possible cover-up.
        No. 10: Casey Anthony. The accused killer of her 2-year-old daughter beat a murder rap in July and walked out of a Florida jail days later.
