OSAMA BIN LADEN'S DEATH


  How do you think about Osama Bin Laden death?

Do you need a picture to belive in this?

Do you think the USA  is manipulating the media?



"The White House is considering whether to publish photographs of Osama Bin Laden's body, to prove to the world he is dead.  The al-Qaeda leader was shot in the head and officials say they are concerned the images could be inflammatory. In Pakistan the government has rejected suggestions it could not be trusted with information on the raid by US special forces that led to his killing.  The CIA said it did not share the intelligence in advance because it feared the secret mission would be jeopardised."   Caroline Hawley reports on BBC News


Review

How did this start?
Osama Bin Laden came to the world's attention on 11 September 2001, when the attacks on the United States left more than 3,000 people dead and hundreds more injured.

Six months later, two bombs rocked the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Some 224 people died and nearly 5,000 were wounded. He was indicted as chief suspect, along with 16 of his colleagues.

The 9/11 attacks targeted New York's financial district Almost overnight, Bin Laden became a major thorn in the side of America.  A byword for fundamentalist Islamic resistance to Washington, he soon appeared on the FBI's "most wanted" list, with a reward of up to $25m  on his head.

Where was he?
In reality, he had slipped across the border into Pakistan, a country in which he achieved the sort of cult status usually reserved for pop stars or film actors. He said to his followers "All Muslims, especially those in Iraq, should launch a holy war."


How does this affect the world?
You could almost say that for some time now, the greatest importance of the original, "core" al-Qaeda has lain in the collective mind of the United States. Therein may - but only may - lie the true significance of Bin Laden's death... His death represent some freedom to USA´s minds.

But, Really The death of Osama Bin Laden is a triumph for the United States, which may considerably reduce the terrorist threat to the US and the West.? or is it just a lie to save the Obama administration?
