Americans Kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan

Posted on by

After a 10 year manhunt in Afghanistan for Osama Bin Laden it is finally over. In a 40 minute Navy SEALs operation, Osama was killed with one shot to the head.  Osama was the leader of Al-Qaeda and the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 (9-11) terrorist attack on the world trade center buildings in New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. In Kenya Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the slaying of innocent victims in the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi.

In a dramatic late-night appearance in the East Room of the White House, Obama declared that “justice has been done.” After he refused to surrender, Bin Laden used a woman in the compound as a human shield to no avail.  Bin Laden was killedby the hands of the elite forces of the Navy SEALs and the CIA at a lush compound about 1.5 hours away from the Pakistani capital in the city of Abbottabad. Immediately following his killing, special forces conducted a live DNA test on Osama’s body. The process was watched in real-time by CIA director Leon Penetta. Bin Laden’s body was later buried by American forces at sea within 24 hours of his death as is required by Islamic tradition.

Kenya suffered the wrath of Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks in 1998 with the killing of over 200 people in Nairobi and subsequent attacks in Kikambala and Mombasa. As leaders and the world rally to congratulate President Obama and the US forces, we should all pause to remember all the innocent lives lost in East Africa, America, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq under al-Qaeda and the hunt for their fallen leader, Osama Bin Laden.  Obama’s administration has done justice for not only Americans, but for all world citizens.
