The most prominent face of terror in America and beyond, Osama Bin Laden, has been killed in Pakistan, U.S. officials said Sunday night.
Bin Laden was the leader of al Qaeda, the terrorist network behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. U.S. officials said that their forces have the body of bin Laden.
The enormity of the destruction — the World Trade Center’s towers devastated by two hijacked airplanes, the Pentagon partially destroyed by a third hijacked jetliner, a fourth flight crashed in rural Pennsylvania, and more than 3,000 people killed — gave bin Laden a global presence.

I am glad that sticky post feature has allowed us to put the news on the top position for at least 48 hours.
CNN main page is filled with this news:

In an address to the nation Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama called bin Laden’s death “the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.” Washington is nine hours behind Pakistan.

Obama has done what Bush could not, a good line for his re-election in 2012.
Was he already murdered a long time ago?
Benazir Bhutto censored by BBC about death of Bin Laden, 2007
It is interesting to ponder why the US would want Bin Laden dead, as he was the important excuse for the impreialist wars waged.
The mission is accomplished ! All Pakistanis now hope that foreign invasion will come to an end and peace will return to the country
Alex Jones exposes the contrived “victory” in the War on Terror surrounding a man who many experts have said was already dead for years. After nearly a decade of “hunting” for Bin Laden, he is summarily shot in the head and allegedly dumped into the ocean (conveniently making the body unavailable). So goes the official life of Osama bin Laden (aka Tim Osman), one of the CIA’s most useful patsies and assets.
Bin Laden Dead Hoax
Russia Today: Alex Jones does not buy Bin Laden’s death
Well, interesting is that they did not even try to bring him out alive. It seems they did not want him to expose first of all the CIA salary he received in the early days. What else do they want to hide that Usama might have told us in court?
It would be very interesting to learn what the ‘special forces’ found on Usama bin Laden’s computers in his compound. Unfortunately I am a bit pessimistic that we will find out all of the truth soon. We will need to wait for wikileaks ….
