Rumours coming round that 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Obama will announce it soon http://www.whitehouse.gov/live

WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States, is dead, and the U.S. is in possession of his body, a person familiar with the situation said late Sunday.

 

President Barack Obama was expected to address the nation on the developments Sunday night.

 

It was unclear where how bin Laden was killed and how the U.S. captured his body. A senior U.S. counterterrorism official said bin Laden was killed in a ground operation in Pakistan, not by a Predator drone. The official said it happened last week. Officials have long believed bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

 

source.

Killed in Pakistan US air attack. This is big news. Why now? Why 10 years after he went on the run?!

it's about fucking time... it's taken long enough... I can't wait to see how the republicans spin this against obama (not to say he's a great president)

 

also I bet that with the announcement of Bin Ladens death that Donald Trump will probably be asking to see his death certificate :lol:

It wasn't a random attack he was caught in. It was pinpointed by US intelligence.

It wasn't a drone attack according to sources. Special forces led.

I heard a few weeks ago, on a wikileaks cable that a nuclear bomb will be detonated in Europe when its annouced he is dead.

interesting.

 

I don't think it will happen

Sacré bleu!

I think they did a DNA test to confirm it's him. HELL YEAH!

Perhaps the thousands of sufferers whose loved ones were taken away from them can now go to bed for the first time since that day knowing a big part of justice has been done. God bless them.

I would have been mad if he died of "natural causes."

‎10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths, and $1,188,263,000,000 (interest and inflation not included) later, we managed to kill one person. Worth it?

It's a good day indeed and finally he's dead, but the thing is, Bin Laden wasn't alone and I don't want to think about the consequences of this, al qaeda will try to revenge of course.

unfortunately I think this will ultimately lead to a bit of an uprising to radicals.

Obviously I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it's interesting:

 

"Nuclear hellstorm"

 

Another element from the documents cited Khalid Sheikh Mohammed saying that, if Osama Bin Laden was captured or killed by U.S. allies, an Al-Qaeda sleeper cell would detonate a "weapon of mass destruction" in a "secret location" in Europe, and promised it would be "a nuclear hellstorm".[4][17][3] By March 2003, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been waterboarded at least 183 times by the CIA.[18]

As happy as this day makes many, nobody should forget that Al Qaeda is not only on man and they will try to get revenge. No matter the costs.

I have no doubt that another crazy bastard will take his place.

I read that too, scary stuff

you people do realize that he was a CIA and special forces agent during the afgan/soviet war in eighties

 

and had been trained by them

Well he sure had the right idea for a while - hide in a mansion, they'll think you're in a cave

One has to wonder about the whole matter all along. Let's see - Bin Laden :disguise: and Company were allowed to leave Afghanistan at night, head into Pakistan, and the U.S. Government was well aware of this, elements within the Pakistani ISI provided protection and cover (in exchange for what one might wonder?), and that just gets glossed over in the press; and then there were all the false rumors of Bin Laden's death within the cave complexes (that were built with U.S. assistance during the Mujahideen uprising against the Soviets) , and then he falls right off the radar screen for what seems like a decade - hey, wait a minute, it was a decade! I just have to wonder about everything we are told by "credible sources".. Perhaps Bin Laden is dead, but what leaves one pause to wonder is what the heck really went down in all the intervening years. Perhaps Al-Qaeda will try a revenge attack, but that's at least less of a threat since intelligence is so high post 2001 - or at lest, it ought to be!

Perhaps the thousands of sufferers whose loved ones were taken away from them can now go to bed for the first time since that day knowing a big part of justice has been done. God bless them.

 

Good news but I don't see why people keep using the term justice.

 

I would have been mad if he died of "natural causes."

 

I would rather have seen him die in prison. Now he's dead he's just dead.

 

It's a good day indeed and finally he's dead, but the thing is, Bin Laden wasn't alone and I don't want to think about the consequences of this, al qaeda will try to revenge of course.

 

Yup.

Yup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good news of course, and massive news, but the reaction sure is interesting. Some very unChristian-like responses from public figures who believe in all that bullshit haha. Yet at the same time they feel like his death is justice. Sounds like he got away with it quite easily to me. A decade roaming around with relative freedom (considering what he actually did) and now he's dead. Hardly been punished if you ask me.

 

 

 

 

If anyone on this board did this:

 

"Crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington DC, chanting "USA, USA" after the news emerged."

 

You are simple.
