America’s quest for vengence is at a close this morning as the world woke to the news that U.S. forces had killed fugitive Osama bin Laden last week. In a live press conference last night, U.S.A. President Barack Obama reported that the U.S. was in possession of the Al-Qaeda founder’s body. In an attack ordered last week in Abbottabad, Pakistan covert U.S. troops killed Osama in a firefight unauthorized by the Pakistan government. According to reports by the United States government, U.S. forces suffered no losses or injuries while Osama, three men who were with him, and a woman who was used as a human shield were shot and killed.
A U.S. official stated that Osama’s body is to be buried at sea according to Islamic traditions. The U.S. State Department has issued a worldwide alert for caution, citing possible retaliation from Al-Qaeda. Crowds gathered outside the White House and New York’s Times Square to celebrate the terrorist’s death.
