CONSPIRACY THEORY OR NOT Osama bin Ladin will not work this earth again means he is either in another Galaxy or Dead for those of u that refused 2 believe, the President of the United state has said his boys killed him and he has a very convincing evidence of video and audio but he will not share it with u guys because una mouth too dey talk nonsense. it is either u celebrate with the States or u are against them. Some people just like the world better with Osama still hiding, guys if u are one of those, na turn by turn no worry your turn go soon reach after u bomb ur self miss them go find u. the bitter truth is that if the pictures and videos are released those that dont want to belive will never belive until them go see d Guy 4 that Place when they Roast evil doers |

The funny thing is that a lot of the "SMART, AND ANALYTICAL" people on Nairaland here, all they do is talk, Recent polls and survey as of yesterday by the Washington Post/Express shows that many indeed believed, and recent polls showed more than 55% of the nation approved the president on the job of terrorism because they believed, So if the American people believed, who really cares about the so-called conspiracy theories? One thing I say is, if you want to believe, then believe, if u don't it's totally fine and trust me no one will force it down your throat to believe. Stories are not meant to convince people but to educate people. |

Not impressed. Not celebrating. If you have NO idea about American politics or how they run things, do not dismiss what ppl call as conspiracy theories. There is no gov.t more corrupt than that of my own: American. Second, there are MORE Osamas where he came from. So cutting the LIMB off of the star fish we know to be Al Qaeda, will resort in another one forming soon after. Stay there and celebrate. I am an American citizen and it is my life and millions of other Americans that are being played with here. I pay taxes and my safety is not guaranteed because of this need for power when there are ppl on the streets still begging for food, most former US war veterans. Lives are expendable on both sides and we Americans have a false sense of security. I love my country but I do NOT have a good feeling about this!!!! |

Sometimes when i go through Posts on Nairaland i marvel and am amused at different personalities we have in the World and on the internet at large. Some are on a short fuse and so from discussing issues eventually balls down to an abusing contest, some are just plain ignorant of the realities of life and want to stay on with their ignoramus ideals, some still try to be realistic and move with the growing world trends. Face it people Osama is dead killed by American Navy Seals not prior to that May 1 date but that very day. Watching live video of events is no big deal at least we all get to watch premiership games and other games live on the internet so why would watching a live feed be impossible of his death. Cast your mind to black hawk down in Somalia in 1995 and you would know the world has long since advanced beyond that stage. face it people osama is gone never to be seen again just like obama said. And on a final note to your doubting thomasses his death was confirmed by his own Al qaeda group so what more confirmation do you need |

Al-Qaeda has confirmed the death of its leader, Osama Bin Laden, according to a statement attributed to the group and posted on jihadist internet forums. |

[size=17pt]Al Qaida vows revenge over killing[/size] Al Qaida confirmed the killing of Osama bin Laden on Friday and vowed revenge, saying Americans' "happiness will turn to sadness" in the first statement by the terror network since its leader was killed in a US commando raid against his Pakistani hideout. Terror experts have said bin Laden's death on Monday was a setback for al Qaida but the threat of attacks remains and could even spike in coming days from individuals or small extremist groups inspired to take revenge for the killing. The statement, dated Tuesday but posted on Friday on militant websites, opens the way for the group to name a successor to bin Laden. His deputy Ayman al-Zawahri is now the most prominent figure in the group and a likely contender to take his place. "The blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama bin Laden, God bless him, is too precious to us and to all Muslims to go in vain," the statement said. "We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries." "Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness," it said, "their blood will be mingled with their tears." Rather than making vehement cries of vengeance, the al Qaida statement - entitled You lived as a good man, you died as a martyr - struck a tone of calmness and continuation. Though it included praise of bin Laden, much of the 11-paragraph statement was dedicated to underlining that al Qaida would live on, depicting him as just another in a line of "martyrs" from the group. "It is impossible, impossible. Sheikh Osama didn't build an organisation to die when he dies," the statement read. "The university of faith, Quran and jihad from which bin Laden graduated will not close its doors," it added. "The soldiers of Islam will continue in groups and united, plotting and planning without getting bored, tired, with determination, without giving up until striking a blow," the statement. It said bin Laden was killed "along an established path followed by the best of those who came before him and those who will come after him." In the statement, al Qaida also called on Pakistanis to rise up in revolt against its leaders to "cleanse the shame." It also said that an audio message bin Laden recorded a week before his death would be issued soon. The writers of the statement appeared unaware of the announcement by American officials that bin Laden's body had been buried at sea. The statement warned against mishandling or mistreating bin Laden's body and demanded that be handed over to his family, saying "any harm (to the body) will open more doors of evil, and there will be no one to blame but yourselves."

THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release May 1, 2011 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON OSAMA BIN LADEN East Room 11:35 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction. And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace. Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family. We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice. We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda -- an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe. And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies. Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort. We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense. In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot. Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world. And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda. Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must –- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad. As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –- and never will be -– at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we’ve done. But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people. Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates. The American people did not choose this fight. It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens. After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war. These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded. So Americans understand the costs of war. Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done. Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice. We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day. Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores. And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know that it has, at times, frayed. Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people. The cause of securing our country is not complete. But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place. Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. END 11:44 P.M. EDT |

i doubt they have a nuclear bomb to deonate.but if they do US response would be intresting because since al Qaida is based in many countries they don't have particular country to nuke.And of course nuking random suspect countries is not an option to start with as this will cause radiation clouds to drift over europe and most crucially Russia who will not take kindly to that. However,i believe if they indeed have a nuclear bomb they would probably have used it long ago . |
