TERRORIST LEADER OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD
(MAY 2ND, 2011) 
 
U.S. President Barack Obama's announcement on Sunday, May 1
st
, that Al Qaeda 
leader Osama bin Laden has been killed 
triggered
celebrations across America. For the 
U.S. army and its supporters, this was the day they were fighting for. 
Bin Laden was found and killed in a 
compound
in Abbottabad, Pakistan. U.S. 
intelligence
found the compound by tracking one of his personal 
couriers
. The name of the courier was 
received years earlier through “questionable” methods used on terrorist suspects in CIA prisons. 
After a short fight, U.S. military forces captured bin Laden’s body. The US media 
reports that the body was later buried at sea to according to Islamic practice of a burial within 
24 hours and to 
prevent
a burial site from becoming a 
shrine

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commented that the recent protests in the Arab 
world against 
authoritarian
governments are another sign of the defeat of al-Qaeda and its 
ideology
. US 
allies
are calling the news an achievement. Other leaders, such as Prime 
Minister Ismail Haniya of Gaza, have called bin Laden a “Muslim and Arabic warrior” who 
fought two superpowers in the name of 
jihad

US embassies are on now 
on the lookout
for 
counterattacks
attacks by al-Qaeda. 
Bin Laden claimed responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 
people. He was 
at large
for nearly 10 years, despite a 25 million dollar reward for 
information leading to his capture.
