The death of Osama bin Laden is a major victory and a tribute to those who fighting for our country, "he said.
New York Senator Charles Schumer said: "The heart of New Yorkers still broken by the tragedy of 11-S, but [the death of Osama Bin Laden] provides some comfort to the victims." Reactions around the world The U.S. president George W. Bush said a few minutes after the news that the death of Osama Bin Laden is a "victory for America." Bush, under whose presidency witnessed the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and in his memoirs stated that one of his biggest regrets was that of failing to capture bin Laden "dead or alive", issued through its nothing Facebook page announcement, a statement said that President Barack Obama told the operation.
"Tonight the president called me to inform Obama that U.S. forces killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda who attacked the United States on September 11, 2001," said Bush. Bill Clinton also reacted quickly to the news. The U.S. president has ensured that Bin Laden's death is a moment "profoundly important" for people around the world looking for a "common future of peace and freedom." David Cameron, the British Prime Minister has assured that it is "a great relief to the world." "Bin Laden is responsible for the worst terrorist atrocities the world has seen, many of which have killed thousands of people, many of whom are British," Cameron discussed.
In the same vein, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netahyahu, said that the death of Bin Laden is "a resounding victory for the democratic nations that fight terror." The Spanish Government has welcomed to Washington by the success of the antiterrorist operation. Caution to all Americans immediately asked U.S.
diplomats caution about the consequences in the fight for Al Qaeda that could have the beheading of the organization. The State Department warned all its citizens in the world after giving the news. There is a "high potential for anti-American violence," specified a press release. Reactions to the death of this character can cause unpredictable world.
By the way, the U.S. president insisted yesterday that bin Laden was not a Muslim leader in the United States is at war against the religion. "Given the uncertainty and volatility of the current situation," said the State Department, "we urge U.S. citizens in areas where these events can cause anti-American violence to limit their travel outside their homes and hotels and to avoid mass rallies and demonstrations ".
For now, the U.S. government put on alert to all its embassies to the risk of being targeted retaliation. Several U.S. cities have increased their surveillance of sensitive points. For example, the Los Angeles Times reports that city police caution around religious centers. To confirm U.S.
suspicions, the jihadis have launched the first threats. "Osama can be killed, but his message of jihad will never die. Brothers and sisters, wait and see, his death will be a blessing in disguise" is a message that is repeated in various internet forums, as reported by the agency. Father of international jihadism base thought Bin Laden was similar to the Taliban: ultra-orthodox interpretation of Sunni Islam, who want to purify Western influences.
His ideology, his men, seasoned in combat, and abundant money allowed him to finance a dark plot by radical groups that act against Western interests, mainly U.S., where they have opportunity. Osama Bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957 in a wealthy Saudi family. His father was a major construction magnate in the country.
He studied religion and economics, graduating from the University Abdul Aziz. Since 1979 supported the Afghan rebels in their war against the USSR, organizing the recruitment of thousands of volunteers across the Arab world, among other actions. Since 1986, personally involved in the fighting.
After the war he returned to his country. As a result of Saudi support for U.S. troops during the 1991 Gulf War, broke with the Saudi regime and his own family. He went into exile in 1991 in Sudan, where he directed a U.S. company considered a terrorist front. With the unprecedented planning the attacks of 11-S, Bin Laden and Al Qaeda firmly shook the foundations on which the United States based its policy on security and demonstrated the need to seek a new approach to strengthen its borders.
Almost immediately, the U.S. launched a series of air strikes against the Taliban in the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Given the refusal of the Taliban to hand over the terrorist, the U.S. began in October 2001 war in Afghanistan continues, although the attacks led overthrow the fundamentalist regime that ruled the country.
After his experience in the Afghan war, Bin Laden has learned to live like a hermit, a skill that helped him blend in on the ground in the same way as do snakes. Again and again the leader of Al Qaeda managed to emerge unscathed from sneak attacks by U.S. and international partners, which led to compromising the ability of military intelligence and the most powerful country in the world.
Since Bin Laden trail gone definitely in the mountains of Tora Bora in the winter of 2001 after the U.S. deposed by force of arms to the Taliban, there was only one certainty: he was hiding in Pakistan. The intelligence community has shuffled many assumptions: that was in a remote region or confused with the mass in Karachi, which could only be killed by treachery in their own communities or with a missile attack, but clearly had shifted the neighboring country of Afghanistan.
For years, unmanned aircraft equipped with missiles have flown to different tribal areas of Pakistan the most dangerous and volatile place on earth. Have killed dozens of militants from Al Qaeda, also civilians, and have come very close to their leaders, especially the Egyptian Ayman Al Zawahri, but in the end has been a command group which has closed part of the story.
