IRT Bronx Express Posted May 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2011 WASHINGTON--Osama bin Laden has been killed, a United States official said Sunday night. President Obama is expected to make an announcement on Sunday night, almost ten years after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/02/world/asia/osama-bin-laden-is-killed.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK246 Posted May 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2011 Didn't he die like six times already? Also can't wait to hear al-Qaeda's response to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted May 2, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 2, 2011 Osama was just the figurehead, and with his failing health, I kinda doubt he was doing the bulk of the day to day 'planning'. KSM who planned the attacks is the guy that should die and that would bring closure to the families. I do have to agree that now we should be worried about a possible retaliation by the radical nutjobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova RTS 9147 Posted May 2, 2011 Share #14 Posted May 2, 2011 I have to agree with Grand Concourse. As happy as I am that he is dead, in the realm of national security this is akin to New Years Eve. Its fun when it happens and it's a nice side attraction, but at the end, you still have your troubles the next day. We're at just of a huge risk of terrorism today that we were yesterday, and the death of Bin Laden doesn't change that. Having said all of that, a bullet to the head is too merciful for him. As a left leaner who hated the Abu Ghirab incident, I couldn't think of anyone who deserves to be attacked by a rabid starving dog more than him. There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue.
