AT LAST the world’s most dreaded terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, has been killed. Osama was killed in a well-planned sophisticated operation carried out by U.S special commandos on Sunday, May 1, 2011.
The Al Qaida head, Osama, had masterminded many terrorist attacks, including the dreaded 9/11 attack on US. The attack killed around 3000 people and left over 6000 injured. Terrorists hijacked four planes; two were rammed into the historic World Trade Center towers based out of New York. Within hours twin towers were reduced to debris. The third plane was smashed into the strategically important building The Pentagon, while the fourth one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
The dreaded 9/11 attack left deep wounds on the US administration. On that day itself they resolved to wipe out terrorism and its protagonists like Osama. The ten year long hunt bore fruit on Sunday evening.
Three choppers were pressed into service along with commandos from Navy Seal. The US intelligence department, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) played a key role in amassing information on Osama’s hideout and locating it.
Osama was hiding in a plush sophisticated bungalow with his family members based out of Abbottabad, Pakistan a town that houses a military academy and many serving and retired defence officers. The bungalow was allegedly a haven for Osama as it was alleged some vested interests from ISI and politics were providing him all sorts of support.
Given the location of the bungalow, it is quite clear that Pakistan government knew everything about this dreaded terrorist. They fooled US, saved him for years and kept on taking financial help. What is alarming is that US has been attacking hideouts of terrorists since long and many innocent civilians have lost their lives in these attacks. For Pakistan it appears, saving Osama was more important than the common man.
The killing of the fugitive terrorist within the Pakistan territory has been frowned upon many leaders across the world. It’s already sullied image has received some more beating. Top Pakistan leaders have persistently been denying the presence of Osama in Pakistan including current premier, Yousuf Raza Gilani and former president Parvez Musharaff. Now, where will these leaders hide their face as they are facing a precarious situation with egg on their face.
Pakistan is a dangerous neighbor, we shouldn’t trust it. Cricket, hockey or cultural diplomacy will not work with Pakistan who has been exporting terrorism to India since decades.
U.S kept its promise for national pride. See what are our napping government and cynical politicians are doing, 2001 parliament attack protagonist, Afzal Guru is still alive though he was sentenced to death. More than 2 years have gone by since the horrific 26/11 Mumbai attack, the lone captured terrorist, Ajmal Kasab is still breathing.
Even in Osama’s killing, leaders like Digvijay Singh saw an opportunity to impress the vote bank. This opportunist from Congress has condemned the US president for irreligious funeral rendered to world’s most wanted terrorist, Osama. Can you tell me Digvijay Singh, when terrorists have no religion, then where is the question of Osama’s funeral with religious values?
Without doubt I can say there are some vested interests who are shielding Guru and Kasab from the gallows. They are running sinner agenda only for vote banks. Shame on such pseudo politicians and traitors.
