[Jacaylbaro]

Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, is dead.

 

US president Barack Obama said bin Laden, the most-wanted fugitive on the US list, has been killed on Sunday in a US operation in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, about 150km north of Islamabad.

 

"Tonight, I can report to the people of the United States and the world, the United States had carried an operation that has killed Osama Bin Laden, a terrorist responsible for killing thousands of innocent people," Obama said in a statement.

 

"Today, at my direction, the United States carried out that operation... they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body.

 

"The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date against Al Qaeda.

 

"We must also reaffirm that United states is not and will never be at war against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader, in fact, he slaughtered many Muslims," Obama said.

 

 

US celebrations

 

As the news of bin Laden's death spread, crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington to celebrate.

 

Former US president George Bush called his death a "momentous achievement".

 

"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," Bush said in a statement.

 

According to Al Jazeeera's Rosalind Jordan in Washington, the operation had been in the making for the last 9 or 10 months.

 

"The fact that it happened inside Pakistan, there have been suggestions that Pakistani intelligence may have been protecting them," she said.

 

Reporting from Pakistan, Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder said the development had caught a lot of people by surprise .

 

"He was considered by many as a hero, but not to the extent that people would come out on the streets. The reaction so far not likely to be strong on the streets, perhaps a protest here or there by the religious parties,." he said.

 

'Symbolic victory'

Qais Azimy, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Kabul, said Afghan officials described bin Laden's killing as a "symbolic victory", since he was no longer directly connected to the group's field operations.

Nonesense, after them realising that the boogyman cannot be found either because he is already dead or that he is way out of their league, this was their best effort of an exist strategy...

Ah, nice try. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no photos of Bin Laden's body were released.

Perhaps you should find some other means to keep the dead man alive through conspiracy?
