Special Forces United States have killed the leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, has announced about half past eleven pm (half past five in Spain) U.S. President, Barack Obama. U.S. special forces shot dead the leader of Al Qaida in a mansion on the outskirts of Islamabad, in an operation in which no casualties were civilians or U.S. soldiers.
The president has said that the U.S. is the terrorist's body, a matter of vital importance to avoid the skepticism that the news itself cause the circuits solapodrÃa radical Islamists.
10 years after 11 S
The Islamist death comes 10 years after the attack September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers, which left 3,000 dead.
Kill Osama Bin Laden had become an obsession for the United States and has received numerous international operations. There was speculation on numerous occasions with his death and offered rewards for any track giddy about his whereabouts.
For U.S. pride was a wound too deep knowing the whereabouts of a tall, lanky 54-year, usually portrayed holding a Kalashnikov in his left arm leaning on a cane, he slept on the floor and ate vegetables, yogurt, soup and bread Afghanistan. Although
did not appear years in public, Bin Laden was still a symbol. The man who had achieved a dream than a decade ago seemed a chimera internationalize jihad and spread terror through alliances with partners around the world. Dozens of local cells, inspired by Bin Laden's speech, lose sleep intelligence chiefs from several continents. Osama Bin Laden
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.
After his experience in the Afghan war, Bin Laden has learned to live like a hermit, a practice that helped him blend in on the ground in the same way as do snakes.
Father of 'jihadism'
international
The core of Bin Laden's thinking 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.
In Spain the figure was related to the attacks of 11 M, which he acknowledged with pride .
The nine lives of
emir Osama bin Laden, the man most wanted and feared the planet, is 53 years old feeds on plants, Afghan bread, soup, goat milk and yogurt, meat and does not prove always sleeps on the floor, often protected by the stars. When I lived in Saudi Arabia forced their children to rest on the weekends on the sand of the desert and among animals. "They have too many amenities," complained then the rich Saudi businessman.
Now in his hideout, probably a village or cave hidden loss of Waziristan (Pakistan), there is a single seat, no one who lived with him remember, or shower, television, washing machine, computers, telephones and not satellites. Only books and carpets.
traveled since 1984 to Afghanistan to join the jihad against the Soviets, Bin Laden lives like a hermit, a practice that has helped him blend in on the ground in the same way they do poisonous snakes. To stop, the Pakistani military should stick their nose into the thousands of shacks and caves in this inhospitable tribal territory controlled by the Taliban and question their inhabitants. Especially those that are taller than 180 centimeters tall, the only feature of his physique that the thin, bearded emir can not hide.
's recent military offensive in South Waziristan in Pakistan raised hopes of capturing the man who has become a unhealthy obsession with the agencies responsible for U.S. intelligence, but news of his death were only speculation. To Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan's president, announced that "Bin Laden may have died", but suspect glassy intelligence service, the implacable and formidable ISI, has failed to show this.
Dozens of audio and video of the head of Al Qaeda who lives and show the bloody time and success in the global jihad against the West have further reaffirmed their dreams and goals. Last Christmas, Bin Laden took the unsuccessful attempt by Nigerian Omar Faruk, trained in Yemen, to explode a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit (USA). "Our attacks will continue while continuing U.S. support to Israel," he said again. In March he released another different message. On this occasion came to the defense of the man who gave and executed the brutal attack, dramatic and universal: the killing of 11-S in 2001 in the heart of his enemy. Three thousand dead in one fell swoop.
assassinate Bin Laden announced that any American that if you run to capture Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 11-S, was arrested in Pakistan and imprisoned in Guantanamo.
Within a year will mark a decade since Osama and Ayman al Zawahiri, his squire Egyptian, refuge in the caves of Tora Bora after the attacks of 11-S and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Nobody would have bet then the seven lives of Osama.
Objective: kill Osama Bin Laden
Saudi Arabia proposed to unite the forces of six countries to capture or kill the leader of Al Qaeda, according to secret documents show the Department of State U.S.
Kill Osama Bin Laden has become an obsession that no international president announced publicly, but that for years say they are hearing. Saudi Arabia proposed merging forces from six countries to assassinate the leader of Al Qaeda and his squire, the doctor Egyptian Ayman al Zawahiri, the world's most wanted terrorists, according to secret diplomatic documents seen by COUNTRY.
The proposal came from the Saudi Prince Turki al Faisal, 65, former director of intelligence and one man who best knows bin Laden and the Afghan reality. Saudi former ambassador in Britain and the U.S., educated at American universities of Princeton and Cambridge, and before the 11-S was about to achieve what seemed impossible: that the Taliban turn to Saudi Arabia and the elusive bearded Osama when he directed Afghan terrorist training camps.
The proposal for a plan set of six countries to hunt Bin Laden came during a meeting of the Saudi prince with U.S. Ambassador James B. Smith, in February 2010 in Riyadh. Turki al-Faisal stated that Saudi Arabia, USA, China, Russia, Afghanistan and Pakistan could join forces and share assets to capture or kill leaders of Al Qaeda. "This would break the aura of invincibility of the terrorists and allow the U.S. to declare victory and move (in Afghanistan)," ventured the son of King Faisal, was murdered in 1975, one of the most influential and well informed of the kingdom. The story appears in a secret cable from the State Department in the U.S..
Prince negotiated face to face in Afghanistan by Mullah Mohammed Omar, ally and protector of Bin Laden, the delivery of the leader of Al Qaeda, and then considered a serious threat to Saudi Arabia, but after a verbal agreement, the Taliban leader, which continues fled, broke his commitment. In those negotiations accompanied him Nasim Rana, the then head of the powerful and sinister ISI, Pakistan's secret service.
Next September 11 marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, which caused 3,000 deaths, but the U.S. has succeeded in discovering the whereabouts of a tall, lanky 54-year holding Kalashnikov with his left arm rests on a cane, sleeping on the ground and feeds on vegetables, yogurt, soup and bread Afghanistan. A man who has been a dream than a decade ago seemed a chimera internationalize jihad and spread terror through alliances with partners around the world. Dozens of local cells, inspired by Bin Laden's speech, lose sleep intelligence chiefs from several continents.
The failure to find Bin Laden is an evidence, but the secret cables from the State Department show the importance that the Western leaders gave first to his capture and now his death. In a confidential report from the U.S. embassy in London, dated December 2, 2009, ensures that the Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, during a phone conversation "that Pakistan would wipe out bin Laden." The note contains the meeting in London between Brown and Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani. British politician he claimed to extend its fight against extremism, eliminate terrorist safe havens and increase dialogue with India. Gilani was unhappy with the language of Brown exhaustive.
The international community seems suspicious enough of the unwillingness of the Pakistani secret services (ISI) in the hunt for bin Laden, because everything indicates that the Saudi terrorist and al-Zawahiri are hiding in front of their noses in the region tribal North Waziristan, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, a mountainous territory of 11,585 meters square whose villages attack the Predator unmanned aircraft the U.S. military.
A confidential cable from the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, capital of the Republic of Tajikistan, bordering Afghanistan, dated December 2009, is a good example of this malaise. Ambassador Kenneth Gross informed Washington of a meeting with General Abdullo Sadulloevich Nazarov, head of the National Security Committee, which this explains the rise of Islamist groups in its territory and that "could have destroyed them long ago if other countries do not had manipulated by terrorist groups to its geopolitical objectives. "
" In fact, in Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden is not an invisible man and many know their whereabouts in North Waziristan, but when security forces attempt a raid on their hideouts the enemy receives notice of sources of security forces themselves. "A clear nod towards the Pakistani secret service ISI and troubling ties to terrorist leaders of Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayba.
The suspicions of secret services from Pakistan especially from India, its traditional rival. A secret cable from the U.S. embassy in New Delhi, dated December 2006 reflects the views of AS Dulat, exresponsable of India's foreign intelligence agency, RAW, who assured the diplomats that "if Pakistan wants to stop terrorism, you can do", and advised that further U.S. pressed the then President Pervez Musharraf. And went further: the ISI "Osama Bin Laden allows to be free."
What do the Pakistanis? During an interview in 2009 with several U.S. representatives, Rehman Malik, Pakistan's Interior Minister, received a very direct question from Gabrielle Giffords, Democratic Sen. seriously injured last January in a U.S. bombing that killed eight People: "What do you know the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden." Malik replied: "I have no idea," adding he does not believe is in their country. A confidential cable from the embassy in Islamabad includes the meeting and added that, according to Malik, bin Laden could have traveled with his family to Iran. "Alternatively, it could be hiding in Saudi Arabia or Yemen, or perhaps dead," said the Pakistani minister. The presence of relatives of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iran last year when he met Iman, one of his daughters, arrived at the Saudi embassy in Tehran and confessed that he had fled the house in which retained their hosts. In Tehran there are at least two dozen children, political daughters, cousins \u200b\u200band grandchildren of the terrorist. Osama Bin Laden
lives. We show videos and audios that stars from his escape in 2001 to the caves of Tora Bora during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. In the past, issued a few days ago by the Al-Jazeera threat to French President Nicolas Sarkozy and ensures that the order to kill French hostages in Niger if France did not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
The CIA lost its great opportunity to kill Bin Laden. It was in 1999 in the desert of Kandahar (Afghanistan), when the terrorist was accompanying a group of Emirates Falconers real United Arab Houbara hunting, a rare and beautiful bird. The bodyguard of a prince informed of the situation in the camp. The Predator heated engines, but George Tenet, then CIA chief, opposed. The White House negotiated a sale of aircraft by 8,000 million dollars to United. Kill Bin Laden without the royal entourage suffered casualties was very difficult. Since then, all information received by the CIA have proved a fiasco.
Saudi Arabia plays a central role in the Afghan conflict and its relationship with the leaders of that country, Pakistan, its economic power and leadership in the Muslim world. The proposal of Prince Turki Al Faisal to join forces in six countries in the capture of Bin Laden took place weeks before Richard Holbrooke, Obama's special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, visited Riyadh. Holbrooke died last December by a tear in the aorta could not see his dream of catching the leader of Al Qaeda. Zardari, Pakistani President Washington attended the funeral of a diplomat.
The secret report which set out the plan relates the conversation that the U.S. ambassador in Riyadh had with a senior Saudi intelligence services, and the latter's reluctance to report on mediation that his "intelligence channels" held with Taliban leaders and Afghan officials. "The discussions are delicate and fears that U.S. involvement could derail its progress," says the cable.
A secret report of Colin Powell, dated November 3, 2001, entitled The Future of Afghanistan promised: "Eliminate Bin Laden and his associates in Afghanistan is only the first step of the process." When will serve 10 years after the invasion, the head of Al Qaeda, Salafi and ascetic at heart, still alive and the process has completed successfully. Source
