The United States tracked him for years, he ended up being know for the greatest attacks of terrorism in the world. Osama Bin Laden started the al-Qaida group. In addition, Bin Laden embraced the belief of jihad which lead him to creating al-Qaida in 1988. Osama thought Muslims should stir up in holy war and try to create one Islamic State.

After years of hard work, the day had come where American heroes had to do what needed to be done. United States Navy SEAL Team Six is the most elite group of soldiers. "What sets SEALs apart is our diversity in terms of the environments in which we operate," said Captain Duncan Smith. President Obama authorized Operation Geronimo. The operation sent two teams of SEALs into Abbotabad, Pakistan by Blackhawk Helicopters. The helicopters to hovered over Bin Laden's compound dropping seals inside. One helicopter had engine failure inside the compound. The SEALs found Osama. The soldiers ordered for him to surrender, Bin Laden was then shot dead.

targets. On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda successfully accomplished its most devastating attack against the United States, killing nearly 3,000 civilians.

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
We had finally done it!! On May 7, 2011 Osama bin laden had finally paid his due for the attacks on 9/11 killing thousands and injuring many more he is now buried in the ocean due to his tradition it's really funny he bombed us and we can bury him by his tradition. Osama Bin Laden’s killing was justified because he started 9/11 and he threatened national security of our american citizens and the Navy SEALS that were on the assignment of killing Bin Laden; However some people may argue that the assassination of Osama Bin Laden was justified because he did not want Americans to influence his people.
Osama Bin Laden probably believed he did not want Western nations to view the influence of Muslim nations in negative ways, and it’s against their life and beliefs as Muslim. Osama Bin Laden came to conclusion that their ideology of resistance of United States and all alliances is as against to Muslims. He created a project that was estimated to be a year and a half long to plan an attack on the United States.The attack of 9/11 terror have killed roughly 3000 lives and destroyed many buildings and houses in New York. Today, not only America but also European Union countries became the target of terrorists. The terror tissue is the most challenging thing for all the governments to solve.
At the same time, members of the same terrorist group flew a passenger plane into the Pentagon. On that same day, Osama bin Laden, alleged leader of the Al Qaeda network and mastermind of the September 11th attack, became something of a new age Hitler. Instantaneously, he became a household name and later a target of a massive military operation.
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden was a Saudi Arabian that came from a very wealthy family. He was born the seventeenth child out of fifty-two to the family of billionaire Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden in Saudi Arabia. From an early age he was somewhat obsessed with religion and politics. During his time in school he was devoting more of his time and money to advance Islam and Islamism. While Bin Laden was studying at a university in 1979 he decided to join the Mujahedeen military in Pakistan that was combating Soviet Union forces in Afghanistan. Bin Laden gained popularity by assisting the Mujahedeen in finances, personnel recruitment, and arms supply. After the war he moved to Afghanistan and declared war on the United States. It was he who founded the Al-Qaeda, which was the group that masterminded the September 11 attacks on the United States, along other numerous terror attacks around the world. From 2001 till his death in 2011, bin Laden was the number one target of the war on terror with a $25-million-dollar bounty placed on his head by the FBI. He was eventually shot and killed in a compound in
On September 11, 2001 Osama Bin Laden, leader of the Al-Qa’ida terrorist group, ordered for 19 of his men to hijack four planes. Their plan was to attack certain points in the United States of America. The attacks were suppose to be on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the white house. Many innocent Americans and other nationalities were murdered by the terrorist that day. This day struck many years of conflict for both side with many years of war.
But Bin Laden, the object of the military campaign in Afghanistan, remained at large.” Many promises were made by the government that this terrorist would be found in no time. However, instead of finding their enemy, the government ended up killing several civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq just to make it look like as if they were working hard on their mission. What is even harder to believe is the fact that nearly seven years after the World Trade Center attacks, millions of civilians have been killed, but Osama has yet to be found.
Meticulous and tidy with his work, he lived off the grid for years. There were so many speculations as to where he was hiding and if he was even alive, that it took three presidential administrations to find and execute him. He was found and killed on May 2, 2011 in Pakistan. President Obama and the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, agreed that al-Qaeda would not be defeated until bin Laden was captured and or killed (Osama bin Laden). Bin Laden once said “I have sworn to only live free.
Where did the animosity which lead to the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001 originate? It is obvious at this point in time that the leader of the al Qaeda network, Osama bin Laden, was the mastermind behind the attacks, but the reasons why the attacks occurred and the fact that a small majority of people can support such acts remains very unclear. Osama bin Laden stated in his February 1998 Fatwah, “The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies- civilians and military- is an individual duty for every Muslim.” When examining the three direct reasons given by Osama bin Laden to kill Americans his reasoning based on factual evidence veers far from the truth and his
In 1988, Osama Bin Laden founded what is the most widely know terrorist network today, Al Qaeda. It started off small with only three members, but it grew vastly over the years. This is the organization that held the blame for the September 11th attacks on the United States, along with numerous other outbreaks against the world. In 1992 after establishing Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden was banished from Saudi Arabia, he then founded a new base in Afghanistan, where he declared a war against the United States, beginning a series of bombings and attacks. They were the ones responsible for the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. killing thousands of loved people, also for the bombings on things such as nightclubs, the Yemen Hotel, and a navy warship. Osama Bin Laden was one of the then most wanted fugitives and terrorists for his involvement in the U.S. embassy bombings. Even though the leader, Osama Bin Laden, was killed in 2011, the terrorist network still exists. Two days after his death, a new leader was elected. Osama Bin Laden was not the only one to be killed though, an FBI agent shot the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the leader of the Al Qaeda in East Africa was shot by a Policeman. Despite these killings, the Al Qaeda network is powerful and is still growing in the amount of their supporters. Al Qaeda is still a global threat because of their global supporters, financial means and their
One of the world’s deadliest terrorists, Osama bin Laden, has cause havoc throughout the world by committing terror acts carried out by his Islamic extremist group, Al- Qaeda. Bin Laden has caused many problems throughout the world by his terrorism and this all came to an end on May 2, 2011. Seal Team Six was sent into his bunker and put an end to his life and his 10-year hide out after the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Osama has been the leader of Al-Qaeda since 1988 and since then has committed numerous amounts of terror attacks on all parts of the world. Osama bin Laden has developed over time as a leader of Al-Qaeda, and through his beliefs of Muslim brotherhood, he developed into an extreme Islamic terrorist.
When President Barrack Obama mentioned of the September 11th attack, for a moment the wounds left in the hearts of the Americans started bleeding again. There was nothing that could that could stop the bleeding other than one statement: “the perpetrator of the attack has been brought to justice”. On the night of 2nd May 2011, the Americans were woken up by the unusual speech delivered by the 44th president of the United States of America. The speech began by the president mentioning one of the worst terror attacks that have ever happened on the American soil. At that moment, the citizens remained silent as they listened and watched the speech. All they
History has shown many times that a single human being is capable of vast influence among people and/or a society, especially for religious purposes. Generally, when people think about influential leaders tied to a religion, they think of the great leaders that strived for peace and equality for all, such as Mahatma Gandhi. Justly, the big religious figures who were not so great for the world are often not given any credit for being the influential, strong leaders that they were, such as Osama Bin Laden. Obviously no one wants to give props to someone who negatively impacted the world but many times these evil leaders are very similar to their opposites. Morals must be disregarded to make this comparison but it is worth making. As previously mentioned, the comparison going to be made is of polar opposites; Mahatma Gandhi and Osama Bin Laden. They both greatly influenced and affected the world based on actions they took because of their religious beliefs. One practiced Ahimsa, who preached non-violence, and the other one Jihad, who fought a war with non-believers. But which of their two messages was more successful; non-violence or violence? Not successful in regards to humanity or morals, but in influence, leadership, and how long their message resonated. Both religious figures will be evaluated from their beginnings in order to see all their influences and intentions, as well as the situations they were put in that pushed them to make the moves the did.
Ever since the beginning of the terrorist attacks on American soil, the War on Terror has been involved in the lives of Americans and nations near us. The War on Terror’s background originated through conflicts between warring countries in the Middle East; U.S. involvement started when a terrorist guided plane crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 in New York City. The attack was suspected to be the work of the middle-eastern terrorist group Al-Qaeda. The U.S. military, under the leadership of then commander-in-chief George W. Bush, declared a “War on Terror” on the terrorist group and the fighting began.
