Washington
D.C. ---- May 1, 2011 ...... US President Barack Obama has just
announced that 9/11 terror attack mastermind, al-Qaida leader
Osama bin Laden, was killed by US special forces in Pakistan.
Tonight,
I can report to the American people and to the world that the
United States has conducted an operation that killed Usama bin
Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, said President Obama.
Obama
said bin Laden was not a Muslim leader, but a "mass murderer
of Muslims." The President said bin Laden was captured with
the help of Pakistani intelligence.
Bin
Laden was killed, along with other members of his family in a
mansion outside Islamabad.
Diplomats
in Israel congratulate the US President and the people of the
free world in this victory of democracy over Islamic Jihad.
After
reports of repeated initial denials, in 2004 Usama bin Laden claimed
responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United
States. The Islamic terror attacks involved the hijacking of four
US commercial passenger aircraft, the subsequent destruction of
those planes and the World Trade Center in New York City, New
York, severe damage to The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and
the deaths of 2,974 people and the nineteen hijackers.
In response to the 9/11 terror attacks, the US launched a War
on Terror to depose the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and capture
al-Qaeda operatives, and several countries strengthened their
anti-terrorism legislation to preclude future attacks. The CIA's
Special Activities Division was given the lead in tracking down
and killing or capturing bin Laden.
Israel
security analysts state that bin Laden death will have a direct
affect on Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah operations.
"US
Special Forces are to be complimented for having conducted a precise
operation in killing bin Laden, without losing any of their own
forces or any innocent civilians," said the security analyst."Islamic
Jihad has just lost a few more men to virgins in heaven. This
is a day for every democracy, every peace loving Muslim, Jew and
Christian to celebrate and embrace. But we must remember that
the war on terrorism is not yet over. The present government of
Iran is doing all they can to create nuclear weapons to use against
Israel, Europe and the US. We can smile about bin Laden, but must
not lose focus that Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sworn
to wipe Israel off the map. Israel will continue to take every
measure to insure the security of the people of Israel and all
citizens of the free, democratic world."
Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated: "This is a resounding
triumph for justice, freedom and the values shared by all democratic
nations fighting shoulder to shoulder in determination against
terrorism."
Israel
President Shimon Peres applauded the killing of Osama bin Laden,
saying that it was a great achievement for the US defense establishment,
US President Barack Obama and the free world.
"Bin
Laden was one of the biggest murderers in history and he received
his sentence," said Peres. "The world can breathe a
sigh of relief at seeing the punishment he received, despite the
fact that justice was late in coming."
The
news reaches Israel as the Jewish nation marks Holocaust Memorial
Day.
