Osama Bin Laden's Death

Osama was located in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan by the U.S military in which they sent in Navy Seals to take out the Al' Qaeda leader. Osama Bin Laden's historic death was on the day of May 2, 2011 and became world wide news very quickly.

The most wanted man on the face of the planet was killed by the U.S military. With huge news like that, any news station anywhere would want the first story on that to make themselves big money, so there were a bit of inaccuracies throughout many reports.

News stations were reporting his death even when there was absolutely no information about him. There was still non-stop talk about it everywhere, even outside of the United States of America and Pakistan.

Osama's death was announced by United States of America's  President Obama at the White House recorded live by Fox News. Fox News was the first to report of the incident and recorded outside of the white-house until Obama gave his speech.

CNN by had the most coverage on the story. After the first day of his death, they already had short documentaries about his life.

A lot of news CNN reported about how he died was supposedly very brief and inaccurate the first few days. Eventually, more information was released but some of the news of the operation was illegally released.

A book titled, "No Easy Day" was written by one of the men that carried out the operation of the terrorist's death and was about his first-hand experience during the mission. The Navy Seal that wrote the novel was discharged and fined for giving away too much confidential information in the novel.

Most news stations such as Fox, CNN, and ABC have reported that the body of Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea to show respect for his religion. Although they had first reported that, the same news stations brought up possible evidence that he wasn't buried at sea.

It had been reported on Wikileaks that there is leaked info that the Central Intelligence Agency had actually brought the body back to the United States of America for inspection and dumped a fake body into the ocean. However, it has been reported that the United States of America brought Osama's body back for inspection, but buried the body after to avoid even more religious fights.

Once the public people of the United States of America heard news of Osama Bin Laden's death there were huge celebrations and rally crowding the streets of New York, Washington D.C, the White House and many other major cities. There were some people who complained that it was "wrong" to celebrate the death of the Al' Qaeda leader, but there weren't much.

Europe had a very similar reaction. European Union Parliament says, "We woke up in a safer world". Not really anyone seemed to be complaining.

Middle Eastern countries had a few uprising, defending the Al' Qaeda (few). Countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan were just hoping to get the U.S military to finally leave their country.

The Taliban themselves vowed to get their revenge, but they have yet to make a big retaliation to any opposing country. They better hope they keep it that way.
