On Sunday night the world was informed that terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan. The news reporters quickly confirmed the rumors that Bin Laden was killed about a week ago, but the United States waited for DNA confirmation of the remains they have had in their possession while waiting for the President to start his press conference. It was announced about 10:15 that the White House would be holding a press conference at 10:30 pm EST on Sunday night. Finally about an hour later President Obama started his special address in the East Room to confirm what the reporters were saying.
While waiting for the President to come out and announce the death of Bin Laden large amounts of people quickly gathered outside the White House waving American flags and chanting U.S.A. in celebration of the death of the architect of the attack on 9/11. The people started running to the White House gates and the crowd quickly grew by the hundreds.
President Obama took to the podium at about 11:35 pm EST. He started by evoking emotional images from the 9/11 attacks. Remind us how the attacks brought us together as Americans. He continued with a brief history on the United States pursuit of Al Qaeda. Obama stated that he made it his mission to target and kill Bin Laden. After getting confirmed information on the location of Bin Laden in Pakistan he authorized an attack on his stronghold. In the process of a fire fight Bin Laden was shot and killed. Towards the end of his statement he made it clear that the attack on Al Qaeda and Bin Laden is not an attack on Islam. He also thanked the government of Pakistan for their help in eliminating the terrorist mastermind.
It was also reported that authorities around the world announced extreme caution in fear that Bin Laden’s death would spark outrage and acts of violence by Bin Laden followers. It is also speculated the United States will dispose of the body instead of giving it a burial in order to prevent Al Qaeda follows from turning his grave into a Mecca or shrine to give their terrorist actions more of a boost.
