Osama: Scapegoat of US Multiple Aims:
Top Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a nighttime helicopter raid by US covert forces in Pakistan’s city, Abbottabad on May 2, 2011 at 1:15 am, ending a decade-long manhunt for the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks. US media reports revealed that Bin Laden’s body was buried at sea, in a bid to prevent his final resting place from becoming a shrine for extremists.
In a late night address, US President Obama disclosed “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.”
Obama also said that he had called Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari after Bin Laden’s death and said cooperation with the US anti-terror ally had helped lead American forces to the terror chief. On the same day, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton while pointing out that “our counter-terrorism cooperation over a number of years now with Pakistan contributed greatly to our efforts to dismantle Al-Qaeda…in fact, Pakistan’s intelligence helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound in which he was hiding.”
In this connection, some US officials also admitted that Pakistan was not informed about the operation.
