I want justice there's an old poster out

west as I recall that said wanted dead

or alive

Osama bin Laden and 9/11 changed the

world forever all into privilege the

charismatic Islamic extremists will die

as the 21st century's face of evil

he became a religious fascist you either

agree with me or you don't

and I'm gonna kill you if you don't this

is a story of a man whose anti-western

rhetoric turns him into an idol and

motivator to militant Muslims around the

world

he believed he was a kind of Islamic

Messiah that could take the struggle to

other countries but in the end even his

deep pockets and sinister creativity

aren't enough to keep him as the leading

voice of global jihad

[Music]

[Music]

ten years that's how long the US has

been hunting the man responsible for the

worst terrorist attack in its history

and now as a security satellite watches

a tall man pacing around an enclosed

garden the CIA think they have him in

their sights so on May the 1st 2011 in

the pre-dawn hours of the morning two

fully loaded stealth Blackhawk

helicopters approached the garden

compound on a mission directly approved

by the president

a team of elite US Navy SEALs blast

their way in the long arm of American

justice has come for the world's most

wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden

in 1957 Osama bin Laden is born to one

of the richest families in Saudi Arabia

the birthplace of Islam extremely

wealthy family considered pretty much up

in the upper social echelon to Saudi

Arabia asama means lion in Arabic and

he's the 17th of 54 children from his

father Mohammed's 22 wives

Mohammed bin Laden is a self-made

billionaire learning his fortune in the

construction business

he built a lot of the Saudi palaces he

built roads there are airports he became

the most powerful most influential

non-royal in Saudi Arabia and they

remain that today the bin Laden company

is sort of the Bechtel

of the Middle East they called him the

contractor to the king

throughout his childhood

Osama involves himself in his father's

work and receives training in explosives

to blast out mountains for roadways

knowledge he will one day but to use

with devastating effect

he also gets something else from his

father his faith which will dominate

every aspect of his life Osama bin

Laden's father was very very devout

Muslim what he did wasn't still a very

very pious attitude you know that you

read the Quran you become very very

familiar with the Prophet and that the

model of the Prophet is the way to model

your own life he venerated the Prophet

Muhammad and also the the global

borderless side of Islam in terms of

eventually Islamic faith being the fate

of the entire world critically bin Laden

learns how the Prophet Mohammed wasn't

just a religious figure but also a great

jinn who believed in spreading Islam

through warfare but at this stage he's

like any other young man growing up

according to his mother he played

football went to picnics rode horses and

socialized he never caused me to worry

about him in his teenage years he was

described as a very intelligent very

generous very kind by all accounts is

very well liked by the people that knew

him in Saudi Arabia as he was growing up

I think most who met him remarked on his

soft-spoken as' and his gentility in

terms of dealing with other people

[Music]

in 1968 tragedy strikes the ten-year-old

when his father dies in a plane crash

but bin Laden inherits between 30 and 80

million dollars which is held in trust

until he's 21 he inherited a large sum

of money from his father but his faith

continued to kind of regulate and

control his life this fortune would

enable bin Laden to become one of the

largest financial sponsors of Islamic

extremist activities in the world

in 1978 at the age of 20 he enrolls as a

student at the King Abdulaziz University

in Jeddah

he studies very Western subjects

economics Business Administration

management and his father's trade civil

engineering

[Music]

but then events abroad start affecting

him deeply Atlantians university days

came at a time when the muslim world had

been shocked by the defeat by the

israelis in the 67 war bin Laden turned

his generation the generation of defeat

and so that it was a time of looking for

answers how do we Muslims be able to

stand up for themselves this is when he

comes across the works of the radical

Palestinian professor Abdullah Azzam

Azam was a very very chief member of the

Islamic Muslim Brotherhood and Azam

essentially became bin Laden's mentor a

refugee from the Palestinians struggle

against Israel Azam believes religion

and politics are completely intertwined

nizam was almost fanatical in his desire

to see the elimination of the State of

Israel through violent jihad - Azam most

Palestinians are Muslims and an attack

on one Muslim is an attack on all his

motto is brutally uncompromising the

rifle alone no negotiations no

conferences and no dial Bin Ladin very

much took that to heart and used it as

the core of his appeal to the Muslim

world implacable violent jihad or holy

war will ultimately become the defining

force in bin Laden's version of Islam

though at this stage he's just a young

man with ideas he has no cause that is

until another event abroad turns him

from idealistic student into a warrior

and terrorist

Soviet tanks rolled into Afghanistan on

Christmas Eve 1979 the Soviet invasion

of Afghanistan 1979 is seminal because

it's the first time that a Western power

saw a Union invade a Muslim country and

tries to overcome his land

bin Laden is particularly struck by how

the Afghan people fight back

especially the Mujahideen the Islamic

holy warriors

mujahideen and inspirational then you

have a group who in fact represent Islam

and will fight the infidel and will

fight for the future of Islam the words

of his mentor Abdullah Azzam

suddenly become lead an attack on

Muslims is an attack on Islam he has to

go there

[Music]

the 23 year old Osama bin Laden arrives

in Peshawar Pakistan just 30 miles from

the Afghan border a shower which was

more or less the headquarters of jihad

in northern Afghanistan was really a

milieu of what we would call today

radical Islamists from around the world

he sees a city teeming with Mujahideen

drawn from many different countries to

fight the holy war against the Russians

and he quickly realizes that he has

little to offer as a fighter he has no

military training or battle experience

but he does have one thing

money

you're nuttin started out financing the

operation providing money and weapons

and equipment to the Afghan fighters the

Mujahideen he doesn't just use his own

money to fund the Afghan resistance he

lobbies wealthy Saudis back home bin

Laden was treated by the Saudi

government as sort of the poster boy for

the success of their educational system

and their religious system because

here's this billionaires son who could

have lived in Monaco or in Switzerland

and here he is in Afghanistan as a

fundraiser he's brilliant

bringing in 50 million dollars a year

for his Muslim brothers

[Music]

but by 1984 he realizes that the Afghan

resistance needs more than money it

needs organization with thousands of

Arab fighters from Egypt Syria and

Jordan flooding into the city to support

the Mujahideen as chaos so bin Laden

steps in to establish order Osama bin

Laden's set up the Services Bureau in

1984 of the back table al-qaeda Matt it

assisted foreign fighters coming into

Afghanistan making sure they were housed

and fed and taken to training camps or

to Afghanistan using his business school

discipline bin Laden professional eise's

the process he tracks every recruits

movements monitors and assesses their

progress through training camps and

their successes in battle he personally

finances this operation to the tune of

300 thousand dollars a year

he also uses the family's construction

company to funnel in new recruits build

tunnels and mountain hideaways to

protect them from Soviet bombers but

live and they said well we're really

vulnerable to is Soviet and Afghan

government airpower and we really need

positions where we can protect our

soldiers to protect their supplies care

for our wounded in protected areas in

bin Laden brought in construction

equipment tunnel digging equipment dump

trucks bulldozers from his parents

company he earned a reputation as the

young man who rode the bulldozer in the

midst of bullets it was not exactly that

he was a fighter but he he was a combat

engineer and apparently a very good one

yet for all his skills as an organizer

and logistics man it's not enough he

yearns to be a holy warrior and kill the

enemies of Islam himself

these first steps are only the beginning

to the unimaginable cruelty and

terrorist operations he'll spearhead all

over the world

in the summer of 1986 is finally allowed

to become a warrior in the center of the

action when it became time to get his

hands dirty he was one of the first

people on the frontlines this is

something that really ingratiated or

someone will add into his peers and how

to developed his legend he finds war

intoxicating at last he's battling for

his faith against a godless enemy

[Music]

something terrifying is unleashed in the

once shy and gentle young man in London

one particular horrific battle where the

Mujahideen was almost defeated in one

encounter as part of a patrol of just 50

Arabs he fights off an assault from a

far superior trained and equipped Soviet

force who's a very brutal battles that

you're talking tank warfare artillery

helicopter gunships Osama was by all

accounts a ferocious warrior a senior

Afghan commander at the time said I

watched him with his Kalashnikov in his

hand under fire from mortars and the

multi barrel of rocket launchers

at this stage bin Laden is cutting

unheroic figure on the battlefield

before he arrived his fighters with

gangs who slowly go silent almost as if

they sensed his arrival so there's a

huge mystique built up very quickly

around this man his mystique grows

thanks to how he lives his life the son

of extreme privilege asks no special

favors and it all adds to his charisma

he was very respected by the people he

fought alongside because for the tsiyon

of a billionaire he slept with them many

he ate the food they ate the Afghans

became very devoted to him and very

loyal to him because of his actions in

support of their cause by now it isn't

just Afghans who revere him Arab

journalists based in Peshawar publish

reports of his battlefield heroics

throughout the Middle East

this gives bin-laden a reputation and

status in the militant Muslim world he's

never experienced before and a

confidence to take his jihad to a whole

new level

[Music]

in 1986 a summer bin Laden is introduced

to dr. Ayman al-zawahiri

a respected surgeon and leader of a

militant Egyptian fundamentalist group

it's a relationship that marks a shift

in bin Laden's focus from holy warrior

to international terrorist is a lucky

find for Osama bin Laden in the sense

that his organization had some very

talented military people former military

officers Egyptian special forces

officers security people policemen bomb

makers munitions handlers Hama Harry's

version of jihad is that there is only

one correct form of Islam there's and

that anyone even fellow Muslims who

don't rise up to support them are fair

targets if you didn't worship the right

way if you didn't pray the right way if

you didn't believe these things you

really were just another infidel Muslim

perhaps but I'm but an infidel and he

was willing to kill all kinds with all

kinds of people

[Music]

Zawahiri also believes they should

concentrate their fight on what he calls

the near enemy those countries in the

Arab world who lack his fanaticism

though bin Laden is drawn to

al-zawahiri's extremism in one respect

he wants to go even further

jihad should be spread everywhere

bin Laden said you know that's never

going to work we need to have a bigger

impact in the world if we're going to do

what we want to do if the jihad is to be

accomplished that same year

bin Laden reveals what he means by

everywhere he delivers his first speech

denouncing the United States

the Americans take our money and give

them to the Jews so that they can kill

our children with it in Palestine

in preparation for global jihad bin

Laden sets up an organization he calls

the base in Arabic al Qaeda

there are four basic components to the

al-qaeda organization at its inception

the first is to field fighters for

training advising and combat

the second is administrative the third

deals with religious matters issuing

fatwas and developing courses for

members the fourth is a media propaganda

win later bin Laden will add it's a

military faction there were righteous

mission and the mission is in fact to

destroy Western influence but also to

defend Islam though which is very

important that they are in fact the

soldiers of the right they are righteous

and they and this belief is very strong

from the time bin-laden organized

al-qaeda he viewed it as an enduring

organization that would move on it from

after Afghanistan to help Muslims who

were defending Islam in other areas of

the world he saw it as the vanguard of a

bigger movement of a bigger jihad he was

outspoken if you will in his saying that

we are just a small group of people our

job is to inspire instigate other

Muslims to join the jihad and I think

that message was a very powerful one

[Music]

bin Laden's global vision was what drove

the whole thing and of course his

financing he was the first Islamic

jihadist that had the finances not just

the finances but the leadership

capability to actually pull this off he

now does something extraordinary he

demands that all its members swear a

religious oath to him personally in one

step he goes from being one among many

holy warriors into a cult-like figure in

whose name his servants will terrorize

the world it changed everything now he

believed he was a kind of Islamic

Messiah that could take this struggle to

other countries

[Music]

in 1989 Russia's war in Afghanistan

finally comes to an end the Soviets are

humiliated and withdrawn the defeat of

the Soviet Union and their push out of

Afghanistan was a huge moment for bin

Laden

claiming credit for the Afghan victory

the al-qaeda leader speaks of two vital

lessons their victory teaches

he realized that he can achieve a great

deal in terms of composing enormous

amounts of violence on your enemy even

though they must may be much better

armed than you secondly he believes

victory is proof that God is on his side

bin Laden's thought it was essential to

make this a victory granted of course by

Allah but a victory for the entire

Islamic world and not just for the

Afghans

it showed that Arabs could stand up on

the battlefield and defeat a superpower

from 1989 onwards a summer bin Laden no

longer wastes any time wondering whether

his enemies can be beaten

it's how they can be beaten having

brought down one superpower he now

focuses on the other what he sees as the

biggest evil the United States

a year after the Soviet forces are

routed the brutal Iraqi dictator Saddam

Hussein moves 100,000 soldiers onto the

qat and Saudi borders ready to invade

bin Laden returns to his home country

Saudi Arabia and immediately sends a

message to the Saudi royal family

offering to form an army of 30,000

Afghan veterans to defeat Saddam an

offer that is rejected

one of the most significant events in

bin Laden's life which eventually led to

9/11 was the Saudi government rebuffed

his request and told him no thank you

we don't need you we've got the United

States for bringing the United States in

to Saudi Arabia the prophets is reputed

to have said on his deathbed that I that

if I live there will be no other

religion on the arab peninsula but islam

and i think bin Laden was

extraordinarily offended by the Saudis

decision to invite Christians to defend

them

but laden watches as 300,000 male and

female US soldiers arrived in his

country they set about building vases

drinking alcohol and sunbathing wave

after wave as American troops came in to

Saudi Arabia and established bases was

abomination upon abomination for Osama

bin Laden and the Saudi royal family was

welcoming at all in his eyes the infidel

US cannot be the salvation of Saudi

Arabia the American government has made

the greatest mistake in entering the

peninsula that no religion from the

non-muslim States has entered for 14

centuries it literally changed him and

his money would not stop until he saw

the United States destroy but when bin

Laden asks fellow Muslims to rise up

against this outrage the Saudi regime

grows uneasy breeds his home and places

him under house arrest they wanted him

banished they took away his citizenship

cut off the 7 million dollar stipend his

family was getting and literally just

disconnected him from Saudi Arabia

considering him now a threat directly to

the royal family with the Saudi

government threatening to imprison him

he flees to Sudan where there's an

Islamic government

in the early 1990s the radical National

Islamic Front are in power and Sudan has

a reputation as a safe haven for

terrorist organizations

[Music]

it is also a bankrupt country that needs

money bin Laden is invited in and

becomes known as a walking bank

he had to build roads major motorways

various engineering projects he employed

a lot of local people and he was very

much welcomed in Sudan for a long time

all this is simply cover for bin Laden's

real operations

he sets up a new headquarters for

al-qaeda in a rich suburb of Khartoum in

1992 and establishes a series of

investment transportation agricultural

and construction companies

all are designed and operated to secure

explosives weapons and chemicals for his

terrorist organization there were

stories about whilst developing the

wealth in Sudan a plane went from Sudan

carrying sugar and came back absolutely

jam-packed full of rifles explosives

rocket-propelled grenades from

Afghanistan

bin Laden seems to have disappeared off

the radar

then in 1993 he announces himself to the

Western world

[Music]

over 1,000 are injured when a bomb

explodes under New York's World Trade

Center six are dead

although the direct connection with

al-qaeda was never established most

scholars believe it was in the showers

but it was there

the CIA certainly take bin Laden

extremely seriously and set up a special

unit to focus on him

it's called the asama bin Laden unit and

is led by Mike Sawyer it's clear that

they are dealing with a terrorist the

likes of which they have never seen

before we had in 1996 Sudanese walk into

one of our embassies in East Africa and

it turns out that the gentleman was a

bodyguard of Osama bin Laden while he

was living in the Sudan what he

described was an organization unlike any

we had seen and it was involved not just

in bombing and fighting but it was

involved in trying to procure or build

weapons of mass destruction

in May 1996 bin Laden leaves Sudan for

Afghanistan where he's welcomed with

open arms by the militant Islamic

Taliban regime

I think when you see how bin Laden was

welcomed back into Afghanistan you can

see that the Afghans perceive themselves

under debt to him not only monetary debt

but also under personal debt for the

risks he took with his own life during

their war against the communists

al-qaeda's reputation now grows to a

whole new level

his stance against American values and

the feebleness of the Saudi regime makes

him a hero to radical Muslims and people

who believe they are the underdogs all

over the world

drawn by the chance to fight back

against American imperialism thousands

of Muslims from Kashmir Pakistan India

and the Soviet republics come flooding

to his cause and he trains his new

recruits in bomb-making and terrorist

tactics

all the while he ramps up his

anti-american rhetoric in February 1998

he says to kill Americans and the allies

both civil and military is an individual

duty of every Muslim who's able until

their armies shattered and broken winged

depart from all the lands of Islam

incapable of threatening any Muslim

he adds a new dimension to his skills as

a military organizer a truly evil

terrorist imagination one of the

dramatic changes and of his operational

techniques was when he changed and began

using suicide bombers in his attacks

what that created for the first time in

history was an army of essentially smart

bombs these were bombs with human brains

that could they could think they could

navigate and commit acts of terror that

up till that time could never be

committed in such a an operational

fashion

on August the 7th 1998 a truck is driven

into the US Embassy in Kenya

the suicide bomber kills 213 people

including 12 Americans and wounding

4,600 most of the victims a Kenyan

civilians he had made a transition from

as Saudi socialite a wealthy person into

this horrible mass murderer that could

care less about the death of innocent

people

four minutes later a second suicide bomb

at the US Embassy in Tanzania explodes

eleven are killed eighty-four injured

this is the first time bin Laden does

what will become his signature the

multiple attack

they became more and more ruthless and

specifically focusing on American

interests and American people and

calling for Muslims to start killing

them these acts of terrorist violence

are abhorrent they are inhuman we will

use all the means at our disposal

in retaliation president clinton fires

75 cruise missiles at al-qaeda camps in

Afghanistan other missiles demolish a

factory in Sudan but these attacks only

anger the Muslim world and feed bin

Laden's image as an Islamic hero

he goads America further I am not afraid

of the American threats against me as

long as I am Alive there will be no rest

for the enemies of Islam I will continue

my mission against them it's a cold

blooded promise

next he targets the US military

a small boat manned by suicide bombers

rips a massive hole in the

billion-dollar American destroyer the

USS Cole in the port of Aden killing 17

American sailors 39 others are injured

[Music]

but for all his success

bin Laden's terrorism isn't achieving

his goal his aim is to lure the u.s. to

attack him inside Afghanistan where they

have no allies and where they can be

picked off from the hills by guerillas

just like what happened with the Soviets

in the 80s his inspiration is Vietnam

they looked at the example of Vietnam

Americans at half a million troops in

Vietnam but the end up by being defeated

so therefore this great Satan in the

West which appears to be very very

powerful military power can be defeated

for that tactic to work he needs to find

a way to make sure the Americans come

after him he really thought they needed

a big attack and he was always a man who

likes big things in terms of actions

Osama bin Laden will devise a plan so

evil it will change the world forever

and force America to give him the

attention he craves the vision which

they had for 9/11 were to deliver such a

blow to the United States it will so

antagonize the Americans that they will

overreact so the head of al-qaeda dusts

off an old idea that has been floating

around since 1995 bin Laden was aware of

what's called the Bojinka plot which was

a plot to use Airlines coming from

foreign countries into the United States

and explode those planes

the original plan involves hijacking and

flying ten planes piloted by suicide

operatives into ten targets on America's

east and west coasts

it fits in with his favor demo of

hitting multiple targets at the same

time

bin Laden decides to streamline the idea

he will use fewer planes but strike at

the very heart of American values their

businesses military systems and centers

of political power in bin Laden's mind

the World Trade Center towers were the

representation of what America was in

his mind he the mystic materialistic and

moral greedy exporting that greed and

that money all around the world it

doesn't matter to him that these are

civilian targets including some Muslims

it was okay to attack symbolic targets

even if they included innocent civilians

because that was Allah's will if they

were good Muslims think they would go to

heaven if they weren't they would not

and his developing ideology that was

just fine the 21st century's most

vicious terrorist now brings together

all his knowledge and everything that

has ever motivated

his business studies and organizational

skills his ability to raise vast sums of

money and to mobilize recruits from

anywhere in the world his knowledge of

covert operations and how to obtain

weapons his expertise in explosives

learned from his father and his

knowledge of civil engineering and how

buildings are constructed so for bin

Laden - to begin to plan an attack

against a building and his understanding

of actually hitting a building it fit

right into his construction background

bin Laden will later recall their

expectations when the first plane hits

the World Trade Center tower but for all

his expertise he vastly underestimates

the effectiveness of the impact we

calculated and advanced the number of

casualties from the enemy who would be

killed on the position of the tower we

calculated that the floors that would be

hit would be three or four floors due to

my experience in this field I was

thinking that the fire from all the fuel

in the plane would hit all the floors

above it only this is all we hoped for

[Music]

in the autumn of 1999 bin Laden

personally chooses the four main suicide

operatives forty calls the plane's

operation the lead hijacker the Egyptian

born Mohammed Atta is an aspiring

jihadist living in Germany he selected

for his anti-american fervor his fluency

in English and his familiarity with life

in the West the other three are all long

term al-qaeda veterans who swear loyalty

to bin Laden a year earlier in all

nineteen operatives will carry out the

suicide attacks

Osama bin Laden that say they were doing

something which would in fact mean that

they would be martyrs and heroes which

would help Islam and would help the

whole Muslim world to make sure the

operation bares his signature he

explains that all the planes hijacked in

the United States must be crashed or

exploded at nearly the same time to

maximize the psychological impact

[Music]

on the morning of September the 11th

2001 Osama bin Laden invites guests

round to listen to the news on his radio

[Music]

immediately we heard the news that our

plane and hit the World Trade Center the

brothers were overjoyed

he tells his guests be patient more is

to come

Osama bin Laden had learned that one of

the rules of war is surprise

your greatest ally his surprise and he

achieved that

yes

the operation succeeds beyond his

wildest dreams

now everyone around the world knows his

name it was a live televised almost

hollywood-esque

terrorist event and this constituted the

most successful terrorist attack of all

time in the days following the 9/11

attacks throughout the Middle East young

men in cafes with what the event being

played over and over on television and

week with joint admiration over what bin

Laden had achieved

a total of two thousand nine hundred and

seventy seven people are killed in New

York City Washington DC and Pennsylvania

[Music]

[Applause]

it was just a scene of utter horror the

shock on people's faces the funerals the

endless funerals of firemen and

civilians having been killed in in the

collapse of the two towers was it was

really really tragic photographers

weeping for us as they witnessed him I

think America was deep in shock this had

never happened to them before following

the attacks bin Laden pronounces America

has been hit by Allah at his most

vulnerable point destroying thank God

its most prestigious buildings six days

after the 9/11 attacks the US president

george w bush declares

I want Tim Hill I want I want justice

and there's an old poster out west that

recall that said wanted dead or alive

Asama bin Laden becomes America's Most

Wanted

with a 25 million dollar reward on his

head the hunt for the world's most evil

terrorist is on

just as bin Laden has wanted all along

America at last invades Afghanistan the

Americans launched their war on terror

betweenness they would go anywhere in

the world and use military force to

eliminate anything ariados al Qaeda or

terrorist group

US planes carry out heavy bombing raids

on al-quaeda positions and elite Delta

Force commandos search for bin Laden

deep inside the Tora Bora caves but he

eludes capture fleeing to Pakistan

[Music]

bin Laden disappeared from the world

scene the CI in virtually every other

Allied intelligence service in the world

was trying to find out where he was as

the head of al-qaeda hides from his

American hunters he releases video and

audio taped messages which reach

audiences of millions and inspire

terrorist attacks around the world bin

Laden and his personality had now

replicated itself in some of ad hoc

groups that were now carrying out

attacks as if they were allocated

[Music]

but if the aim of 911 was to spark a

massive Islamic uprising it fails

horrific as these attacks are the West

remains stable

[Music]

instead bin Laden is forced to hole up

in a secret compound enclosure in

Abbottabad at the foothills of the

Himalayas

in Pakistan

at first he fears the possibility of

being seen during his daily walks in the

garden he knew he was being hunted from

the skies he knew that you know just one

sighting by a drone the six foot three

figure would lead to his annihilation

to evade American eyes he follows

exceptional security procedures he uses

no electronic devices and communicates

only via a trusted courier but as the

years of seclusion grow there are

consequences

he becomes irrelevant forced isolation

means that he can no longer be the

leader of extreme Islam bin Laden was no

longer the active commander that he used

to be was the most wanted man on earth

couldn't go anywhere he was wasting away

trapped inside his own prison I protest

to God so much about my isolation and

being alone I worried people will tire

of me and will become old and worn out

to them but I protest only to God over

time bin Laden becomes a shell of his

former self and his days are endlessly

mundane mostly the accounts that we

received indicated that he simply sat

inside most of the day watching videos

of his old speeches over and over and

over

in 2010 as he continues his walks alone

around his garden he has no idea that an

NSA satellite is watching it has spotted

a mysterious tall man constantly walking

in circles the CIA are notified the

agents give the mysterious man the

nickname the Pacer and they plan to get

him in the small hours of the morning on

May the 1st 2011 the world's most wanted

terrorist is awoken by the sound of an

explosion he turns to his wife and says

doc turn on the light it is the last

words he will ever say

Navy SEALs burst into the compound they

find the al-qaida leader in an upstairs

bedroom with a pistol and an assault

rifle nearby

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 over

the next 24 hours bin Laden is buried in

a religious funeral at sea so his body

can never become a shrine but even so

Islamic terrorism hasn't gone away as

one fanatical leader dies another

movement is born right now as you can

see by simply looking around the fire is

spread everywhere it's the

responsibility of Osama bin Laden but

he's no longer necessary for it by

convincing impressionable young men that

he alone followed the correct form of

Islam that he had a god-given right to

determine who should live and die and

that anyone who opposed him was inferior

and should be condemned

bin Laden applied much the same

psychological tricks as Hitler they

allowed him to create a culture which

justifies terrorism and brutality but by

his own terms

Osama bin Laden is a failure there has

been no Islamic uprising against the

West and the Arab world remains in

absolute turmoil
