Again...
From September of 2001 To May of 2011
Even in Tokyo, Japanese newspaper companies issued extra edition informing citizens of the death of Mr. Osama bin Laden, distributing free copies on the street.
Accordingly, Japanese police stepped up a security level around the US Embassy in Tokyo and airports.
But, what should people be afraid of more?
SECTION I: Mr. Osama Bin Laden Taken On
So, when the world recalled memory of Princess Diana, a showdown came with Mr. Osama bin Laden.
In 40 minutes of the last stage of US military's targeted action around Islamabad or specifically at a big compound 55 km from the Capital of Pakistan, the top leader of AlQaeda was reportedly taken on through exchange of fire.
SECTION II: President Obama's Speech
It was a big surprise that President Mr. Barack Obama could take on Mr. Osama bin Laden just in two years in his presidency while Former President Mr. George W. Bush could not in his seven years.
May 1, 2011.President Obama's address to the nation:
...
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.
Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.
And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.

It must have been like commanding a war for President Mr. Obama. But, I am not 100% at Mr. Obama's back, since any war could be avoided so as to achieve its ultimate goal in other peaceful ways.
SECTION III: Abbottbad
The place Mr. Osama bin Laden was hiding was hard hit by a great earthquake in 2005 that claimed more than 73,000 lives across northern Pakistan.

Abbottabad: Pakistan town where Osama bin Laden was killed
By Mike McPhate
...
The city, founded by British military officer James Abbott in 1853 as a military cantonment and summer retreat, is the headquarters of a brigade of the Pakistan Army's 2nd Division and home to many retired military officials.
...
Abbottabad's mild temperatures and picturesque views of the surrounding Sarban hills made it a popular destination for Pakistani tourists looking for relief during the brutally hot summer months.
The people of Abbottabad are an ethnically diverse group, most of whom speak the Indo-Aryan language Hindko and are known collectively as the Hindkowans. At one time they practiced Hinduism but most are now Sunni Muslims.
Bin Laden managed to go undetected in Abbottabad by hiding in "an extraordinarily unique compound," that with 12- to 18-foot security walls, the Post's Philip Rucker, Anne E. Kornblut and Ernesto Londono report. It wasn't clear how long the al-Qaeda leader had been holed up there, but officials said they had been eyeing the compound "for months" after receiving a tip in August 2010.
The last time the mountainous resort town's name appeared widely in American news reports was in 2005 when the city was hit hard by the Kashmir earthquake that killed more than 73,000 people across northern Pakistan.

No poor foreign criminals seem to be able to enjoy a high-level of security in Abbottbad.
Yet, it is well known that Pakistan is the country to which Saudi Arabia has invested big money for religious association and linkage, while Mr. Osama bin Laden was a son of a super-rich family of Saudi Arabia, a kind of military ally with the U.S. and the U.K.
Fugitive Osama bin Laden's hunters came out of the night
INSIDE STORY Amanda Hodge, South Asia correspondent From: The Australian May 03, 2011 12:00AM
THE thump of helicopters sweeping metres from their rooftops at 12.30am yesterday was the first inkling Osama bin Laden's neighbours had that they were living in the shadow of the world's most-wanted terrorist.
...
For a half-hour, the helicopters hovered low over the houses, drawing people from their beds and into the streets before a huge explosion and the sound of gunfire sent them running for cover.
Elite Navy Seals spilled from the choppers and a fierce gunfight broke out.
Neighbours reported seeing one of the helicopters crash after it was hit by fire from inside the massive, walled compound where the al-Qa'ida commander-in-chief, his wives and at least one son had been hiding in plain sight.
...
By 1.30am (6.30am AEST) it was all over. Bin Laden, the man who triggered the war in Afghanistan by masterminding the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, and had evaded capture ever since, was dead. So too were at least one son and five aides.
Two women, believed to be his wives, and at least five others from inside the house were arrested and whisked away by helicopter.
...
The special operations forces were on the ground for less than 40 minutes and the operation was watched in real time by CIA director Leon Panetta and other intelligence officials in a conference room at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, an official said on condition of anonymity.
...
Within hours of the operation, President Barack Obama had announced, in an address broadcast across the world, that the head of al-Qa'ida had been killed.
"Justice has been done," Mr Obama said.

US military ends Pakistan flood relief
posted 5 mnths ago
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.S. military has ended its relief mission helping victims of this summer's floods in Pakistan.
American choppers flew in from Afghanistan once the scale of the disaster became apparent in early August.
They have flown hundreds of missions in the northwest and in Punjab, dropping off food and relief supplies and rescuing stranded people.
Pakistani and American officials Thursday staged a ceremony at an aviation base to mark the end of the mission.
At their peak, the floods affected 20 million people across the country.
The American mission was an opportunity for Washington to show that it cared for ordinary Pakistanis.
U.S. officials have expressed hope it may have reduced — if only a little — widespread anti-U.S. sentiment in the militancy-wracked country.

Millions of flood-hit Pakistanis struggle for food
posted 4 mnths ago
Islamabad, Jan 27 (IANS) Millions of Pakistanis hit by last year's devastating floods are 'still facing flood water, shivering in temporary shelters and struggling to find food', said a report of an international NGO.
The Oxfam report, 'Six months into the floods', said that though the aid effort had reached millions, it struggled to meet the huge scale of human need.
'Six months on, millions of people are still facing flood water, shivering in temporary shelters and struggling to find food,' Dawn quoted the Oxfam report as saying.
The INGO was currently helping nearly 1.9 million people, said Neva Khan, the head of Oxfam in Pakistan.
Nearly 20 million people had been affected by the floods that caused destruction running into billions of rupees.

Now, we know what has been going on in Pakistan since last August.
SECTION V: Nuclear-Armed Pakistan
(To be continued...)
*** *** *** ***
The issue of AlQaeda and Islamic terror are not an exclusive matter for the U.S. and the U.K.
They are more related to one billion Muslims in the world.
Now, from Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Bahrain to Yemen, the Islamic society is undergoing a great change, trying to tackle real enemy but not the Anglo-Saxon empire.
Anglo-Saxon Christianity should not be regarded as an enemy of poor Muslims. Rich and elite Muslims are more problems for poor Muslims. And, Mr. Osama bin Laden was from a very rich family of Saudi Arabia.
Anyway, it is very symbolic that when the world recalled memory of Princess Diana, a showdown finally came to Mr. Osama bin Laden who started his war against the European Civilization in real in 1998.
Now, we may come back to the 1997 car accident in Paris.
Heb 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Heb 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
