Justice is done
ABBOTTABAD: US President Barack Obama in a televised address gave the world the news of the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, saying, “Justice has been done.” The declaration by Obama sparked raucous jubilation across the United States.
“I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Bin Laden,” said the US president, adding, “After a firefight, Bin Laden was killed and his body was taken into custody.”
“Over the years, I’ve, repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we’ve done. But it’s important to note that our counter-terrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to Bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, Bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people,” said Obama. “This is a good and historic day for both of our nations (US and Pakistan). And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates,” added the US president. agencies
