After bin Laden was killed, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said.
Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said.
So the US decided to bury him at sea. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred. (Associated Press)
From Occupied Palestine:
We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
So after 10 years of searching and fighting, they've finally 'killed' him. Where exactly is the proof? They should have at least showed a glimpse of him dead - yet they insisted in burying him at sea as soon as possible! lol.. I don't believe it.
If you begin to live life relating to the God who is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.

bury him on land = locals will dig up the grave and find a doll
bury him at sea = nobody will bother
in fact you don't even have to bury him anywhere because he died years ago
Have you seen where he was living? That is kind of unbelievable. Pakistan is hardly the type of place where neighbours keep themselves to themselves!
Either way the US have shot themselves in the foot, who will they use to justify all their terrorism now?
I dont understand why he wasn't subjected to the same as Saddam.
I glad someone posted this. He should have been captured and put on trial if possible.
Usama was wanted in connection with August 7th, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. He was still a suspect.
I'm more concerned about that there was no attempts to capture him. What happened to the principle "innocent until proven guilty"? No trial.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Personally, I think being in Pakistan and Afghanistan is actually what the US forces wanted in the first place. So I don't see any reason for them to leave since they had already arrived at where they wanted to be in the first place. Just as I do not think the US forces are going to leave the Middle East any time soon or any time during this millennium.
Why? What possible benefit to the US is/was there in spending billions and losing thousands of lives to 'be' in either of those places? What economic benefit? What political benefit? What strategic benefit? None . They are not 'in' Pakistan, officially anyway and OBL and the Taliban themselves left them no (political) choice with regards to Afghanistan. After that, it's the Taliban themselves are responsible for them still being there; they've known OBL was in Pakistan rather than Afghanistan for years.

This operation did not involve drones, but special forces. It's purpose was to capture or kill OBL, not some sort of macho display of courage, carried out by total professionals whose courage is not questioned, even by their enemies.
In answer to your off-topic question, though.. probably about as much as it takes to brainwash a twelve year old into strapping on explosives and blowing himself up in a marketplace. Sadly the rest of the Taliban 'spring offensive' will be probably characterized by similar acts of 'courage' from their heroic leadership.
EDIT: It seems 'capture' was not part of the orders.

Snap! Best...answer...ever
As for the people saying OBL should go to heaven, it's like an indirect way of promoting violence. Islam is a religion of peace but other people using it to justify their acts of violence should go to heaven and Allah should be pleased with them? Come on! Am I the only one here to see this double speech?
All this chanting and victory dances of "USA! USA!" is ridiculous.
"Responsible for the murder of men, women and children"
That he was, but the number of victims at the feet of Usamah are just a minuscule drop in the ocean compared to the millions killed by the pigs in Washington, in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. No mention of this though?

I feel that there is something fishy in this whole story. Why bury him at sea? They are hiding something, it's one of two: either he is still alive somewhere. Or he died years ago and US want to look great to the world that it was their work.
I don’t feel anything for the Osama. I can’t believe I am reading people saying he did this for good cause just used wrong method! Well, if he did this? He deserves to go to hell forever even if he has repented. How does repenting for hideous crime help the family members who had their relatives killed in 9/11 that also includes Muslim!?! Whoever did 9/11 deserve to be in hell forever!! Saying that Allah (swt) knows whether he was involved or not.
Inna lillaahi wa inna ilaayhi raji’roon for all those killed in 9/11 and as a result of 9/11 (the war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq) and Palestine people who were killed by Israel forces.
I also want proof that he is dead. Innocent until proven guilty was thrown out the window. The sky news says the mission was to kill him not capture him!
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one.." [Bukhaari].

We are all hypocrites about something or other. It's hardly true to say there has been no mention of the Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Of course, more Iraqis have been killed by Iraqis than Americans and more Afghans killed by Afghans than Americans and that doesn't get mentioned.. but, well, there's that hypocrisy again. Or maybe just convenient forgetfulness.
It's not moral behaviour IMHO to celebrate the death of anyone in that fashion. If anything, thoughts should go back to those killed on 9/11 and those who have died subsequently both trying to bring OBL to justice and innocents caught in the crossfire. However, I'm at least not a hypocrite in one respect; I will admit if I were a New Yorker I'd probably be joining them on the streets today.

I was also wondering this. Like come on, they couldn't find some space on Earth or what?
