A year ago on May 1st 2011, Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S.A troops during a coordinated raid on his stronghold in Pakistan. The operation started on April 29th 2011 when President Obama ordered the attack and ended in a 38 minute excuted raid. Osama's death broke the back of Al Qaeda and brought an end to the historic 9/11 event. The spirits of those who died in the terrorist attack on the world trade center had finally had their justice in the killing of Bin Laden. Though his death did not end Al Qaeda, it merely weakend it. The terrostic group still remains a threat to the United States and the President will continue to persue them until they have been delivered to justice so that another 'Bin Laden' does not come around to bring the group into power again. The United States faces many hard ships today but its good to see one achievement that will be remembered in history for years to come.
Though it is sad that it needed to come to violence to end this, its better that he was killed and not imprisoned, that would have only strengthened the resolve of Al Qaeda. Breaking their back was the best way to deal with the situation. With luck, soon Osama Bin Laden will be a faint memory of the past.
