Life Of Osama Bin Laden

Decent Essays
On May 1, 2011, Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader, was killed by the American soldiers. His life ended at his compound near Islamabad, Pakistan. Intelligence officials believe he was responsible for many deadly acts of terrorism. The bombings of the U.S. in 1998, Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in September 11, 2001 . Bin Laden has been on the FBI’s “most wanted” list for more than a decade. I am glad that his life came to an end, because he has been hiding for about a decade, and finally he has got what was coming to him. This affected me, because, like I previously said, he has been attacking many places and he could've easily attacked where I live
