The killing of the Al-Qaeda leader, which is a Radical Islamic Terrorist Group founded in the 1980's by Osama Bin Laden, was a huge justice to the U.S. and other countries. Bin Laden posed a global threat to the countries where Islam is not implemented, he was responsible for the September, 11th attacks back in 2001. He orchestrated it, and had it planned for months, he was planning more attacks on the U.S. after 9/11 as well. (Resource Seven)
The terrorist group Al-Qaeda knew they couldn’t beat the U.S. in a straight up battle war, so they tried to destroy us through economic failure and imposing fear into American lives.

Over a decade later the CIA had finally located him in Abbottabad Pakistan, 35 miles north of their capitol. There hadn't been a trace of Bin Laden for more than eight years since a failed plan in Tora Bora at a mountain post. Finally over a decade after 9/11, They found him through a man called Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, which was a false name, he was a Pakistani, and known to U.S. intelligence as the main courier for Osama Bin Laden, which the U.S. had also been searching for this man as well for four years.

It appears that "Khallad" was likely Khalid al-Mihdhar, who would became one of the 9/11 hijackers. He had left Bangkok in January 2000 and flew to Los Angeles. The memos show the growing sense of unease in the CIA about Al Qaeda's plans to attack American interests. By June 2001 a top secret memo notes that an Arabic TV news channel had reported Bin Laden had gone into hiding and said, "Multiple reports indicate that extremists expect Bin Laden to launch attacks over the coming days, possibly against Israeli or US interests." But there is little sense that the attack would be inside the United States. How foolish to not take this into consideration, because that’s exactly what happened, a few months later a couple thousand Americans would die because of the disregard it was
