    Real Story behind Osama Bin Laden Death

    • USA need a closure of 9/11 and is in her best interest economically to finally close this issue which was may or may not created by USA in start but ending the war due to financial problem, is and would have lots of unforsean down falls i.e Superpower image and political disaster. Although USA superpower image is already shattered but USA is not yet ready to hand over the role to China, atleast willingly. Osama death was a perfect solution to save the face for some time as after the death USA will insist that Nato is not leaving the Afghanistan but the international community will request, Nato will recommend, USA voters will pressure to leave Afghanistan and UN security council may come to rescue as well. Under the above scenario USA as responsible power will withdraw the forces, win for USA and peace for the world.

    • Pakistan need a stability economically & politically if the big international war is in progress next door to Pakistan, both of her objective look not more than a dream. This is a fact Pakistan was dragged into the Afghanistan war unwillingly and want to come out quickly as possible. OBL death drama is a window of opportunity to come out of this nightmare therefore Pakistan has decided to stage this death drama with help of USA and also committed to provide full support and forged all eveidences to convince the world about authenticity of OBL death. One can ask questions why Pakistan is helping USA? Why this is staged in Pakistan? Why Pakistan is taking this big risk of own public backlash? First Pakistan is helping USA as this drama can bring an end to the war which will bring to end to terrorisim which is unleashed by CIA to blackmail the Pakistan. Second if the drama was staged in Afghanistan or any other country, USA army and CIA would have lots of credibility issue and internal backlash which USA Govt, Army and CIA can not afford especially in re-election years. Under the script Pakistan Army and ISI is faking to take the fall as one of only powerful institute in Pakistan can afford it and they have proved it in Raymond Davis case. Answer to the third question is simple, Pakistan is not a true damoratic country with pupit and corrupt civilian Government where powerful army can control anyone and anything what so ever in exchange USA and CIA will rescue the Pakistan from international alienation with immediate cashflow. Mark our word Pakistan army will never say a word on this stage drama however in a strange way USA will convince the world about innocence of Pakistan army, restrain the India, EU and any other about taking against Pakistan and Pakistan Army.

    • Middleeast situation is also a factor, regime change in Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Iran or any other close neighbour to Israel except Egypt is a part of USA agenda but the unrest in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain or Kuwait is not on the table. OBL death is an effort to take the sting out of Arab revolution.

    • Obama re-election to white house is also a reason as for as the timing and procedure the way OBL death drama was staged to portray Obama an American hero.
      There are other theories on OBL death we think the reader need to read them as well so every one can come to their own conclusion.
    The death of Osama bin Laden gave rise to various conspiracy theories, hoaxes, and rumors. These included the notions that bin Laden had been dead for years, or was still alive. Doubts about bin Laden's death were fueled by the U.S. military's disposal of his body at sea, the decision to not release photographic evidence of bin Laden's death, the official story on the raid at the Abbottabad compound have changed or directly contradicts previous assertions, and the 25-minute blackout during the raid on bin Laden's compound during which a live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the U.S. special forces was cut off.
    On May 2, 2011, an image showing a dead bin Laden broadcast on Pakistani television and picked up on front pages of the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun, and the Mirror website, as well the Associated Press though swiftly removed after the fake was exposed on Twitter.
    On May 4, 2011, the Obama administration announced it would not release any images of bin Laden's dead body. The administration had considered releasing the photos to dispel rumors of a hoax, at the risks of perhaps prompting another attack by al Qaeda and of releasing very graphic images to people who might find them disturbing. Several photos of the aftermath of the raid were given to Reuters by an anonymous Pakistani security official, but though all appeared to be authentic, they were taken after the U.S. forces had left and none of them included evidence regarding bin Laden's fate. The Associated Press and Judicial Watch filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for the photos and videos as of May 3, 2011. Politico, Fox News, Citizens United, and NPR have also drafted FOIA requests. Legally, the government has 20 business days to respond to such requests.   Criticism of burial at seaDoubts about bin Laden's death were fueled by the U.S. military's disposal of his body at sea, though U.S. officials maintained that the burial was necessary because arrangements could not be made with any country to bury bin Laden within 24 hours, as dictated by Muslim practice. However, the Muslim practice has not always been followed by the U.S. in the past. For example, the bodies of Uday Hussein and Qusay Hussein, sons of Saddam Hussein, were held for 11 days before being released for burial. In that instance, however, several Iraqi cities were reluctant to grant a gravesite for Saddam's sons.   The decision to bury bin Laden at sea was questioned by some Islamic scholars and by some 9/11 victims and their relatives. Professor Peter Romaniuk of John Jay College described the burial at sea as a way to forestall further questions. He stated: "Obviously they're going to be under pressure to show a body or produce further evidence, but this was a way of taking that issue off the table."   In Pakistan   Number of people in Abbottabad, Pakistan, residents said they believed the announcement of Osama's death was a U.S. conspiracy against Pakistan. A local lawyer said, "They're just making it up. Nobody has seen the body." Some residents doubted not only that bin Laden was dead, but also that he ever lived among them. Conspiracy theories abound in the Middle East, according to Lewis Brownstein, professor of international relations and political science at State University of New York.   Senior Pakistani officials disseminated the theory that no firefight ever took place, and that U.S. forces captured bin Laden alive, executed him outside the compound in front of his 12-year-old daughter, and took his body away on a helicopter.   In a interview with CNN's Eliot Spitzer, Hamid Gul former head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) stated that he believed bin Laden had died many years ago and that the official death story given out by the American media was a hoax. Furthermore, he thinks the American government knew about bin Laden's death for years, "They must have known that he had died some years ago so they were waiting. They were keeping this story on the ice and they were looking for an appropriate moment and it couldn't be a better moment because President Obama had to fight off his first salvo in his next year's election as he runs for the presidential and for the White House and I think it is a very appropriate time to come out, bring this out of the closet." Yet another scenario was reported in an article in the Urdu newspaper Ausaf, which quoted military sources as saying, "Bin Laden has been killed somewhere else. But since the US intends to extend the Afghan war into Pakistan, and accuse Pakistan, and obtain a permit for its military's entry into the country, it has devised the [assassination] scenario." Bashir Qureshi, who lives just a bean field away from where bin Laden was shot and whose windows were blown out in the raid, was dismissive. "Nobody believes it. We've never seen any Arabs around here, he was not here."   In 2007, former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto said during an interview with David Frost on Al Jazeera that she believed bin Laden was "murdered" years ago by Omar Sheikh.   In Iran   Number of Iranians said they believed that bin Laden was actually working with the U.S. during the entire war on terror. Ismail Kosari, an Iranian MP, said that bin Laden: was just a puppet controlled by the Zionist regime in order to present a violent image of Islam after the September 11 attacks. Bin Laden's death reflects the passing of a temporary US pawn, and symbolizes the end of one era and the beginning of another in American policy in the region.   Another MP, Javad Jahangirzadeh, said he believed that it was the U.S. that had carried out the terrorist attacks, and bin Laden was the main source of help. He stated, "The West has been very pleased with bin Laden's operations in recent years. Now the West was forced to kill him in order to prevent a possible leak of information he had, information more precious than gold." Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi claims that bin Laden died from an illness before the US raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Iran has documents to prove it, "we have credible information that Bin Laden died some time ago of a disease."
