10 Reasons Why Osama Bin Laden got killed?

Because:
- Manmohan Singh is not President of US.

- Barack Obama doesn't take permissions from Sonia Gandhi.

- He was not hiding in India. Our system is unable to find a missing Chief Minister in own country, can you expect them to find Osama.

- CBI was not incharge of investigation and operation. They are busy in saving Kuttarochi, Anderson, Jagadish Tytler, Kalmadi, Kanimozhi, Raja etc.

- Amar Singh didn't leak the tape of Obama's phone though he could fake one.

- In Pakistan, he was not in minority community (like in India), so no human right activist and secular journalist came to save him.

- He didn't meet Ekta Kapoor. She could have given him tip to be alive again.

- He didn't request Rajnikant to save him.

- He didn't surrender himself to Indian government. This government is not able to give death sentence to already arrested and convicted by the Supreme Court- Ajmal Kasab (eventually he would be by the SC) and Afzal Guru - after years. Had he surrendered to India, Osama could have spent a life here as our guest with our Tax payers money and by years to come he would be freed by the perplexed Judiciary who are under tremendous pressure from Right activitis, NHRC, NMC, Media and other champions of society.

-The Home Ministry would drop all cases against Osama after direction from Soniaji & Rahulji and instead our Digvijays, Teestas, Mahesh Bhat, Antulays, Judiciary, Media would put the entire blame on Narendra Modi, Gujarat & RSS for all the mess.
After being freed from Jail Osama is given a grand rousing welcome by our political leaders from various politicial parties comprising from Congress, SP, BSP, RJD, LJP, etc begging him to contest Assembly/ Lok Sabha elections

- Last but not the least. He trusted Pakistan, instead of INDIA.

For only $315, you, too, can kill Osama bin Laden

Disneyland ride/attraction next ?
=======


Wish you could have been a part of the SEAL Team 6 raid that killed Osama bin Laden? Now's your chance. Former SEAL Larry Yatch has reconstructed the Abbottabad complex in a 10,000-square-foot studio in New Hope, Minnesota and for $315 a pop you can unload your M16-style paintball gun on a guy dressed like OBL. It's not quite Abottabad, but it should still get your chest thumping.

So far, participants seem pleased with the experience. "This is so cool! My adrenaline is, like, so spiked right now!" reported one role player who spoke to KSTP, the local ESPN affiliate.


The experience is also available as part of a romantic couples package, so fear not if it's date night and you're jonesing for a targeted killing fix.

Obama canceled three missions to kill Osama bin Laden before Hillary Clinton convinced him to go ahead - NYPOST.com
Hillary Rodham Clinton talked a reluctant President Obama into killing Osama bin Laden — after the president canceled plans for the mission three times, an explosive new book claims.

Obama feared that the daring Navy SEALs operation to raid bin Laden's hidden Pakistani compound "might go tragically wrong" and he would be blamed for it, author Rich Miniter says.

His account challenges a key element of Obama's re-election campaign — that his decision to kill the world's No. 1 terrorist symbolizes his resolute leadership.

The book — "Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him" — describes Obama as being heavily influenced by three women — Clinton; his wife, Michelle; and longtime adviser and confidante Valerie Jarrett.

After nearly half a century of explosions, folks in Perquimans County have become blasé about the sharp cracks and house-shaking rumbles that roll out of the secretive, government-owned peninsula in Albemarle Sound.

They scarcely bat an eye when a truckload of blackened, bomb-shredded cars rolls out, or a Boeing 727 passenger jet, minus wings and tail, rolls in on the back of a giant trailer.

Last week, though, news broke that a full-sized replica of the house and compound where Osama bin Laden had been killed had been built on the peninsula. That was different. Even longtime residents flocked to the Internet, clicking on a website where satellite images had been posted to finally get their first real look at Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity.

Pakistan court reinstates 17 workers who allegedly participated in CIA plot to trace bin Laden

Pakistan court reinstates 17 workers who allegedly participated in CIA plot to trace bin Laden - The Washington Post

ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan — A Pakistani court reinstated in their jobs on Thursday 17 health workers who were fired last year for allegedly participating in a CIA scheme to confirm the presence of Osama bin Laden in a town in northwest Pakistan, a defense lawyer said.

Lawyer Javed Awan said the court order affected 16 female health workers and one male whom a government health department suspended last year for failing to inform authorities about Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi's fake vaccination campaign. The health workers insist they did not know Afridi was working for the CIA.

The campaign aimed to collect blood samples from bin Laden's family to show that the al-Qaida leader was in the northern town of Abbottabad, where he was later killed in a U.S. raid in May 2011. Pakistan strongly protested the raid, considering it a violation of the country's sovereignty.

Afridi was sentenced to more than three decades in prison for ties to militants. But it is widely believed that he was punished for his role in the raid. Afridi's lawyer and his family have said he is innocent as he did nothing against the interests of Pakistan.

Awan said the 17 had been directed by senior health officials to participate in the vaccination campaign, which ran in the town from February 15 to May 15, 2010, and that they were innocent of wrongdoing. "The court has done justice to them," he said.

"I am happy that I got my job back," said Amraiza Bibi, one of the 17 who was present in the court during the ruling.

To Hunt Osama Bin Laden, Satellites Watched Over Abbottabad, Pakistan, and Navy SEALs
By Craig Whitlock and Barton Gellman, Friday, August 30, 2013
Washington POst


RAHIMULLAH YOUSAFZAI/AP - Classified documents published Thursday by The Washington Post reveal new details about the U.S. operation that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.

The U.S. commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden was guided from space by a fleet of satellites, which aimed dozens of receivers over Pakistan to collect a torrent of electronic and signals intelligence as the mission unfolded, according to a top-secret U.S. intelligence document.

The National Security Agency also was able to penetrate guarded communications among al-Qaeda operatives by tracking calls from mobile phones identified by specific calling patterns, the document shows. Analysts from the CIA pinpointed the geographic location of one of the phones and linked it to the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where other evidence suggested bin Laden was hiding.

The disclosures about the hunt for the elusive founder of al-Qaeda are contained in classified documents that detail the fiscal 2013 "black budget" for U.S. intelligence agencies, including the NSA and the CIA. The documents, provided to The Washington Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, make only brief references to the bin Laden operation. But the mission is portrayed as a singular example of counterterrorism cooperation among the U.S. government's numerous intelligence agencies.

Eight hours after the raid, according to the documents, a forensic intelligence laboratory run by the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan had analyzed DNA from bin Laden's corpse and "provided a conclusive match" confirming his identity. The budget further reveals that satellites operated by the National Reconnaissance Office performed more than 387 "collects" of high-resolution and infrared images of the Abbottabad compound in the month before the raid — intelligence that was "critical to prepare for the mission and contributed to the decision to approve execution."

Also playing a role in the search for bin Laden was an arm of the NSA known as the Tailored Access Operations group. Among other functions, the group specializes in surreptitiously installing spyware and tracking devices on targeted computers and mobile-phone networks.

Although the budget does not provide detail, it reports that Tailored Access Operations "implants" enabled the NSA to collect intelligence from mobile phones that were used by al-Qaeda operatives and other "persons of interest" in the hunt for bin Laden.

Separately, Tailored Access Operations capabilities were used in April 2011, the month before bin Laden was killed, when U.S. forces in Afghanistan relied on signals intelligence from implants to capture 40 low- and mid-level Taliban fighters and other insurgents in that country, according to the documents.

The new details about the raid fill out an already rich public account of how the U.S. government employed virtually every tool in its enormous surveillance apparatus to locate bin Laden. For more than a decade, bin Laden had stymied all efforts to find him by making certain he did not leave a direct electronic trail. He steadfastly avoided phones and e-mail, relying on face-to-face communications with a few couriers and middlemen.

In addition to the satellites, the government flew an advanced stealth drone, the RQ-170, over Pakistan to eavesdrop on electronic transmissions. The CIA also recruited a Pakistani doctor and other public health workers to try to obtain blood samples from people living in the Abbottabad compound as part of a vaccination program to determine whether the residents might be related to bin Laden.

That doctor was convicted by a Pakistani court in May 2012 of "conspiring against the state." A senior judicial official on Thursday overturned the 33-year prison sentence for Shakil Afridi on technical grounds and ordered a retrial.

For all their technological prowess, U.S. spy agencies were unable to identify bin Laden with confidence inside the Abbottabad compound. By the time President Obama ordered a team of Navy SEALs to storm the site in May 2011, U.S. intelligence officials told the president that, according to their best guesses, the odds that bin Laden was present were 40 percent to 60 percent.

Even after bin Laden's death, the U.S. government kept up its relentless high-tech campaign to unlock his secrets.

Budget documents show that intelligence agencies scraped together $2.5 million in emergency money in September 2011 to sift through a backlog of computer files and other evidence recovered from bin Laden's hideout. The money went to buy 36 computer workstations and pay overtime to forensic examiners, linguists and "triage personnel" involved in the project.

Of course none of the Pakistani government agencies or instrumentalities knew about the U.S. raid to kill Osama bin Laden. It was the damned Pakistani government that was harbouring the bastard!
