A sense of pride and comfort came to Americans heart yesterday as they herd the President of United States make a speech on the killing of Osama bin Laden. The man who claims to be responsible for September 11 attack which killed nearly 3,000 people. A day a victory and a day that will take us to an new chapter of the book. However, the killing of Osama bin Laden raises questions that are not answered, yet.
It all started as one of the "Central Intelligence Agency drove up behind a white Suzukinavigating the bustling streets near Peshawar, Pakistan, and wrote down the car’s license plate." Say's Mark Mazzetti at The New York Times. "The man in the car was Bin Laden’s most trusted courier, and over the next month C.I.A. operatives would track him throughout central Pakistan."
However, the area in where Osama bin Laden was located questions the Pakistan authority, since that's where he was found. BBC News write on how the silence of Pakistan security create a bit of a surprise: "The silence from Pakistan's security service is perhaps the most surprising aspect so far, says our correspondent." They were kept in the dark while this operation was made so there is some explanation to be done from both sides. Why where they kept in the dark, and how come Osama bin Laden was found specifically in this area just now, not earlier?
The guarantee from US officials come with almost in one hundred percent that it was him, the Osama bin Laden and not some one else. "US officials say they are "99.9%" sure that the man they shot and killed in a raid on a secure compound in Abbottabad and later buried at sea was Bin Laden." Solders took pictures of him after he was shot and they took the pictures of him when they buried him by the sea. But the question arises, why bury him that fast? Since he is the person who the almost the whole world was looking for, might as well bring him in and put it through investigation.
So what, some one might say, what is it to a Christian? I like how Joshua Harris responded to this question. He says this, "For me, these momentous events are also a reminder to pray. For the families of victims of 9/11--bin Laden's death can't erase the grief of their loss. For our President and other government leaders who are making significant decisions daily. For members of our military who are putting themselves in harms way. For our nation which still faces the threat of terrorist attack. For the spread of the gospel in nations like Pakistan and Afghanistan. The greatest need of this world can't be met with military force or political reform but only in salvation through Jesus Christ."
