The American special services during the operation in Pakistan, as a result of which Osama Ben Laden was eliminated , also killed his son. It is also reported that two more people died during the special operation, BBC British British Broadcasting Corporation reports on Monday.
Which of the sons are in question, has not yet been reported. On Monday, US President Barack Obama said that the leader of Al-Qaeda, Usama Ben Laden, was killed by the American military. In a television appeal to the nation, the president said that the operation was held in Pakistan, and now Ben Laden’s body is in the USA.
According to these data, the leader of Al-Qaeda was killed as a result of a shootout in a villa near the capital of Pakistan Islamabad. The operation was carried out by the American Marines. At the same time, as noted, the Armed Forces of Pakistan contributed to the US military.
However, the Pakistani Taliban called a "fake" message about the destruction of their leader.
Ben Laden was considered the main enemy of the United States after an attack on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001.
Recall that since 2001 (after the explosion of the buildings of the World Trade Center on September 11), the US intelligence services awarded us Ben Laden's status “terrorist number one”, arrested his bank accounts and promised to issue five million dollars as a reward for information that would help his arrest.
Shortly before the 2004 presidential, in the United States, in the next video message, Osama Ben Laden publicly confirmed the participation of Al-Qaeda in the organization of the 2001 terrorist attacks, and also said that he was directly related to this.
After the start of the US military operation in Afghanistan, Osama Ben Laden was hiding. The then US President George Bush said that Ben Laden would be caught "alive or dead."
According to Obama, the United States will do everything that will be required to prevent other terrorist attacks against civilians and take strict measures to protect them.
