He thinks that the helicopter was a Blackhawk UH-60, heavily modified to make it quieter and less visible to radar.

After having developed problems, the helicopter - a with up to four used in the raid on 2 may - a was destroyed.

The Navy Seals team did not want sensitive technologies falling into the enemy hands.

"The wreck of the helicopter destroyed in the operation of bin Laden was returned over the weekend and is now in the United States," said the spokesman for Pentagon Col Dave Lapan.

Pakistan returns Secret Bin Laden Raid Copter

 The wreck of the secret stealth helicopter which was abandoned by the US Navy SEALs during the mission to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan is back in the hands of U.S. Government, a Pentagon official said today.

The Pakistani Government, which took place the remains of what experts believed in a Blackhawk helicopter strongly changed since may raid, returned 2 "what is left of this" including a section of large tail to the authorities over the weekend Americansaid colonel Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman. The helicopter takes place in an unknown location.

The helicopter made a hard landing after it clipped a wall during the mission to kill the bin Ladens and was abandoned by the seals, but not before that special operations team attempted to destroy with explosives. In the days after the raid, and other pieces of debris - including a mysterious-like fabric cover that fun to play with the option - children of the found the tail section were photographed being transported from the scene of the accident by tractor.

In the days after the raid, American officials asked for the helicopters to return, but Pakistani officials said that they were interested in studying it, and suggest that the Chinese were interested as well. A Pakistani official told ABC News earlier this month, "we could leave them [Chinese]"look of eye.""

An official of the U.S. said then it did not know if the Pakistanis had offered a blow of eye to the Chinese, but said that it would be "shocked" If the Chinese had not already given access to the damaged aircraft. LAPAN did not say if there is evidence the Chinese had been allowed to see the pieces of the helicopter before it was returned to the United States.

Pakistani and Chinese Governments are known to have a close relationship. Last week, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani went to Beijing and has been warmly welcomed by the Chinese with a contract for the Chinese Government to provide Pakistan with 50 fighter aircraft.

The Ministry of defence has not commented officially on the nature of the aircraft and a senior Pentagon official told ABC News in the days after that raid, the Department "absolutely not" discuss.

Kerry heads for Pakistan soothe the fury on Ben Laden

ISLAMABAD  - Senator John Kerry will travel to Pakistan in the coming days to put relations "on track" after the killing of Osama bin Laden in a raid of the Navy SEALs of surprise, but it could do to the fury of the army on what it sees as an abuse of trust.

Kerry, a Democrat who is close to the administration of Obama, said he expected to see "all the major players" in Pakistan to discuss strains in bilateral ties after the operation on May 2 that killed the Chief of al-Qaeda in his Pakistani lair.

"A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue on the consequences and how we get on the right track," Kerry, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told journalists in Washington.

Co-author of a bill of 2009 which tripled non-military aid to Islamabad, Kerry is seen as a friend of the country, but he could face the wrath of the powerful security establishment has been hampered by the unilateral action of the U.S. on Pakistani soil.

Militant factions, including al-Qaeda of Osama bin Laden have vowed to avenge his murder and two grenades were thrown at the Consulate in Saudi Arabia in the Pakistani city of Karachi, although no one was injured, police said.

Al-Qaeda is violently opposed to the Saudi Government but Karachi police said that it is too early to say if the attack was linked to the death of the militant leader born in Arabia.

A Pakistani security official, said the U.S. operation to kill bin Laden had left the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency - which has a long history of contacts with activists - "discredited in the eyes of the public".

"We are very angry against this abuse of confidence," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Space to cooperate with the Americans on military operations and intelligence has decreased because of this incident".

Pakistani cooperation is crucial for the efforts of Washington fight against Islamic militants and bring stability in Afghanistan and the United States administration seems eager to contain the fallout.

"US WOULD NOT BE SO NAIVE.

Nevertheless, U.S. legislators wondered if Pakistan is seriously in the fight against militants in the region after bin Laden was found living in a house walk a few minutes from the main military Academy in the country. Some have called for a suspension of us aid to Islamabad.

Pakistan rejects the allegations that he was incompetent to find the man behind the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States or accomplice to hide him in the city of Abbottabad only 50 km (30 miles) from Islamabad.

"We would not be enough naive be complicit in this matter.". "We could be risking not only the future of our country, but also the future of our children," the official said, adding that if there is a network of support protecting the bin Ladens it do not come within the institution of the Pakistan security.

Kerry travelled to Pakistan before trying to pack the crises. It was there in February to try to win the release of Raymond Davis, a contractor for the CIA and former member of special forces U.S. who shot two Pakistani city of Lahore.

Davis, who said that he acted in self-defence, was released in March after the "blood money" - compensation to the families of those killed — was paid, said American and Pakistani officials.

REMAINS OF HELICOPTER "STEALTH".

The United States is in the hope of questioning the three wives of bin Laden who were left in the Abbottabad composed after raid U.S. and are now detained, while Pakistani officials downplay the possibility of quick access.

U.S. investigators, who have been searching a huge planque of material seized during the operation, believe that the wives could help Osama bin Laden trace movements and its network.

ABC News quoted Pakistani officials saying they were interested in studying the remains of a U.S. helicopter that crashed during the raid of the Navy seals, which experts believe a version of the Blackhawk has been modified with stealth features.

An official told the network that was interested in China, an ally of Pakistan, examining the remains of the helicopter and another said "We might let them take a look".

But Pakistani military officials dismissed the report saying: no there was no intention to give China the wreck nor China had requested to see.

"Someone is designed to spread the alarm," said an official.

"There are so many other things to be sorted, it is not a priority," he said, when asked if the helicopter was a problem in the negotiations with the United States.

In Pakistan, said dead Osama bin Laden is an important step in the fight against militancy, but he is angry that he was not informed on this subject and that American forces have violated its sovereignty when they performed in a helicopter of the Afghanistan.

Current and former American speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the United States repeatedly told Pakistan that Washington would send the American forces in this country if it had evidence that bin Laden was hiding there.

Why the Taliban won't miss Ben Laden

As the Sun rose, the men of the RAID party chanted verses of the that RAN, spread their headscarves checkered pattern on the dirt and prayed for rapid adoption of Osama bin Laden in paradise. It is a ritual that they had made a hundred times for their fallen comrades. But there is no grief explosions or promises of revenge. Bin Laden was a good Muslim, said Taliban small, filamentous, leading the ritual. Bin Laden had assigned a life of luxury for one of the difficulties, and was worthy of his "death on the battlefield." In addition, with regard to the Taliban, "his death had no impact, said the judge, who goes by the name of war"khanjari"(and whose identity was confirmed by a member of the security service of the Afghanistan)."

"All the members of my group are also brave like Osama," continued the Khanjari. "The only difference is that he had more money..." My friends more to say than he. One of us would take a bullet each other. "For the Taliban, Osama bin Laden has been much less important that some members of the West can hope. (See the photos of the battle against the Taliban).

As a combat season should be the bloodiest in a decade gets underway in Afghanistan, a widespread Western commentary is to assign the escalation to a desire to avenge Osama bin Laden. Monday, Deputy Head of communication in Kabul, General Christine Whitecross, NATO has suggested that "al-Qaeda and Taliban will try to take his revenge by intensifying their attacks, but Afghan and directed international troops by NATO does not succeed." Last month, however, NATO has been claiming that al-Qaeda had less than 100 officers in Afghanistan, and they were mainly place in the northeast corner of the country. Today, however, linking the violence in al-Qaeda is a ploy to throw the long spur - should violence as having no connection with the root causes of the insurgency, said one Western diplomat. "People wonder what... we doing in Afghanistan, we've killed bin Laden, was not the whole point." This could be a way of thinking would us better quickly bind what remains of al-Qaeda to what happens in Afghanistan as a cover so that we can stay till 2014. "I wish that someone would call them on this subject because it is... bulls * t.".

President Hamid Karzai is also in on the game, stating that the synchronized attacks that brought the city of Kandahar at a standstill last weekend were the work of al-Qaeda, although it is made clear that he had been a Taliban long operation in the production. Blame al-Qaeda was a way to blame deflector of the Afghan Government and its security forces, who are still shaken by a mass jailbreak, which saw about 500 insurgents to escape. "It is really embarrassing," said the Western diplomat, comparing with the Tet offensive 1968, who delivered a decisive victory of propaganda for the Vietcong. "It shows [the Afghan Security Forces] it cannot handle, they cannot stop 60 people from getting in with heavy weapons, PKMs [guns], RPG [rocket].". It is really poor optically. "Especially if as the cornerstone of the NATO exit strategy is given control of the towns and villages of the Afghanistan to the ANSF, starting in July. (See the photos of the Lair of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan).

The dominant view among analysts and diplomats is that, at the highest level, the Taliban have allowed in fact almost certainly death of Osama bin Laden. Michael Semple, a veteran labor Afghanistan and one of the main promoters of a political with the Taliban settlement, said many of the leaders of the movement bitterly resentful Ben Laden for charming Mullah Mohammad Omar in him giving a shrine, persuading the clerc inexperienced that the Americans had no stomach for a fight - and thereforelosing their grip on the Afghanistan when al-Qaeda has led an American invasion. "They say basically good riddance," said Semple. "They could not be seen to give him themselves and it is not certainly rely on them for his safety, but now they say...". "It is the road, we'll see what happens. "

This does not mean that the Taliban prepares to leave the fight, of course. Tuesday saw the police checkpoints storm about 200 insurgents in the mountainous province isolated from Nuristan - the second attack on a large scale in four days. In the East of the Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device claimed just the 167th casualty coalition of the year. Five people were killed and a dozen injured when a bomber rammed his motorcycle in the door of a building Monday in the Government. Militarily, the Taliban strategy is always a ride-out, a "Let's move to what we can until the U.S. get tired and go home," in terms of Semple. (See a photo of the bin Laden family album).

But the capacity of the United States to locate and strike bin Laden will also be anxious activists. "You want to get my details?". I will end up as Osama bin Laden, "laughter Khanjari on application in time for his real name." Can also are wary of Pakistan, who offers them shelter, but was pleased to liquidate the Talib leadership in the past. With Pakistan under enormous pressure from Washington, activists fear that may happen again. "Mullah Baradar lived in the Madrasah even in Karachi 10 years," said Khanjari, referring to former Taliban No. 2, who was arrested by the early 2010 Pakistan's spy agency. "When Pakistanis feel a threat, they give you some senior Taliban."

Still, Semple believes that because bin Laden is more a stone of stumbling, the United States should negotiate directly with the leaders of the Taliban in Pakistan. "Grasp the nettle", said. "After years of pushing Pakistan to tolerate or conducting security raids, it is time to push the Pakistani for something that they have been recommending - political commitment." Find a mutually acceptable settlement will be difficult, but only provided Abbotabad raid a new starting point.

Pakistan can leave U.S. Ben question Laden wives

ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON - Pakistan can leave U.S. investigators in question the wives of Osama bin Laden, an official of the U.S. said, a decision that could start to stabilize relations between the piquant allies who have been severely strained by the assassination of the leader of al-Qaeda.

However, senior Pakistani officials in Islamabad said on Tuesday, no decision had been taken on the application of the United States.

Ben Laden was shot dead on May 2 in a Top-secret raid in Pakistani city north of Abbottabad, the embarrassment of Pakistan which has for years a most wanted man in the world on its soil denied.

The Government is under pressure to explain how the leader of al-Qaeda has been found in the city of Garrison, a short distance from the

Main military Academy and faces criticism at home on the perceived violation of sovereignty by the US commando team.

Pakistani cooperation is crucial to the fight against Islamic militants and restore stability in Afghanistan and the American administration has not hésitée to contain the fallout.

U.S. investigators, who have been searching a huge planque of material seized in the compound of high walls of Osama bin Laden, want to question his three wives as they seek to trace its movements and roll to its global network of activist.

"The Pakistani now appear willing to grant access." We hope that they lead you on the signals they send, "a familiar official U.S. with the case said in Washington."

No there was no immediate comment from the White House.

A Pakistani Government official denied that the questioned U.S. of women had been authorized, saying that investigators and had not yet completed their investigation.

"It is too soon and think about it," said the official, referring to the request of the United States to question women.

In Pakistan, said the three women, one of the Yemen and two of Saudi Arabia and their children, will be repatriated and Pakistan made contacts with their country, but they did not yet say that they would take them, said the official.

Discovery of Osama bin Laden has deepened suspicion ubiquitous Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of Pakistan, which has a long history of contact with the militants, had links with the al-Qaeda leader, or some of its agents has done.

U.S. lawmakers have asked hard questions, with some claiming a cut in billions of U.S. dollars helps the Muslim countries of nuclear weapons.

But in the United States continued to accuse Pakistan of providing shelter to bin Laden.

"We believe that it is very important to maintain a relationship of cooperation with Pakistan, precisely because it is in our interest of national security to do so", White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday.

Secretary General of NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Western Governments had no alternative to cooperate with Pakistan in the fight against Islamic militants.

"If we are to ensure long term peace and stability in Afghanistan and beyond, then we need a positive engagement with Pakistan, Rasmussen told the World Affairs Council in Atlanta Monday."

In a reminder of the struggle of Pakistan against al-Qaeda-linked militants, a bomb outside a court in the Northwest of Nowshera City killed a police woman.

"ABSURD".

Pakistan-US relations were already at a low after a string of diplomatic disputes of issues, including a large attack by a U.S. in March and the contractor Raymond Davis CIA drone aircraft, who fired two Pakistan in January.

Potentially more restless tension, a Pakistani television channel and a newspaper published what they said was the name of the Chief of station in Islamabad CIA infiltration.

The US authorities, said the name disclosed in the Pakistani media was wrong and the station chief would remain in his position.

They said that they believe that the leak was an attempt calculated to divert the attention of U.S. asked explanations on how bin Laden could be hidden for years in Pakistan.

Last year, after the head of the Pakistani ISI has been named in a civil case U.S. attacks on the Indian city of Mumbai, it then at the head of the CIA Islamabad station was named by media Pakistani and forced to leave the country.

Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, in his first major speech since the assassination of bin Laden, rejected suggestions of incompetence or even complicity in concealing the leader of al-Qaeda.

"Allegations of complicity or incompetence are absurd," Gilani told Parliament Monday, saying it was disingenuous for anyone to accuse Pakistan of "being in cahoots" with al-Qaeda.

The US President Barack Obama, said Sunday that bin Laden probably had "a kind" of a network of support within Pakistan, but added that investigations by Pakistan and the United States is required to discover the nature of this support.

Main Pakistan opposition party called Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari to resign on the violation of sovereignty by the US special forces who slipped in Afghanistan on helicopters to attack the compound of bin Laden.

Osama bin Laden cache battlefield of video games

SAN FRANCISCO- Images of the Pakistani compound where Osama bin Laden made his final stand was transformed into a field of battle of video games.

A map of software named fy_abbottabad in reference to the city where an American military team killed the notorious Al-Qaeda leader in a raid on May 2 was available Monday as a parameter to play the game "Counter-strike." computer online

The map program described as a creation by "fletch" had been downloaded more than 6 400 times of gamebanana.com Web site late Monday.

The parameter is a virtual version of the compound where bin Laden was killed in the raid by the US Navy SEALs, but not step features interior of buildings. Players fight it out in the field of the enclosure.

Fletch dismissed critics online that the bin Ladens slaying was too soft to make light in a video game.

"What many people seem to understand it is that the only thing that this map has in common with Osama is location,"fletch."said in a blog at gamebanana.com"

"I do not see how people think that it is in bad taste, but honestly that if that is your opinion you can protest the entire game (and many others).

"Counter-strike" games created by game of people focus on the State of Washington Valve Software online as terrorists or members groups counter-terrorism with "maps" for missions such as assassinations or the rescue of the hostages.

Fletch said the map made available was a temporary creation and the "substantial update" is nearly complete.

"I find much better than this version (fy_)," wrote Fletch.

"The idea is that the T (terrorists) is returned to destroy the before sensitive information can be located and taken away."

US says wants access to bin Laden widows

 In the United States, means that access to three widows of Osama bin Laden and all equipment of intelligence his commandos left to the head of al-Qaida compound, a senior US official said in comments broadcast Sunday that could add a stone of stumbling fresh in ties already frayed with Pakistan.

Information for women, who remained in the House after the commandos killed bin Laden, could respond to questions about whether Pakistan was hiding al-Qaeda Chief, as many officials American speculators. It could also reveal details of the daily life of bin Laden, his actions since the invasion of the Afghanistan in 2001 and operation internal al-Qaida.

It is believed that women and several children also picked up the House, in the custody of the Pakistani army. A Pakistani military official refused to comment on Sunday to demand that U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon revealed on NBC "meet the press".

The CIA and Pakistan's spy agency, known by the acronym, ISI, have worked hard in the past on the fight against terrorism, but the unilateral U.S. raid - fact without advance knowledge of Pakistan - exposed the deep mistrust that has complicated if scars partnership vital for the two nations.

Even before May 1st, raid, ISI says it has cut off cooperation with the CIA to protest against the drone strike near the Afghan border, among other things. In the current environment, Pakistan could use the fact, he has something Washington wants - widows of Osama bin Laden - as a lever to reduce the pressure, he is placed under.

Bin Laden was found in a large house near a military Academy in the city of Abbottabad army, where he had lived for six years. Raised location of U.S. suspicions that he had support of some Pakistani authorities, possibly elements of the powerful army and intelligence services.

Donilon said Washington has seen no evidence that the Government of Pakistan had been collusion with bin Laden - the public line taken by the US authorities more since the raid, including President Barack Obama in comments posted Sunday.

"But they need to investigate which, Donilon said." "And they need us provide information, or by the way, leave the compound they have collected, including access to three wives of Osama bin Laden, they in... custody".

Donilon said Pakistani authorities also had gathered further evidence of the House that the United States wanted to "work with them on the evaluation. U.S. commandos managed to seize a distance of important and valuable intelligence that included videos, numbers of telephone and documents, and the body of bin Laden, before flying back to Afghanistan, according to the American authorities.

The Pakistani Government denied strongly he knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, but Western Governments have long regarded Islamabad with suspicion. Its armed forces have history - some say ongoing - links with Islamic militants, which serves as proxies in Afghanistan and India.

The allegations of Pakistani collusion pose a serious problem for the administration of Obama because few can see any alternative but to continue to engage with the country. Unstable and remains part of the nuclear weapon, an integral of the fight against al-Qaeda and the US hopes to begin to draw down troops in Afghanistan later this year.

Candid videos show a Rare enough sales bin Laden view

A shabby Office, fortune, he presented a global empire of terrorist. Most of the world wanted man watched news of himself as a tiny television perched on a rickety old crowded wire Office.

For years, the world saw 54 years Osama bin Laden in the videos of propaganda rare that follow, those that describing him as a charismatic religious figure unfazed by being the target of a manhunt in the world.

On Saturday, the United States out a handful of videos, selected to show the bin Ladens in a much more frank, unflattering light. In short clips, bin Laden appears posture and tired, sat on the ground, watching television wrapped in a blanket of wool and bearing a knit Cap. Novel of its propaganda tapes show that they were highly scripted Affairs. He dyed and trimmed his beard for the cameras, then shot and killed and reshot his remarks until the timing and lighting have been fair.

The videos were among the items of evidence seized by the Navy SEALs after a raid before dawn Monday that killed the bin Ladens in fortified Pakistani pregnant her. The films, with hard drives, thumb and handwritten notes, readers reveal that bin Laden was still actively involved in the planning and the Direction of al-Qaeda plots against the United States, according to an intelligence U.S. high official who briefed reporters Saturday and insisted his name may not be used.

"Documents found in the compound only further confirm the importance of going after bin Laden," said CIA Director Leon Panetta, in a statement Saturday. "Since the attacks of September 11, this is what the American people have expected of us." In this critical operation, we delivered. ?

Notes and computer equipment has shown that composed of bin Laden is a command and control for al-Qaeda, where the terrorist brains remained in contact with al-Qaida affiliated worldwide through a network of smugglerssaid the intelligence official. Ben Laden was eager to strike again the cities us and discussed ways to attack trains, officials said, although it seems that this plan has never progressed beyond the first discussions.

Officials have said the clips shown to journalists were simply part of the largest collection of never collected senior terrorist materials. Any evidence seized during the raid also includes numbers of telephone and documents to help officials hope to break the back of the organization behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Videos showing "extended" - misunderstandings by bin Laden who were destined for the cutting room floor - were offered as proof of death of Osama bin Laden. President Barack Obama decided this week not to publish photos of body of bin Laden, which were considered too horrific to reveal. The United States said he confirmed the death of Osama bin Laden, with the help of DNA.

But, by selecting unflattering clips of bin Laden, the United States is also working to undermine the image, he has worked hard to craft.

"He showed that bin Laden was not the superhero, he wanted his people to think," said Rep. Peter King, R - n .INCLUDING., Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

A video shows clearly the leader of the terror, choosing and changing channels with a remote control, which he noted what appears to be a cable satellite box. US authorities have said there is a parabolic antenna for reception of TV, but no lines Internet or phone was going home. Cell phones have been banned on the compound.

Osama bin Laden video released

The Government of the United States released five candid videos carefully selected Saturday of compound of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan showing the head of al-Qaeda preparing a message for the United States and look on television.

Click here to view the videos of House of Ben Laden 5 came out.

Videos - with him difficult to get through a registration without error, or huddled in a blanket, his course grey dyed beard - present a rough image of bin Laden as the Chief of al-Qaeda would not out himself, knocking him to the bottom of the larger than life imagethat he tried to present, said terrorism expert.

"Is someone who realized that the image he transmitted was the main value that he had to his movement," former CIA analyst, said Paul pillar. "It was part of its mark."

"It was a man who was obsessed with its image and quite rightly," former acting CIA Director John McLaughlin said. "" "". In a way more powerful tool for al-Qaeda was its use of the video and its use of the Internet. ?

This video is among the trove of the evidence discovered after the U.S. raid on the compound Sunday, when the bin Ladens and four others were killed.

"It is the largest single collection of senior terrorist materials ever," said a senior intelligence official.

The cache contains digital, audio, video, personal correspondence and documents that "clearly demonstrate that bin Laden remains a leader active in al-Qaeda strategically, on tactical and operational" and not the figure in that it was supposed to be"to make the recent operation even more essential to the security of our nations"the official said.""

Materials reveal many hallmark al Qaeda plots, including plans for attacks on targets of infrastructure such as the water supply and transportation including rail and air, in what an official described as a "strategic guide for how to address the United States"

It is not how active bin Laden was in the coordination of all operations or global blessing strategies and plots. Official said bin Laden appears to have thought of himself as a head coach of al-Qaeda.

The first of five video shown Saturday was that Ben Laden unpublished message directed to the United States who believed was filmed between October 9 and November 5, 2010.

In the video, which begins with the preproduction of animation work, it seems dyed black beard, is wearing a shawl with gold on a white vestment, and bears a White Cap.

The second video, which runs more than one minute long, shows bin Laden himself watching television and the holding of the remote control to change channels between what appears to be of the Arab news channels.

The clip begins with a long shot of the screen, showing a list of satellite channels. The camera then fate and bin Laden is shown sitting with coverage on his shoulders and a wool Cap. His beard is white and grey.

At one time, bin Laden asked the cameraman to return to the TV screen, so it can focus on him holding a gun.

It is not known when and where this video was conducted and whether bin Laden was watching a live broadcast or a band.

Three other videos appear to be practice sessions, perhaps for the first video. In each of them seems to stumble in his speech, stop and start over.

Videos send a message to other al-Qaida that the United States now have a substantial information of the heart trove of the terror network.

The said press release "that we have lots of things that we have taken possession of Sunday and that makes the other villains, other people in the Organization fear, uncertain and do not know what we have," said the pillar.

The analysis of DNA shows clearly that it was Osama bin Laden, said the senior intelligence official. Based on DNA evidence, the chances of the person killed in the raid being does not bin Laden were 1 to 11.8 quadrillion, the official said.

Avenge Ben Laden: Spring Offensive Unleash Taliban in Afghanistan

Veterans Taliban conducted a series of overall coordinated attacks the embattled southern Afghan city of Kandahar Saturday - a campaign which President Afghan Hamid Karzai characterized as "revenge" for the death of Osama bin Laden. Insurgents attacked first the Palace of the provincial Governor with powered rocket grenades and weapons light and then launched a series of strikes throughout the city against the headquarters of the National Police Afghan (ANP) and the transport Police, on the Police substation and various other forces of Afghan national security (ANSF) and international security and Assistance Force (ISAF) building in both the city of Kandahar and in the Arghandab River Valley, the ISAF has reported. Between a dozen and two dozen people were injured in the fighting, reported Afghan media. All suicide bombers were killed.

"Al-Qaeda and its terrorist members who have suffered a major defeat with the assassination of Osama bin Laden on Pakistani territory have attempted to hide this defeat by killing civilians in Kandahar and take their revenge on the innocent people of the Afghanistan,"Karzai said in a release." The link between the attacks of Kandahar and the death of bin Laden has been strengthened by a view Declaration on many jihadist Web sites Saturday in which the Taliban said that "the Islamic Emirate [the Taliban for its own name] believes that the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin Laden will give new impetus to the current jihad against invaders" in this phase is critical of jihad. Tides of jihad will gain strength and width. The next time will be this time for friends and enemies. "The Declaration was signed by"branch"of al-Qaeda. But later, the Taliban spokesman insisted that the attacks had been in the works for months, reported press wire. (See the photos of the Lair of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan).

"Initial reports indicate that between three and six suicide bombers were arrested - or detonating prematurely or be killed before they could explode," said U.S. Marine Corps major-General James B. Laster, Chief Deputy to the Joint command ISAF joint operations, in a press release. ISAF reported that none of the attackers breached the walls of one of the compounds. The fighting started around 1 pm when the insurgents began to draw the Governor Toryalai Wesa compound. Waves of gunfire could still be heard throughout the city at 4 pm. Pajhwok News Agency has reported that 20 explosions struck the city in the course of the fighting, including two suicide bombs.

Spokesman for the Taliban Qari Yusuf Ahmadi said Tolo TV news that a number of Taliban fighters had taken to target four government buildings in the city of Kandahar and that they had inflicted victims on the Government, a statement later refused by the Government. In a video of Tolo a heavy plume of light gray smoke can be seen rising from the city as maggot General fresh helicopters and gunfire can be heard talking in the background. An Afghan National Army soldier can be seen patrolling the streets with an AK-47 at the ready, while the locals go about their business. Few cars or auto rickshaw is visible in the normally crowded streets. More recently, the city has been the theatre of a jailbreak orchestrated by the Taliban out of hundreds of inmates at the main prison of the city, including hundreds of fighters. A few days earlier, a suicide bomber dressed as a police officer killed Khan General Mohammed Mujahid, head of the Kandahar provincial police. (See the photos of the battle against the Taliban).

"This was clearly intended to be a spectacular offensive attack of spring," said major-general Laster, in the press release of the ISAF, battles of today. "." Indeed, the insurgent group was faithful to their word, as coordinated attacks come just a week after the announcement of Taliban, he was ready to begin in the spring of traditional fighting season in an effort to show the force after a winter of lossesobservers noted. However, after that of the United Nations Statistics were released earlier this year showing that the Taliban was responsible for 75% of the dead civilian in 2010, the group is clearly indicated in his statement that he would not harm civilians, apparently aware of indignation triggered by dozens of dead civilians caused by a series of attacks in February and March. Yet, the group warned that "all Afghans should keep in mind to stay away from gatherings, convoys and the centres of the enemy," in the Declaration. In the ongoing battle of big picture for the hearts and minds in Afghanistan major-general Laster added that, "the insurgents claimed they would protect civilians in their release in the spring offensive, however even today that they have injured more than civil".

The ad week last by the Taliban that it would intensify attacks in the coming months, coupled with the murder of Ben Laden sparked fears among the Afghans and foreigners as long as there is a significant increase in violence. Death of Osama bin Laden "is an opportunity for the Taliban to intensify their activities because there will be advertising the same." All US forces here and Iraq should be on high alert increased. "This has increased the likelihood of further attacks," Chris Barry, an civil by Major Crimes Taskforce investigating the army U.S. - a unit to investigate the murders of high representatives of the Afghan Government level - said in time on the day of the death of Osama bin Laden. (See pictures of people celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden).

In a further warning, Mashal Lotfullah, spokesman for the National Directorate of security, said at a press conference that "the death of Osama does not mean the end of terrorism, because al-Qaida is spreading like a spider NET on the Afghanistan and in other countries."

Ben Laden "may have lived in Pakistan for more than 7 years"

ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan- Osama bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan for more than seven years before be shot dead by US forces, senior Pakistani security officials, said Saturday, a disclosure that can foster anger key ally of Washington in the presence of the enemy number one in the country.

One of the widows of Osama bin Laden said investigators Pakistan that he remained in a village nearly two and a half years before moving to the nearby garrison of Abbottabad city, where he was killed Monday.

Wife, Amal Ahmed Abdelfettah, said investigators more sooner than bin Laden and his family had spent five years in Abbottabad, where a hunt of the most complex and expensive human history ended.

What is one of the leaders of security "Amal (wife of Osama bin Laden) has told investigators that they lived in a village of Haripur district for nearly two and a half years before moving to Abbottabad at the end of 2005.""," told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Abdelfettah, with two other wives and several children, were among 15-16 persons were arrested by the Pakistani authorities to the enclosure after the raid.

Under strong pressure, Pakistan, strongly dependent on billions of dollars of American aid, is to explain how bin Laden could have spent so many years without being detected a few hours by car from his seat of intelligence in the capital.

Suspicions were exacerbated pervasive Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency that Pakistan, which has a long history of contacts with militant groups, may have had links with bin Laden - or that at least some of its agents has done.

Pakistan has rejected these suggestions and said that he paid the highest human life award and money by supporting the war on launched activism after Osama bin Laden followers organized the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on America.

Security officials said that Pakistan has launched an investigation into the presence of Osama bin Laden in the country of South Asia, considered essential to stabilise the neighbouring Afghanistan.

"It is very serious that bin Laden lived in cities (in Pakistan)... and we could nail it down fully, said one of the officials."

Pakistani leaders have already been narcotics problems before revelations that bin Laden was in their backyard raised new questions about their commitment to the fight against militancy.

Taliban militants linked to Al-Qaeda which seem to stage suicide attacks to remain a threat of major security despite several military offensives against their bases in the mountainous region of forbidding border between Pakistan and the Afghanistan.

The economy is stagnant and the Government must impose politically unpopular reforms to keep the money in an International Monetary Fund $ 11 billion loan towards Pakistan.

Pakistan are more impatient with food prices soaring and poverty of services and an education system which is the case of deficiencies that many parents are obliged to send their children to Islamic seminars spread extremist ideologies that fuel militancy.

Anger and suspicion between Washington and Islamabad on the raid in Abbottabad, 30 km from the Pakistani capital, showed no sign of abating.

The New York Times on Saturday quoted Pakistani officials saying the administration Obama had demanded Pakistan disclose the identity of some of its intelligence agents top as Washington seeks to whether they had contacts with bin Laden or his agents before the raid on his compound.

Officials were providing details of what the Times called Monday a tense discussion between Pakistani officials and a U.S. Envoy to Pakistan.

A Pakistani security officer denied the report, which he characterized as "false" and "malicious."

Many of Washington suspect Pakistani authorities had been either grossly incompetent or plays a double game in the hunt for bin Laden and partnership of both countries against the violent Islamists.

As it is committed in the fight against the damage on the presence of Osama bin Laden, Pakistan must prepare for the possibility that supporters angered by the death of Osama bin Laden will strike back.

Given that al-Qaeda has links with the Pakistani Taliban, this country could be an easy target.

Al Qaeda acknowledged that bin Laden is dead, allay misgivings by some Muslim leader of the militant group had really been killed by US forces and pledged to mount more attacks in the West.

The announcement Friday by the Islamist militant organization seems intended to show his supporters everywhere in the world, the group survived as an effective network.

In a statement online, he said of bin Laden's blood, "is most valuable for us and for every Muslim to wasted in vain be."

"It will remain, with the permission of Allah the Almighty, a curse that hunting Americans and their collaborators and their hunting inside and outside their country."

Al Qaeda has urged Pakistan to raise against their Government to "purify" the country of what he calls the shame he caused by shooting of Osama bin Laden and the "filth of Americans who spread corruption in it."

In Washington, said U.S. U.S. intelligence official has created on the ground in Abbottabad in advance the raid monitoring. A telephone call last year to a man known as the main service to bin Laden helped the CIA for the compound, the Washington Post reported Saturday.

American authorities say also among the materials found to hide the bin Ladens was evidence al-Qaeda at one point considered as impugning the rail transport system us on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11.

Attacks to avenge Frontline Taliban promise after Ben Laden

Kabul- heavy Taliban fighters armed, appearing in a video intended to show first line activists, in the South of the Afghanistan said the killing of Osama bin Laden will encourage them to continue fighting until all the foreign troops have left the country.

It was impossible to verify the authenticity of the video, which was obtained by Reuters in the South of the Afghanistan.

Approximately six non-identified, all with their faces covered, Taliban pose assault rifles, rocket grenade launchers, machine guns and other weapons.

Three of them is committed to continue to fight foreign troops directed by NATO and Afghan forces despite the death of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader killed by an American strike team in Pakistan Monday.

"Even if"the martyrdom of Osama Ben Laden news are true, it cannot change not our jihad policy... While it is true that he died, it will give us more motivation to continue our jihad, a hunter said in Pashto on video."."

Veterans spoke on condition that their name and a location not disclosed. Reuters obtained the images from a source in the South of the Afghanistan.

Veterans lined up across from the high walls of an unknown compound. No identifying landmarks could be seen.

"The martyrdom of Osama bin Laden will not affect our strategy and will not prevent us from our goal," the second soldier said, looking directly into the camera. "We will continue with our jihad (holy war) and sacrifice against the infidels to the day of judgment and we will avenge our martyrs."

Analysts say Taliban in Afghanistan leaders seek to distance themselves from al-Qaeda, although the links between the two Islamic groups had already decreased over the years, even though the insurgency in Afghanistan grew.

The Taliban sheltered bin Laden in the South of the Afghanistan until their Government was overthrown by U.S.-backed Afghan forces, in the months after September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States, orchestrated by bin Laden.

Bin Laden and the leaders of the Taliban, led by Mullah Mohammad Omar flees into the neighbours in Pakistan.

DOUBTS, QUESTIONS

A spokesman for the Taliban this week raised doubts as to whether bin Laden had actually been killed.

The death of Osama bin Laden has led to questions of the United States if Washington could now rethink its presence and accelerate what is planned as a progressive levy troops before transfer security responsibility to Afghan forces at the end of 2014.

Another veteran, carrying a radio similar to those often used by the commanders of the Taliban, appeared to be the leader of the group, said its fighters rest attached to Mullah Omar.

"We will continue our Jihad against foreign forces." Our slogan is Allah Akbar (God is greatest), "he says.

"Our Holy Koran says that we have the responsibility of our country and the religion to defend and protect. "Even if a Mujahedin fighter is living in Afghanistan, we will continue our Jihad under the leadership of his Excellency Amirullmomineen (Mullah Omar),", said the bespectacled Hunter.

Yet allegedly taken photos at the same time showed an arsenal including several machine guns, perforating rockets and launchers, assault rifles and other weapons.

After warnings by the senior commanders of the NATO in Afghanistan that a wave of new attacks expected on 1 may, the Taliban announced last week their "spring offensive" had started, with the Government of Afghan and foreign military on their target list.

A report published late Thursday by the network of analysts Afghanistan said that despite setbacks against the Afghan people and the troops of the coalition over the past year, the Taliban had managed to extend its influence far beyond the strongholds in the South.

"Not only the Taliban are fighting against the Afghan Government, but want to replace,", said the report.

Heat on bin Laden, military of Pakistan seeks to explain

Stung by the embarrassment of the discovery and death of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad on Monday, Pakistan's powerful military establishment is under pressure to make changes in its relationship with key allies, and in its fight against terrorism.

After three days of sedulous silence on the matter, the military and intelligence leadership on Thursday shared its perspective on the Abbottabad debacle with a select group of senior Pakistani journalists - No. foreign news media were invited. The rare closed-door briefing was prompted by a desire to challenge an emerging global narrative that incriminated Pakistan's security establishment in bin-Laden's ability to elude capture, according to some of those present. (See pictures of Osama bin Laden's Pakistan hideout.)

General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani reiterated at the briefing that Pakistan had not been informed of the raid until it was over. The first communication from the U.S. was a phone call at around 5 a.m. Pakistan time from Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen. Kayani congratulated Mullen on the mission's success, but pleaded that President Barack Obama should refrain from "negative remarks" about Pakistan in his planned address - and was pleased that Obama's live TV announcement avoided criticizing Pakistan.

Kayani's first indication of the raid came earlier, however, with the news of a helicopter crashing and exploding, which was covered by local news media in Abbottabad. The general knew it wasn't a Pakistani helicopter: "We don't fly at night," he told reporters gathered at the military's headquarters in Rawalpindi. Kayani picked up the phone and ordered his airforce to "scramble the jets". Pakistani military analysts say an order to scramble jets is an authorization to shoot down anything in the sky. Purpose by the time two F - 16s had reached the scene, the Americans had left.

Kayani responded to Pakistani concerns over how the U.S. helicopters had entered Pakistani airspace undetected by attributing it to technological advantages. (See "As Pakistan Please Incompetence, Tougher Questions Go Unanswered.")

The most damaging charge against the Pakistani military, of course, is that it must have known bin Laden's was hiding in the small garrison town where army personnel at frequent checkpoints demand identification. "they knew." "they knew he was there," wrote columnist Cyril Almeida, echoing the suspicion of many Pakistanis Dawn. Kayani had driven past bin-Laden's bolt-hole literally a week earlier, on his way to tell a gathering at the military academy that the "Pakistan army is fully aware of internal and external threats."

Kayani was adamant that the Pakistanis had no idea that bin Laden was hiding in Abottabad. "We had no clear, actionable information on Osama bin-Laden," he told the journalists. "If we had it, we would have acted ourselves." No one would have questioned our performance for ten years. "It would have raised our international prestige."

Kayani's argument is supported by some senior Western Oxford in Islamabad, who say that there is no conclusive evidence of Pakistani complicity. Nor have Washington's statements alleged complicity, despite suspicions. Oxford do not rule out the possibility that junior intelligence officers may have been involved, however. Instead of focusing on whether Pakistan was either complicit or incompetent, the explanation may lie in its lack of focus or effort. In recent years, Pakistan has concentrated chiefly on the threat from the Pakistani Taliban, to the neglect of those posed by al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban.

The Abbottabad area, Kayani told the briefing, had been of interest to Pakistan's security establishment since at least 2004. There was no suspicion involving the compound, however, and he emphasized that intelligence had been gathered broadcasts. Suspicions about Abbottabad were first raised when intercept equipment picked up phone calls in Arabic to Saudi Arabia, concerning finance. That information, Pakistan's military leadership says, was shared with the U.S. At some point, the CIA shutdown its communication with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. "No intelligence agency shares 100% of its intelligence" with another country, said Kayani, himself a former ISI chief. (See an animated video of the U.S. raid on bin Laden.)

Kayani said that in his ISI role, he was responsible for tracking down Faraj al-Libi, a senior al-Qaeda member who lived in Abbottabad in 2003 and was arrested the following year in Mardan. Western Oxford and analysts say that Pakistan's success in capturing several al-Qaeda members have been driven by U.S. intelligence. Al-Qaeda leaders Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh, and Afghan Taliban commander Mullah Baradar, were all seized in joint operations. When it came to bin Laden, however, U.S. officials feared that cooperation could compromise the operation.

While Pakistan's foreign secretary, Salman Bashir, had earlier in the spoken of "strategic convergence" between Islamabad and Washington, Pakistan's intelligence chief thing to be less emollient. Sitting near Kayani, Lieut.. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha - recently included in the TIME 100 - said that despite extensive mutual assistance between the CIA and the ISI, Pakistan had made its interests clear to Washington. And, Pasha said he had made clear to Washington that if the U.S. is deemed to be acting against Pakistan's interests, "we'll not help you, we'll resist you."

The consensus among Oxford and analysts is that the bin-Laden debacle will compel Pakistan's military leadership to demonstrate a greater commitment to fighting al-Qaeda. Pakistani leaders have said that they will neither tolerate nor can they afford, further similar raids, for example to 16 al-Qaeda number 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri or Taliban leader Mullah Omar. That said, it is fair to assume that the ISI will seek to avoid that possibility by intensifying their own efforts to find bin Laden's deputy. Yet, at the same time, Pakistan can be expected to assert itself in ways that Washington will not like.

Embarrassment over bin-Laden's presence in Abbottabad notwithstanding, the Pakistani security establishment is angry at what it views as the first U.S. invasion of a nuclear-armed ally. It fears that neighboring India may be smiling at the vulnerability demonstrated by the American raid, and the resulting indignity is hard to swallow. The Army has decided to "reduce the strength of U.S. military staff in Pakistan to the minimum essential," it said in a statement on Thursday. At the closed-door briefing, Pasha indignantly claimed that his own ISI was on the verge of being "outnumbered" by foreign agents. Still, the bin-Laden episode limits the security establishment's room to maneuver in several ways. (See why the U.S. won't break up with Pakistan.)

Until now, Pakistan's civilian government has sat silently by watching the military make the key decisions on national security and foreign policy, and even extend their control of certain sectors of the economy. A public long accustomed to muffling its criticism of the army has largely acquiesced. Now, for the first time in several years, many are prepared to openly blame the Army for a humiliation some are comparing to the fall of Dhaka in 1971, when Pakistan lost control of what is now Bangladesh. Suddenly, the civilian government looks more resilient. And the military is not only in trouble with Washington, but also with another key ally, Saudi Arabia, which will not be pleased that its most determined enemy was found in Pakistan. The raid in Abottabad has produced a moment of rare vulnerability in a military establishment that had long been Pakistan's strongest power center.

25 Million reward for Osama bin Laden is dead likely to keep Secret

If bin Laden is dead, it is unclear if any person will receive the $ 25 million reward for his capture. It is because the confidentiality of the rewards for Justice program, an inter-agency programme administered by the State Office Department of Security diplomatic.

"In view of the importance of privacy for rewards for Justice program, we cannot comment on the question of whether someone has been nominated for an award or in this or in a particular case," said Harry Edwardsa spokesman for the State Department.

Since its inception, the program paid more than 100 million to more than 60 people with information "prevented international terrorist attacks or helped bring to justice those involved in prior acts," according to the rewards for Justice Web site. Most of this money has been paid since the terrorist attacks of September 11.

The Act which started the program, the 1984 International of Combat Terrorism Act, says that "" no reward…may exceeding 25 000 $000, except as personally authorized by the Secretary of State. ""

The State Department coordinates with various military, intelligence and law enforcement authorities such as the FBI, to administer the program. After a payment has been made, the program provides a report classified at the Congress, according to the program Web site.

Matt Levitt, Director of the programme on the fight against terrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Stein, said that the purpose of the rewards for Justice program is "an attempt to highlight, expose and also try to get people to be manifesterdans where it is possible"to give information leading to the capture of persons. ?

He said capturing bin Laden is still "a long shot," Although in other cases, the program "works very well."

"It depends on island how to network", said Levitt. "More based on the family and tribal allegiances and very tightly-knit are the least likely it will work.".

Photos: Most wanted list of the FBI

Department of State administers the separate awards programs for the drug barons and war criminals. The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs runs the Narcotics rewards program. The Office of Crime of war issues is working with the international criminal tribunals of the United Nations for more information on war criminals, for example, in Rwanda and the Yugoslavia.

With the death of Osama bin Laden, there are now 43 people on the list of "Wanted" of the program of international terrorists, including Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian-born doctor, who is regarded as the successor of bin Laden. Ben Laden is always included in most wanted fugitive list of the FBI.

Most of the people on the current State Department terrorist list have rewards of up to $ 5 million for information leading to their capture. Although al-Zawahiri and bin Laden had the highest levels of reward - to 25 million dollars on the most recent list - the largest payment to date has been $ 30 million paid to a person of the information that led to the death of the son of Saddam HusseinOuda? and Qusayin 2003, according to the program Web site.

Although each suspect on the list has a maximum of amount of reward, the State Department has a deliberative process to determine the value of information of a confidential informant.

Quiet Islamic world that Ben Laden age farm

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - in life, Osama bin Laden was burned in the Muslim consciousness in innumerable ways: the lion of holy warriors, the untouchable West nemesis, the evil zealot who soiled their faith with blood and intolerance.

Death, however, the voices around the Islamic world are now relatively tempered sharp counterpoint to the rage and shame - or hero-worship - that he has long inspired. .

For some, the account of the death of Osama bin Laden in a raid of U.S. early Monday on his compound of Pakistan is still much too much to accept. Application for a position on a militant Web site: "A really dead Sheikh."

But a more complex explanation for the relative calm on Muslim street is, in fact, on these same streets.

Across the Arab world pro-democracy uprisings suggest to many fist tight with al-Qaida ideology has little room for a new generation seeking Western-style political reforms and freedoms - even if al-Qaeda branches still keep soil in places such as the Yemen and Pakistan.

"Ben Laden dies in Egypt before being killed in Pakistan," said Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, Professor of political science at the University of Emirates. "Youth who successfully challenged the status quo with peaceful means proved to change the way in which the bin Ladens - the violent way, Jihad way - has not been."

Janitor Lebanon Saad Hariri, Prime Minister - which took office after his father Rafik Hariri was killed in a truck bombing 2005 - Beirut said dead Osama bin Laden used to something of a moment of silence for those killed by al-Qaeda or groups that borrowed their creed of violence.

"Any Arab or Muslim, who believes that terrorism is destructive and harmful to Arabism and Islam, could not but receive the news of the fate of bin Laden with feelings of sympathy to the family of thousands of victims who died in different regions of the world".Thanks to him, or by his orders, "said a statement by Saad Hariri.

Even in Iraq, there were a few public outpourings of happiness or grief in a country that has suffered years of relentless bombing and attacks by groups linked to al-Qaeda targeting forces American or U.S.-backed supporters of the Government.

A political analyst based in Baghdad, Hadi Jalo, said that it seems to reflect a change in the Sunni insurgent groups that called for an Islamic Caliphate of medieval style in Iraq once. They are now more and more plotting ways to influence the political world of the Iraq with American troops had to leave at the end of the year.

"Iraq today is different from the Iraq in 2004, 2005 and 2006," said Jalo. "If the news of the death came at this time, we would see mourning ceremonies in different areas where the insurgents of al-Qaida were active."

In the neighbouring countries of the Iran - which supports the Shiite militant enemies of militants of al-Qaeda the Iraq - death of Osama bin Laden brought few of reactions in public, but it has been used by the Islamic rulers of jab at Washington. Comment Wednesday by the Iran unofficial Fars News Agency fun hunting epic costs about these past ten years for most wanted American figure and its wars in the region.

"American lives are lost." Innocent civilians are killed. Many of the conflicts seem to be aware of to continue during a long period of time, ", said the Agency, which is closely aligned with powerful guards the Iran of the revolution."

The absence of major public outpourings or statements of al-Qaida also add another layer of speculation on his future. Most assumed that the top of the page helps Ben Laden, born in Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri, is the heir apparent al-Qaeda. He there has been only isolated calls for quick revenge against the United States of demonstrators or on jihadist Web sites.

A few hours after the announcement of the death of bin Laden, however, Director of the CIA Leon Panetta warned that "terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge" the assassination of the brain behind the terrorist attacks of September 11.

"Bin Laden is dead," Panetta wrote a memo to the staff of the CIA. "Al-Qaeda is not."

In southern Karachi of Pakistan on Wednesday, about 1,000 lament joined prayers for Ben Laden arranged by a charity linked to the militant. But there was some other protests in the country that bin Laden has used as fugitive base for years.

In the pre-9/11 bin Laden stronghold, Afghanistan, many people still refused to believe that he was dead in spite of positive DNA tests Washington. On Wednesday, President Obama said that in the United States does not publish the photo of the body of Osama bin Laden was taken after that he was killed.

"I do not think that he is dead," said Salam Jan Rishtania, a student of 26 years in Kandahar. "I do not trust the Americans because they are playing games here.". This can be a part of their game. ?

Yet, there are some acts of homage in other parts of the Muslim world.

About 25 people in the Gaza Strip held photos and posters of bin Laden Tuesday. On the podcast of the pan-Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera channel, some leased bin Laden messages among several others denouncing him.

"You are the Sheikh of the Mujahideen (holy warriors)." "God can grant you heaven," said a position. Another read: "You are in the sky, Sheikh Osama."

Ismail Haniyeh, Prime Minister of Gaza controlled by Hamas, has interpreted bin Laden as the victim of a funded by the State "terrorist act."

"We disagree with the vision of the Holy Warrior Osama bin Laden, but we condemn this terrorist act," Haniyeh told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "That the United States is not a heroic action, but a targeted assassination." ... To pursue and kill in Pakistan, which is a Muslim land, means to us another intervention in the lands of Islam. ?

But in Somalia, where a radical Islamist group dominates over large parts of the country, demonstrators marched lost through exhibits hosted by the Government of the capital Mogadishu and burned a flag, that they said represented al-Qaida.

They chanted "terror, terror go away." "Little children want to play."

Islamists in Pakistan to protest against the bin Laden raid (Reuters) United States

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - most influential Islamist party urged his followers to organise demonstrations of mass Friday to demand their Government withdraws its support of the war on activism after commandos killed U.S. Osama bin Laden, near Islamabad.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), one of the greatest political parties religion of the country, said that in the United States had violated the sovereignty of key ally Pakistan by sending its own forces in the town of garrison of Abbottabad to kill the al-Qaeda Chief.

Pakistan's support is essential to U.S. efforts against Islamic militants and also in the fight against the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan to fight.

"Even if there was no sympathy for the Americans, which would be dissipated after the way they were crushed and violated our sovereignty and our independence,"JI leader Syed Munawar Hasan told Reuters on Thursday.""

"We called everyone to organize peaceful demonstrations Friday in very large scale," he said. "Our first demand is... Pakistan should withdraw from the war against terrorism."

Anti-Americanism runs high in Pakistan, despite the billions of dollars in aid for nuclear weapons, poor country. Religious parties of Pakistan did not traditionally well at the ballot box, but they exert considerable influence in a country where Islam is more radicalized.

The war of the United States against militancy is unpopular in Pakistan, because of the perception of the civil dead against the attacks of drone against the suspected militants along the Afghan border.

But many people also criticize radical interpretation of Islam al-Qaeda and suicide bombers that lead his disciples and analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi said that any protests are likely to be more anti-états-Unis than Laden favour.

"I do not think that they (religious parties) will draw big crowds in gatherings." These events will put unlikely any large pressure on the Government to change course, "he says.

For the moment there some public protests in Pakistan against bin Laden killing early Monday to Abbottabad, 50 km (31 miles) northeast of Islamabad. A more violent activist of Pakistan groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba, held special prayers for the Chief of al-Qaeda and called for his death "martyrdom."

The fact that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, after seemed y lived for several years, has embarrassed as many people in the Government and powerful country's spy agency.

"In Pakistan and its security apparatus became something of a laughing stock, with the media around the world highlighting the discovery of the man most wanted in the world to a military Academy in leading walking distance."," The News wrote in an editorial Thursday.

Some Pakistani saying that they were too concerned about the difficulties of living in a country with a troubled economy and chronic shortages of power to join with any type of events.

"There is no electricity, no gas, with the rise in inflation, making ends meet is difficult every day.".

"If our country was not mired with economic difficulties at this stage, perhaps us would require more answers from the Government or the United States, but now I no longer have big problems," said Sara Ahmed, an employee of the Government in the port of Karachi.

U.S. says bin Laden when armed killed (Reuters)

 Osama bin Laden was not armed when he was shot by U.S. special forces, said White, as in fact Pakistan House with additional pressure on Wednesday to explain how most wanted man the world was not safe so long in a town near the capital.

Washington is committed to "go back" helped Pakistan if Ben Laden escape a hunting man 10 years before being killed in a U.S. raid on its walls fortified the city of Abbottabad. Islamabad denied that he gave shelter to the al-Qaeda Chief.

The CIA has said that he did not in Pakistan in advance on the raid because she feared that bin Laden would be tipped off the coast, highlighting the depth of mistrust between the two allies assumed.

US authorities have also been wrestling with whether to release graphic photos of the body of Osama bin Laden - which could provide evidence of his death, but also risks offending Muslims.

"It is fair to say that this is a macabre photography," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Pakistan has hailed the death of Osama bin Laden, but his Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "deep concern" what he calls an "unauthorized unilateral action". U.S. helicopters carrying the commandos used radar "blind spots" in the rugged terrain along the border of Afghanistan into Pakistan air space without being detected.

Carney insisted bin Laden stood during the raid - although it would not say how - when US forces stormed his compound North of Islamabad, and engaged in a shooting there.

"It was feared that bin Laden would oppose the capture operation, and indeed, he resisted," Carney said. "A woman... wife of Osama bin Laden, rushed the U.S. aggressor and was wounded in the leg but not killed." Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed. ?

While many leaders of the world applauded the U.S. operation that killed the bin Ladens, there are concerns in some parts of Europe in the United States was wrong to act as a police officer, judge and executioner.

Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder defends the action as legitimate Tuesday, but some in Europe, said bin Laden must have been captured and at trial.

"It was very clearly a violation of international law", former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said German TV. "The operation could also have incalculable consequences in the Arab world, in the light of all disorders."

PAKISTAN UNDER REVIEW

Pakistan has been the intense international scrutiny since the death of Osama bin Laden, with questions that its security agencies have been too incompetent to catch or knew all along where he was hiding and even if they were accomplices.

The compound where bin Laden was hiding - perhaps also long that five or six years - has been close to the Military Academy of Pakistan, Abbottabad, approximately 40 miles from Islamabad.

"It would be premature to rule out the possibility that there are some people in Pakistan, including the official establishment of Pakistan, which could have been aware of this," head of White House counter-terrorism John Brennan told National Public Radio.

"We are not accusing anyone at this stage, but we want to make sure that we get to the bottom of this.".

Prime Minister David Cameron UK said on the radio of the BBC that Islamabad must answer questions about what he called "support of Osama bin Laden network" in Pakistan.

In an interview with exceptionally waned with Time, Director of the CIA Leon Panetta magazine, explained why Islamabad was not informed of the raid until all helicopters carrying the US Navy SEALs - and body of Osama bin Laden - were out of Pakistani air space.

"It was decided that all efforts to work with the Pakistani could jeopardise the mission: they can alert targets,"Said Panetta."."

The Pakistani President, Asif Ali Zardari, in the first public comment background by any Pakistani leader, defended his Government, which receives billions of dollars in aid from the United States.

"Some in the U.S. press suggested that Pakistan had no vitality in pursuit of terrorism, or worse still that we were misleading and effectively protected the terrorists that we claimed to be continuing," Zardari wrote in the Washington Post. "Such speculation unfounded... do reflect fact.".

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan later said its spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had been sharing information on the compound with the CIA and other agencies of intelligence friendly since 2009 and has continued to do so until mid-April.

"It is important to note that taking advantage of much greater and active technology, CIA exploit leading intelligence given by us to identify and reach Osama bin Laden", the Ministry said in a lengthy statement.

RATINGS BOOST

Obama has experienced a resurgence in popularity of the assassination of the architect of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

About four in ten Americans say that their opinion of Obama improved after he ordered the raid. But the bump in its classification could be short-lived as priority of voters again on crucial national concerns to his 2012 re-election prospects.

Obama may face pressure more to accelerate the planned withdrawal in July of some U.S. forces of the unpopular war in Afghanistan.

The assassination of bin Laden could also assist a political settlement by making it easier for the Afghan Taliban to break their links with al-Qaeda.

"I think that this opens the door to push for a political settlement;" which depends, however, President Obama, choosing to take the opportunity, explains Joshua Foust on American security project in Washington.

The first reaction of the Taliban, however, was to challenge the truth of the death of Osama bin Laden, saying that Washington has not provided "acceptable evidence to back up their claim" that he had been killed.

No photos or video of the funeral of body or swift to Osama bin Laden at sea have been released.

Panetta said there was never any doubt that ultimately a photograph would be made public, but other officials said that no final decision had been made, reflecting an intense internal debate in Washington.

I'll be Candide. "There are sensitivities here in terms of the opportunity to release photographs of Osama bin Laden," said Carney.

Bin Laden Raid: Pakistan feels the heat of the mistrust of the U.S. (Time.com)

When the President Asif Ali Zardari phone ringing at 1: 15 am Monday, it was President Barack Obama on the line, with news that an operation of U.S. to eliminate Osama bin Laden and recover his body had been successful. That phone call, Pakistani officials say the time, is the first that their Government heard of a U.S. military operation conducted only three hours drive from Islamabad. No there was no confusion between the obvious mistrust of Washington in the timeline: Pakistan's military establishment only learned of the raid while it was too late, according to the Government and the military authorities. U.S. helicopters were stung by Afghanistan without being detected, as Pakistani radar had been frozen. The Pakistani Government, in a statement, attempted to explain this phenomenon more further by saying, the choppers have benefited from the "blind points in radar due to hilly terrain coverage." At the time where Pakistani hunters depart to continue their, it was too late.

The discovery and the death of bin Laden on Pakistani soil has been a source of great embarrassment here. Throughout the course of Monday, the Government and the armed struggle to form a response. Some awkward facts officials tried to suggest that there was a form of cooperation, but a Government statement Tuesday conceded that Pakistan was kept out of the loop. A senior Pakistani army tells time that they were unaware of the raid, but drew the attention of the comments made by Obama and by the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, insisting on the fact that there had been cooperation of Pakistani intelligence involving first at the United States on the runway which allowed them to locate compound of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad. (See the photos of the Lair of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan).

Still, Pakistani officials believe the United States decision to leave them in the dark was based on the deep mistrust. "These actions undermine cooperation and can sometimes be [a] threat to the peace and security", added the statement of the Government of Pakistan. The Pakistani military official would not comment on the question of whether the army or its intelligence service, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), had been aware of the compound or presence of Osama bin Laden. The ISI had a descent in the same compound in 2003, pursuing al-Qaeda leader Faraj al-Libi. This raid, they insist, was crucial to his arrest the following year. Since then, focus derived from the area, but officials insist that the ISI has also recently last month has provided the CIA with intelligence on the presence of foreigners y. The US authorities, however, seem to believe that at least some security Pakistani establishment had knowledge of the presence of Osama bin Laden. And Pakistanis believe this staging a raid of such deep inside Pakistani territory without compensation from the first operation with Pakistani authorities "was a lesson", said a senior Pakistani official.

Despite the mistrust between them, however, the United States and Pakistan have no choice but to continue their tense relationship. Marc Grossman, President Obama Afghanistan and Pakistan's Special Envoy arrived for talks with senior Pakistani officials on Tuesday. His message, paraphrased by a cynical Pakistani official, was that Washington is prepared to work with Pakistan if they behave as a "good boys". Visit Grossman took place during the prévuse visit to meet with senior Pakistani and Afghan officials. But the raid of bin Laden was preparing great in his meetings with the Pakistani. (Watch the announcement of President Obama of the death of Osama Ben Laden.)

Relations between the two parties had reached the lowest point in the weeks preceding the raid of bin Laden. Following this impasse of six weeks on the fate of Raymond Davis, a contractor for the CIA who had killed two Pakistani men, an incident in Lahore in February there were fierce disagreements on the use of CIA drone frappes targeting suspected militants in the tribal areas.

Pakistani officials expect Washington to use their embarrassment on Ben Laden take advantage of cooperation more of them. One of the consequences should be a renewed escalation of drone - there have been strikes that two since March 17. It may also be more pressure on Pakistan to help the United States in Afghanistan. Washington is deeply concerned about the links between the ISI and the Haqqani network, based in North Waziristan, whose fighters are among the fiercest NATO Afghanistan face. Pakistan has long been against groups of Taliban resisted limit their activities to fight against the forces of the West across the border. The Pakistani army usually meets the coast of the pressure of the U.S. with a plea that he overstretched too to launch a military offensive in Waziristan in the North, and that other priority challenges. Now, it can be pressed in the launch of the campaign to the United States has long sought. (See the photos of the battle against the Taliban).

Greater cooperation with the United States on the Afghanistan would limit the ability of Pakistan to shape the final of the Afghanistan his own interests, which include cementing a key role in its pro-Taliban in post - U.S. allies. If the Pakistani side had used the confrontation on Davis to push back against the United States, the raid of bin Laden put on the defensive.

In addition to the growing pressure of the United States, Pakistan in security also faces a challenge from the inside. Awareness that it was impossible to find the bin Ladens in its own backyard, or other hid him, has further eroded the confidence of the public. "They were taken with their pants down,", says a senior political opposition, asking to remain anonymous. In particular, there was little outrage in this raid, which will come to the relief of American officials and Pakistani. While militant groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba has condemned the murder and offered funeral prayers in his honour, no there was no great show of rage in the streets. But the Pakistani Taliban have made their ordinary intention. Regardless of the facts, they are convinced that the Pakistan helped to get bin Laden - and they have promised to take revenge in Pakistan's cities.

Afghanistan: Where even the Taliban and Don't Care about Ben Laden (Time.com)

Examine how closely linked to their stories were, the Taliban in Afghanistan have not yet to release a statement on the death of Osama bin Laden. The group is not be inward; It just does not quite know what to say for the moment. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in time: "we have not received any word from our leadership on the death of Osama.". I cannot confirm that he is dead or alive. Due to some problems of security, the Taliban did not have much contact with Osama bin Laden for 10 years. "In a show striking divisions which had slipped between the Taliban and Osama bin Laden's organization, Mujahid added that"the activity of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan was immaterial." All activities have been and continue to be carried out by the Taliban. ?

The distinction is one who is not lost on the Afghan people and may explain why - at least in the capital, even in the most sympathetic to the Taliban Pashtun areas - response to the announcement of the death of bin Laden was so muted in the hours after theIt was announced. If anything, Afghans showed a kind of defence that the arch-terrorists had been killed by the US Special Forces in Abbottabad, a city located on the territory of their hated neighbor, Pakistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has echoed this sentiment at a press conference Monday. "We have said repeatedly that al-Qaeda sanctuaries do not exist in Afghanistan." Its caches are located elsewhere. And the killing of Osama bin Laden has shown that our claim was correct, "said Karzai. (See the obituary Osama bin Laden).

Opinion of the President was shared in most places. A store for the sale of spectacles, two traders has contributed to a doctor, who was sporting an Afghan flag on his backhand, choose a pair of glasses as a small colour TV played an Indian clip in the background. "Most Afghan politicians were saying that terrorists are not in Afghanistan - that they come from outside our borders." Dead Osama in Pakistan is the enormous evidence for the U.S. military - is proof that our politicians were correct, "said the doctor, Arifullah (who goes by a name, like many Afghans), he tried on the glasses." He was not able to return to his native province of Kunar on the Pakistan border for the past 13 months because of intense violence.

In the street, in a store that sold President Karzai his selections of lamb wool brand, the new has been screaming full force on old radio sitting in a pile of small pieces of leather and hats finished. The voice excited advertiser's Radio Azadi blared around the shop not informed, to paraphrase statements Karzai, saying: "the battle is not in our homes, our villages - is at our border." We couldn't find Osama in [the provinces of] Kandahar, Mazar, Badakhshan, Bamyan, Kabul, Parwan, Ghor, Farah, heart or Paktika - he was at Abbottabad. "(Watch the announcement of President Obama of the death of Osama Ben Laden.)

From the breathtaking pace of the broadcaster, Sayeed Habib Sadaat calmly repaired an old hat and said, "it is good news." We are pleased that Osama is dead. It was he who helped destroy our country and who carried out attacks throughout the world. The suicide bombers came from him. ?

And it is not only Presidents, doctors and hatters who feel that they have been proven correct as it have found hope for peace. "We hope that the attacks will decrease." "After that, our coordination with Pakistan will become stronger, because Osama was that problems between the Afghanistan and Pakistan," predicted Lutfullah Mashal, spokesman for the National Directorate of security, domestic intelligence of the country. "It is good news for all Afghans." We are pleased because in the last years we have seen that al-Qaeda and the Taliban are from outside our borders. Now we have the evidence, he said in time.

Through the various branches of the fragmented Government of the Afghanistan, the announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden has favoured a display of unity rarely given. "At this time, the international community must know where there is terrorism." Now, they know that it exists outside our borders. "On the one hand, Pakistanis have said that they are our friend, but on the other side, they claimed Osama bin Laden," said Shukria Barakzai, Member of the lower House of Parliament representing the province of Kabul, by telephone.

These are the Afghanistan, there are always those who will be in question which is actually the truth. Indeed, some Afghans continue to doubt the news of the death of Osama bin Laden. "This is not the first time Osama was killed," said a young man sitting in front of a store of development of film for a round of laughter by dozens of spectators in Kart-e-Naw, a district dominated by Pashtuns, the ethnic majority which is more closely linked with the Taliban. At the corner, the mosque Etifaq, white-veiled girls and boys in white socks ran in and out of the Madrasah of the complex. At the gate, Hajji Gulab Zar, Professor at the school in time said that "teachers and students say that it is propaganda." It is impossible. I mean, once before, on the new people said that he died in Karachi (Pakistan). "See the pictures of the battle against the Taliban.

In a country as left behind by news and rife with as the Afghanistan conspiracy theories, it is understandable that some would have a hard to believe that such a famous figure was killed. A student of the University, compared to a Bollywood film. "If they are showing his death on television, they must have evidence that Osama is dead." Therefore, now, people wait just for this. The Government and the media must now prove to the people. Many people say that Osama has double as Saddam in Iraq. Other people say it's just a ploy - as in Hindi films - which is claiming only he is dead so that he can hatch a new plan, "says Esmatullah, a student in political science at the local University.

But even if he is still alive, bin Laden has ceased to be relevant. "In the last two or three years in Afghanistan and in the world media and did not speak Osama bin Laden," Masoom, a local resident named single, said time in the courtyard of the mosque in Etifaq. "" "". It was not important al-Qaida. It was not important for the Taliban. He was the leader, but al-Qaeda is not just Osama. They have other leaders and they will continue their activities. However, Afghans may differ on the fate of Osama bin Laden, they agree on one thing: the death of a man will not bring peace to their country.
