According to a source in state institutions CBS U.S. airstrike in order to Yemen, which killed two leaders of the local branch of al-Qaida, was just Awlaki, who at this time was not there. Recall, May 5, U.S. officials said the destruction in the southern provinces of the country Shabwa Musaida brothers Abdullah and Mubarak, traveling by car. "We had hoped that he was there" – confessed to the source. The Defense Ministry confirmed that the brothers were killed Shabwa Mubarak, but refrained from more detailed comments. Yemen, a cell of the international terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, also known as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the most active groups in the region and the world. In November last year, its leaders have claimed responsibility for the wreck of the cargo plane in the UAE and parcel with the explosive devices found in mail shipments near London and a warehouse in Dubai. Anwar al-Awlaki, who was born and raised in the U.S. in a family originally from Yemen, became fascinated radical Islam while studying at the University of Colorado.

In particular, Awlaki is suspected of organizing a failed Dec. 25 last year, the attack on board a U.S. aircraft to Northwest, a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, the responsibility for which is claimed by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. " Then, we recall, the 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farooq Abdulmutalla pulled out underwear explosive device and tried to bring it into effect, but the explosion did not happen. Surrounding passengers overpowered the attacker. Special services are also called Awlaki implicated in the mass shooting at a U.S. military base of Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, when 39-year-old Nadal, Major Malik Hasan, armed with two pistols, killed 13 people before being arrested. In February, the head of the U.S. Counterterrorism Center, Michael Leiter said that al-Qaida has suffered serious casualties in Pakistan and the greatest danger now is not Osama bin Laden, namely Awlaki, who may, through the Internet to recruit people, including from the United States. "Justice caught up with" Meanwhile, Barack Obama, who arrived on Saturday to congratulate the participants in the operation to eliminate Osama bin Laden, said that by destroying the latter, the U.S. was beheaded by Al Qaeda. "We have already Autrey ali s (Al-Qaida) head "- he said at a meeting with soldiers at Fort Campbell (Ky.), which went to Pakistan unit involved in the operation. "Our strategy is working. There's no more significant evidence than that justice caught up with Osama bin Laden. We continue to remain America, which administers the difficult and great deeds, "- said Obama. Shortly before the speech to 2,3 thousand troops of the White House, met with a group of special forces and helicopter pilots, who are directly involved in the operation. The meeting was held behind closed doors. Later, the U.S. president called the operation carried out the "quiet professionals of America." "I have the opportunity to speak on behalf of Americans and people around the world:" Well done "- he praised the soldiers. "He died as a shaheed," In the meantime, opponents of the United States gave his assessment of what has happened. Movement of the radical Islamic fundamentalist Taliban, based in Afghanistan, issued a statement saying that the killing of the leader of al-Qaeda will give new impetus to fight against the invaders of their country. Representatives of the Taliban and bin Laden giving thanks for what they call martyrdom. Simultaneously with this statement, the Taliban attacked the residence of the governor of Kandahar province Turyalaya Scales. According to ITAR-TASS, in the city there are fights, explosions thundered over 20, according to witnesses, at least six of them were committed by suicide bombers. Representatives of the Taliban claimed responsibility for these events, but stressed that "today's action has no relation to the elimination of the U.S. secret services leader of al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden. Murder of Osama bin Laden also condemned on Saturday the head of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, emphasizing its non-legal nature. "While we condemn the methods of al-Qaeda, particularly acts against peaceful citizens, we oppose the fact that the United States or anyone else resorted to extrajudicial killings," – said Meshaal in a statement. He also condemned "the shedding of the Arab and Muslim blood and outrages upon personal dignity," which were the result of killing bin Laden and his burial at sea. In the Sunni areas of Iraq on Saturday, mourning ceremonies are held and public prayer in connection with the murder of bin Laden. Located west of Baghdad near Abu Ghraib, Sheikh Salman Zoba Zoba tribe found three large mourning tent with portraits of "terrorist number 1", which accepts condolences for his death. Iraqi security forces, according to an eyewitness, not impede mourning ceremoniyam. Funeral tents have also been established in the area of ​​Al-Saidi in Baghdad and Al-Yusuf to the south of the Iraqi capital. So, on the eve of the Al-Bashair in Al-Yusuf was praying for the repose of the soul of the former head of al-Qaeda, during which the mosque, Sheikh Mahmoud al-Juburi called him a "true hero". "He lived a hero and died a hero. He was a true fighter against the enemies of Islam. In the name of it, he refused all the pleasures of this life and died as a shaheed, "- said the preacher, according to RIA Novosti. "And whether Osama?" The report that U.S. intelligence agencies in Pakistan eliminated Osama bin Laden, has caused worldwide set of questions. In particular, the White House does not explain why bin Laden, who was reportedly unarmed (although, according to these reports, tried to resist his bare hands), it was necessary to kill it in front of his family, and not to arrest and prosecute ( in the United States is not prohibited by the death penalty). It is unclear why the body of Osama bin Laden had decided to show reverence and bury it at sea according to Muslim traditions. These and other issues generated a number of different versions of what happened, including conspiracy: expressed doubts not only that the operation took place, but in fact there is even such a man. Expressed as a suggestion that bin Laden is still alive, and the assumption that he had been dead a long time. One of the most original statements made on this topic this week, the Pentagon consultant Dr. Steve Pechenik, a former U.S. Navy captain, who has held senior positions under Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, worked for the Reagan and Bush senior. The popular evening show of Alex Jones, he said that bin Laden was dead even before U.S. troops invaded Iraq. Pechenik argues that "the terrorist number 1" suffered from Marfan syndrome and died in 2001, and the government was only waiting for the right moment to announce it. He also testified that one of the senior officers of the military department confessed to him that the September 11 attack was organized by the U.S. secret services. Pechenik said he was ready to repeat his words in court, reports Infowars. Meanwhile, as the BBC reports, with reference to its sources in Washington expect the head of Pakistani intelligence, which should go there for an explanation of how bin Laden was able to spend so much time in the country unnoticed. According to sources, the wife of Osama bin Laden told the Pakistani authorities that she was five years did not leave the room, which was killed by her husband. However, she did not specify whether to stay indoors all the time by the leader of al-Qaeda. Military, who wished to remain anonymous, SCazaleas, in the hands of Pakistani authorities are three wives of Osama bin Laden, one of them – a citizen of Yemen. Wife of the leader of al-Qaeda "also reported that during the shooting of wounding, after which she lost consciousness. At this point, bin Laden was still alive. According to the woman, after her daughter told her that she had seen the killing of his father. Pakistani authorities have taken away from the villa bin Laden's 13 children – two girls and 11 boys. Itself villa, where he was killed by a terrorist, now cordoned off by Pakistani authorities, journalists are not allowed inside. In Pakistan, already have: this place will be destroyed, so it did not become a place of pilgrimage fanatics.
