What to do with former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's compound has caused problem in Abbottabad, Pakitan - where the former leader lived and was killed in a 2011 US raid.
Local authorities want to construct a children's playground there, while the military wish to build a graveyard. BBC reports that the two sides have fought over control of the land - and on Wednesday the military erected a wall around the site, surprising local authorities.
Bin Laden had been living there in secret, in a three-storey building behind high walls, for several years before his death. The land has remained without use ever since.

I think the extremist muslims should make the place their Mecca, since it connotes their symbol of authority to wage war against the perceived enemies of their Allah. I'm very sure Pakistan will soon overtake Saudi Arabia in terms of annual pilgrimage to such a "holy" site. Why will every terrorist attack be attributed to Islam? Will someone please provide an answer?
ReplyDeleteYou are right, very right!
ReplyDeleteBecause Islam is a terrible religion and its adherents terribly embrace terrorism. By their fruits you shall know them.
