# 169, Final station for Usama

169. A superbly executed operation by US Navy SEAL forces based in Afghanistan accomplished the demise of the most wanted anti-American Usama or Osama bin Laden (also known by the acronym UBL) inside a well fortified Pakistani mansion.
This historic action brings to light at least 3 remarkable truths:

  • As the Pakistani government couldn't grow into a reliable partner, the US needed to build its own intelligence structure to chase UBL.
  • The key data to uncover the couriers network serving UBL was obtained 4 years ago thanks to the enhanced interrogation techniques abominated by president Obama.
  • UBL is dead, but the war against Islam originated (the most "modern" version of religion based) terror is far from over.
