Osamas Departure and its Aftermaths

Osama Bin Ladin, the momentous icon in the industry of terror has been assassinated in a military raid by USA special Navy Seal forces on May 2, 2011 in Abbotabad, 51 kilometers in distance from Islamabad. Pakistan and rein military kept unaware of all that operation in which the Stealth technology helicopters were operated to stay undetectable from Pakistan radar system. USA killed Osama Bin Ladin, carried his corpse and gets buried at sea. The killing was hailed by all states of the world as world wide celebration reported especially in 9/11 victimized city of USA, New York. Indeed, a milestone has been accomplished but it is not the end of war as USA and Pakistan have to be glaringly cautious from any expected atrocious terrorism from Al Qaida as a vengeance to Osama Bin Ladin killing. Despite the violation of international laws to sabotage the sovereignty of an independent country to assassinate a single entity without a prior ultimatum to victim state, the president Obama vamped an alluring slogan for next election as obamas popularity in USA was left to only 41% due to indulgence in an unpopular war of Afghanistan with an addition of surging fiscal deficit resulting in unemployment hike. Osama Bin Ladin departure has provided some space to breath to Obama to defend unpopular war against terrorism in which according to experts USA has been abating its grip. Moreover, this would be a prelude to continue drone attacks in Pakistan as the proximity of Osama Bin Ladin has provided an imputes to treat Pakistan a soul sanctuary to extremists. A severe pressure on Pakistan after an unilateral military raid by foreign troops on its soil without an ultimatum and proximity of the most wanted person who had a bounty of $25 million on his in the most restricted military area of the country. Whilst, Pakistan would earn a tag of incapable in defense, Pakistan would be prevailed with blame for being unaware of Osama Bin Ladin existence in the outskirt of capital city Islamabad. An immense pressure leading from the top stakeholders of war against terrorism would be acquiring the clarification of worlds most wanted persons availability in Pakistan as India and USA has been consistently blaming Pakistan for providing hideouts to extremists while Pakistan always rejected all these notions. Pakistan is on a deficit side where if he admits being unaware of Osama Bin Ladin presence in the country, this would postulate the complicity of intelligence agencies of the country while

acknowledgment to the proximity of Osama Bin Ladin would delineate a betrayal stance of Pakistan in war against terrorism and its soil would have been declared as terrorists heaven. Tightening the security measures would be a tough challenge for Pakistan more than it would be for USA because Pakistan is a frontline ally for USA in war against terror and Pakistan would be on frontline to receive threats from Al Qaida as retaliation to Osama Bin Ladin assassination on its soil. After the dust settles down, Pakistani reins stance would be wayward and posing enslavement with a dim protest against the violation of sovereignty of the country in contradiction to a glaring applause to USA on the killing of Osama Bin Ladin that would pose an intense humiliation. God forbid fools are not here In the light of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) scam that was proved to be just a myth against Iraq to raid on its soil for vested interests, Osama Bin Ladin raid seems to be another decisive myth architected by USA to widen its deployment over Afghanistan to Pakistan and declare Pakistan as a terror state to weaken its soul as according to the Great Game. Its just the end of an episode of Great Game in which Osama Bin Ladin has been prolifically capitalized for multiple cruel intensions as Obama was craving for a victory in war against terror to strengthen his next election campaign, defaming Pakistan and its rein military with the availability of Osama Bin Ladin in Pakistan which brings an impetus to delineate Pakistan a state hideouts to extremists. A part from Pakistan, all other stakeholders of Great Game including USA, India and Afghanistan have conceded rampantly from this scenario as India has got a clue to defame Pakistan a terror state which had been consistently recalling by India after Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were assaulted in a carnage in three different places and India blamed Pakistan spy agency ISI for backing the terror attack while Pakistan always rejected the blames. Afghanistan, who had been reportedly accusing Pakistan of destabilizing Afghanistan by aiding Afghan Taliban since the invasion of Soviet Union in Afghanistan would be delightful to strengthen its allegations as the worlds most wanted person was assassinated in the most restricted area of Pakistan. After decorating a delusive myth to earn some points seems a summit to success but it would be decided with the passage of time. Whilst, Al Qaida has been hurt, Al Qaida is not finished.
