الحمد لله القائل :{ وَلَئِنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ } [آل عمران: 157]، والصلاة والسلام على نبيه الذي قال : (لوددت أني أقتل في سبيل الله ثم أحيا ثم أقتل ثم أحيا ثم أقتل)، وعلى آله وأصحابه الذين نشروا الحقَّ بعدلهم، وحفظوا الدين بنحورهم، وسكبوا لإعلائه دماءهم { فَمَا وَهَنُوا لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا } [آل عمران: 146] وعلى من سلك طريقهم وجاهد جهادهم وصبر صبرهم إلى يوم الدين. Praise be to Allaah says: {And if you are slain in the way of Allah, or die for the forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than what they hoard} [Al-Imran: 157], and peace and blessings be upon His Prophet, who said: (be good, I kill for the sake of Allah, then live and then kill and then revived, and then kill) , and his family and his companions, who reported right Badelhm, and kept the religion Bnhoarham, and poured the Ialaih blood {What did befall them in the way of Allah, they weaken nor degrade themselves} [Al-Imran: 146] and on the wire on their way and fought jihad and patience, patience to the Day of Judgement.
أما بعد : After:
ففي يومٍ تاريخيٍّ من أيام الأمة الإسلامية العظيمة، وبموقفٍ ليس ببدعٍ من مواقف أبطالها ورجالها عبْرَ عُمرها المبارك، وعلى طريقٍ ممهّدٍ سلكَه خيارُ سابقيها ولاحقيها، قُتِل الشيخُ المجاهدُ القائِدُ الزاهِد المهاجِر أبو عبد الله أسامة بن محمد بن لادن رحمه الله في موطنِ صِدقٍ صَدَّق فيه القولَ بالعمل والدعوى بالبيِّنةِ ليلحقَ بركبِ الأمة المهيبِ الذي امتدَّت مواكبه تترا بين قادةٍ عظماء، وجنودٍ أوفياء، وفرسانٍ شرفاءِ أبى فيه أن يعطي الدنيةَ في دينه، وأن يُسلِم قياده ويذلَّ لِمن ضُربت عليهم الذلة والمسكنة من المغضوب عليهم والضالينَ، فواجهَ السلاحَ بالسلاح، والقوةَ بالقوةِ، وقَبِل أن يتحدَّى جموعاً مستكبرةً خرجتْ بآلاتها وعتادها وطائراتها وحشودها بطراً ورئاء الناس، فما ضعفت أمامهم عزيمتُه ولا خارت قواه، بل وقفَ لهم وجها لوجهٍ طوداً شامخاً كما كانَ طوداً شامخاً، ولم يزل يخوضُ غمار معركةٍ قد اعتادَ أمثالها وألِف نظائرها بعد أن أعذرَ وأدى أمانتَه حتى تلقى طلقاتِ الغدر والكفر ليُسلِمَ الروحَ إلى بارئها وهو يردد : In a historic day, from the days of the Islamic nation great, and the position of not Bbda of the positions of its heroes and men across the old mosque, and on a paved road taken by the option of her predecessors and Ahakeha, killing of Sheikh Mujahid Commander Zahid Muhajir Abu Abdullah Osama bin Muhammad bin Laden, may God have mercy on him in the home of true sincerity in saying work and the case for proof to catch up with the nation's solemn extended keep up with Tetra between great leaders, and soldiers loyal, and the Knights of honest Abe when to give Aldnip in religion, and recognizes the command and humiliate those who hit them humiliation and wretchedness of anger and who have gone astray, run afoul of arms with arms, and force with force, and before to challenge the masses Mcetkbrp out Baladtha and equipment, aircraft and buildup dwellings boastfully and to be seen of men, what weakened them resolve not sapped his strength, but to stop them face to face Toda stand as it was Toda stand, not still in the midst of battle that may be used to fold a thousand analogues yet to be excused and has its secretariat until received shots of treachery and blasphemy to deliver his soul to the maker while repeating:
من يبذُلِ الروحَ الكريم لربِّه --- دفعاً لباطلهم فكيف يُلامُ Of making the Holy Spirit to the Lord --- How to ward off the falsehood blame
وليختم حياته المُنيرة بِشارةِ العزِّة التي طلبها السنينَ الطوال وجابَ الأرضَ بحثاً عنها وحرصاً عليها فتلقَّاها مستبشراً حينما أقبلتْ عليه : إنها الشهادة في سبيل الله : { وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ }[فصلت: 35]، وما برحت أصداءُ كلماته تدوِّي في الآفاق : فالسَّعيد من اتخذه الله شهيداً، ولم يكن ظنُّه ظنَّ العجز! And concludes his enlightening Gospel Glory requested by the long years and GAP land in search of the interest it Vtlqaha jubilantly declared when he turns to Him: it is the certificate in the name of Allah: {none is granted only those who are patient and is receiving only a great fortune} [separated: 35], and has echoes of his words ringing in the outlook: Valsaid taken from a witness of God, did not think he thinks the deficit!
ومن ظن ممن يلاقي الحروب --- بأن لا يصاب فقد ظن عجزا It is thought those who find wars --- that does not get the thought deficit
فهنيئاً لأمة الإسلام باستشهادِ ابنها البارّ أسامة، فبعد حياةٍ حافلةٍ بالجدِ والجهد، والعزيمة والصبر، والتحريض والجهاد، والجود والكرم، والهجرة والأسفار، والنُّصح وحسن التدبير، والحكمة والحنكة -طُوِيَ عُمُر شيخ الجهاد في هذا العصر لتبقى دماؤه وكلماتُه ومواقفه وخاتمتُه روحاً تسري في أوصال أجيال أمتنا الإسلاميةِ جيلاً بعد جيلٍ، وقد تعلَّموا منه أن الأمجادَ لا تبنى بالأماني والآمال، وأن القيادةَ ليست مناصِبَ ونياشين، والعقائدَ والمبادئ ليست مجرَّد كلماتٍ منمَّقة تلوكها الألسن، وأن الدينَ لا يُنصَرُ بفضولِ الأوقاتِ والأعمالِ والأقوال، وأن سبيل العزِّ-في الدنيا والآخرة- مفتوحٌ لِمن أراد أن يدفع ضريبته ويتحمَّل تبعته، وأن الإمامةَ في الدينِ لا تنالُ إلا بالصبر واليقينِ، وأنَّ رأس مال المرء هو الصدقُ والإخلاص. Congratulations to the Nation of Islam martyrdom of her son's bar Osama, after a lifetime of diligent effort, determination and patience, and incitement and jihad, and the generosity and kindness, and immigration, travel, advice and good governance, and the wisdom and statesmanship - Foldable Omar Sheikh Jihad in this day and age to keep his blood and his words and positions, and concludes with the spirit apply in the limbs generations our Islamic nation, generation after generation, have learned from him that the glory is not built aspirations and hopes, and that leadership is not positions and decorations, and the beliefs and principles are not just words ornate Tlokha tongues, and that religion does not supports the curious times, words and deeds, and for the good old - in the world and the Hereafter - open to those who He wanted to pay its toll and bear followed, and that the ruler in the religion does not only get the patience and certainty, and that capital one is honesty and sincerity.
فلئن تمكَّن الأمريكان من قتل أسامة، فما ذلك بالعارِ ولا الشنار، وهل تقتل الرجال والأبطال إلا في ساحات النزال، ولكلِّ أجلٍ كتاب، ولكن هل يستطيع الأمريكانِ بإعلامهم وعملائهم وآلاتهم وعساكرهم واستخباراتهم وأجهزتهم أن يُميتوا ما عاش الشيخ أسامة لأجلِه وقُتلَ في سبيله؟ For if enable the Americans to kill Osama, What then is the shame and Shunnar, it kills the men and heroes only in the arena bout, and for each book, but you Americans can tell them and their clients and their instruments and Asalm and their intelligence and their computers that Imitoa what lived Sheikh Osama for him and was killed in the process? هيهات هيهات، فالشيخ أسامة لم يبنِ تنظيماً ليموتَ بموته ويذهب بذهابِه { يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ * هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ } [الصف: 8، 9]، ستظلُّ هذه الآيات سهاماً مسددةً في نحورِ هؤلاء الصم البكم الذين لا يعقلون، وسيبقى دين الله تعالى – ومنه الجهاد في سبيل الله- قائماً دائماً تحمل عقائدَهُ قلوبٌ صافية، وتعمل لإحيائه أيدٍ طاهرة، وتدأب لتمكينه جموعٌ صادقة لا يضرهم من خالفهم ولا من خذلهم حتى يأتي وعدُ الله. Begone, Sheikh Osama did not build the organization to die with his death and goes in going {want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, though the disbelievers hate * it is Who sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, however much the idolaters} [Grade: 8.9], will remain verses arrows outstanding at the throats of those deaf mutes who do not understand, and will remain the religion of God - and from the Jihad for the sake of God - was present always carry beliefs hearts of the net, and working to revive it supported the pure, and consistently in order to enable the masses of honest does not hurt them from the pious not to let them down until he came to God's promise .
إن الشيخ أسامةَ بن لادن رحمه الله لم يكن نبياً أرسِلَ في القرن العشرين بل هو رجلٌ مسلمٌ من هذه الأمة المسلمة الكريمةِ أخذَ الكتابَ بقوةٍ وباع الدنيا بالآخرةِ وسعى لها سعيها كما نحسبه، فرفعه الله لما رفع دينه، وأعزه لما سعى لإعزاز كلمته، وأرعب به أمم الكفر كلَّها لما لم يخف إلا ربَّه، وإن الأمة التي أنجبت أسامة لأمة ولودٌ منجبة، وليأتينَّ منها من الرجالِ والأبطالِ أمثاُله وأمثاُله، ممن يستلذون التضحية ويستعذبون الصبر وينغصون عيش أعدائهم ويفتحون عليهم أبواب الجحيمِ أو يقودونهم إلى الجنةِ بالسلاسل؛ فجامعة الإيمان والقرآن والجهاد التي خرَّجت الشيخ أسامة بن لادن لم ولن توصد أبوابها، فكتابُ الله محفوظٌ وآياته تتلى آناء الليل وأطراف النهار ولن تمحى ولو اجتمع عليها من بأقطارها، كيف وأمتُنا المسلمةُ اليومَ أشدُّ إقبالا على دينها وتضحيةً من أجل عقيدتها وقوةً في مواجهة أعدائها وإدراكاً لحقيقة ما يُكاد لها، بعد أن نشأ فيها جيلٌ تقيٌّ نقيٌّ ساهم الشيخُ أسامة رحمه الله مساهمة طيبةً في غرسه مع سائر إخوانه من القادة الأبرار والدعاة الصالحين الأخيار، جيلٌ يستعلي بإيمانه ويعتزُّ بإسلامه ويحتقرُ الغربَ الكافرَ ويزدري حضارته الزائفة حضارة المجون والخنا والانحلال والدجل، جيلٌ يتخذُ مقتلَ قادته مغنماً لتوطيد ولائه للدينِ لا مغرماً ينتكسُ به على عقبيه، مردِّدين بإيمان ويقينٍ قولَ الله تعالى : { وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ * وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ * فَآتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ } [آل عمران: 146 - 148]. The sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him was not a prophet sent in the twentieth century it is a Muslim man from the Muslim Ummah precious to take the book strongly and sold the Hereafter and strives for it as as we think, Verwah God would raise his religion, and Oazza what he sought to show pride in his speech, and frightened by the United disbelief the whole of what has made ​​no secret except his Lord, but the nation that gave birth to Osama nation and Lud reproducers, and come from men and heroes like him and his ilk, who Esteldhun sacrifice and Istazbon patience and Ingson live their enemies, and conquer them the gates of hell, or lead them to heaven with chains; Jaami faith and the Koran and Islamic Jihad, which emerged Sheikh Osama bin Laden is not and will not shut the doors, recent book God Mahfouz and his signs are rehearsed the night and the parties the day and will not be erased, even if met from Boqtarha, how the Muslim Ummah today the most popular on its religion and sacrifice for the faith and strength in the face of its enemies and recognition of the fact that almost her, having grown up the generation of pious pure contributed to Sheikh Osama may God have mercy on him a good contribution in instilled with all his fellow leaders of the righteous, and advocates the righteous good guys, Jill Istali faith and proud to become Muslim, and despise the infidel West and contempt for his or her own pseudo-civilization of immorality and Alkhana and decay and hypocrisy, the generation to take the killing led booty for the consolidation of his loyalty to the religion is not fond of reversed by the heels, chanting with faith and believe God said: {And how many a Prophet fought with him Rbion many, what did befall them in the way of Allah, they weaken nor degrade themselves and Allah loves the patient * and the only words that they said: Our Lord forgive us our sins and our extravagance in our foothold victory over the disbelieving folk * God gave them the reward of the world and better reward of the Hereafter, and Allah loves the doers of good} [Al-Imran: 146-148].
ولو كان نور الإسلام والجهاد يمكن أن ينطفئَ بمقتلِ أو موتِ أحدٍ لذهبَ يوم أن مات سيِّدُ الخلقِ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وارتدَّ مَن ارتدَّ من العرب، أو لطويت صفحتُهُ يوم أن تضرَّج أمير المؤمنين عمر بدمه في محرابه، وعثمانُ عند مصحفه، وعليٌّ في طريقه رضي الله عنهم أجمعين، وكم وكم من القادة الذينَ ساروا على هديهم وقد ملئوا الأرضَ شرقاً وغرباً بذكرهم وفتوحاتهم وجهادهم فما خفَتَ نورُ الحق بمقتلهم ولا تراجع أتباعهم بغيابهم، بل ازدادوا بقتلهم غيظاً على أعدائهم وإصراراً على أخذِ ثأرهم ورايةُ الحقِّ بأيدهم وهم يتلون قولَ ربهم : { مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا } [الأحزاب: 23]. If the light of Islam and jihad can turn off the killing or the death of one of the day went to Matt Syed creation Muhammad peace be upon him and cringe from cringe from the Arabs, or wrapped up their on that spattered the faithful life of his own blood in the niche, and Osman when Msahvh, and on the way, may God bless them all, how much and how many of the leaders who followed in the way of life has been filled the land east and west beings and their conquests and their struggle, what eased the light of truth latest deaths and no reverse their followers absences, but increasing in killing fury on their enemies, and a determination to take their revenge and the banner of the right to their hands, they recite the words of their Lord: {of the believers are men true to their covenant with Allah, some have died and some of them are still waiting;} [Ahzab: 23].
ومن هذا المنطلَق فإننا في تنظيم قاعدة الجهاد نعاهد الله سبحانه – ونسأله العون والتأييد والتثبيت– على المضيّ على طريق الجهادِ الذي سار عليه قادتُنا وعلى رأسهم الشيخ أسامة، غيرَ متوانين ولا مترددين، ولن نحيدَ عن ذلك أو نميل حتى يحكم الله بيننا وبين عدونا بالحقِّ وهو خير الحاكمين، ولا يضرُّنا بعد ذلكَ أن نرى النصرَ والظفر وندرك الفتحَ والتمكين أو نهلك دونَ ذلك : { فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يَشْرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ يُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا } [النساء: 74]. In this context we in al Qaeda promise God Almighty - and we ask help and support and installation - to continue on the path of jihad, who walked by our leaders, led by Sheikh Osama, but Mtoanin not reluctant, and will not deviate from it or we tend to judge God between us and the enemy the right to a Best of Judges, not bad for us then to see the victory and nail and are aware of the opening and empowerment or perish without it: {Vliqatl for the sake of God those who Icheron life of the world and the Hereafter fight in the way of Allah being killed or more will give him a great reward} [women: 74].
كما أننا نؤكد أن دماء الشيخ المجاهد أسامة بن لادن رحمه الله أثقل وأغلى عندنا وعند كل مسلمٍ من أن تذهب سُدىً، وستبقى بإذن الله تعالى لعنةً تطارِد الأمريكان وعملاءهم وتلاحقُهم خارجَ وداخلَ بلادهم، وعما قريبٍ –بعونِ الله- لتنقلبنَّ أفراحُهم أحزانا، ولتختلطنَّ دماؤهم بدموعهم، ولنُبِرَّنَّ قسمَ الشيخ أسامة رحمه الله : فلن تنعم أمريكا ولا مَن يعيش في أمريكا بالأمان حتى ينعمَ به أهلنا في فلسطين، وسيستمر جنود الإسلام جماعاتٍ ووحدانا يدبِّرون ويخطّطون بغير كلل ولا ملل ولا يأسٍ ولا استسلامٍ ولا خورٍ ولا فتورٍ حتى تُرموا منهم بداهيةٍ تُشيبُ الطفلَ من قبلِ المشيبِ.! We also stress that the blood of the mujahid sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him heavier and more expensive in our view and when every Muslim to go in vain, and will remain, God willing, the curse of chasing the Americans and their agents and pursued inside and outside their country, and soon - with God's help - to Tnqbann happiness sorrow, but Takhttun blood Bdmuahm, and Nbern Section Sheikh Osama may God have mercy on him: you will not enjoy the American nor live in America safe so enjoy it, our people in Palestine, and will continue to be soldiers of Islam groups and masse plot and plan without fatigue or boredom and despair, no surrender, no creek or chill until Termua them guy, Chip child by Almsheeb.!
وإننا ندعو شعبنا المسلم في باكستان الذين قتل الشيخ أسامة على أرضهم أن يهبّوا ويثوروا لغسل هذا العار الذي ألحقه بهم شرذمة من الخونة واللصوص ممن باعوا كلَّ شيءٍ لأعداء الأمة، واستخفّوا بمشاعر هذا الشعب الكريم المجاهد، وأن ينتفضوا انتفاضةً قويةً عامةً لتطهير بلادهم (باكستان) من برجس الأمريكان الذين عاثوا فيها فساداً { إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ } [الرعد: 11]. We call upon the Muslim people in Pakistan who killed Sheikh Osama on the land to rise up and rise up to wash this shame that caused them a handful of traitors and thieves who have sold everything to the enemies of the nation, and disregarded the feelings of this people, decent fighter, and to rise up uprising strong public to clean up their country (Pakistan) Burgess Americans who have wreaked havoc in {Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves} [Thunder: 11].
هذا وقد أبي الشيخ أن يرحل عن هذه الدنيا قبل أن يشارك أمته الإسلامية أفراحها بثوراتها التي انتفضت بها في وجه الظلم والظالمين وسجل لها رحمه الله كلمة صوتية قبل مقتله بأسبوع واحدٍ ضمّنها تهنئةً ونصائحَ وتوجيهاتٍ، سننشُرُها قريبا بإذن الله، وختمها بهذه الأبيات : This was my father Sheikh to leave this world before taking part nation Islamic joys Bthoradtha, which has risen in the face of injustice and wrong and record them God's mercy sound word before his death one week, including greetings, advice and guidance, we will publish soon, God willing, and stamped with these verses:

فقول الحق للطاغي --- هو العز هو البشرى Stop right to Taghi --- is the splendor is human
هو الدربُ إلى الدنيا --- هو الدربُ إلى الأخرى Is the path to the world --- is the path to the other
فإن شئتَ فمتْ عبداً --- وإن شئتَ فمت حرّا Fmt you want the slave --- and if you wish Fmt free
ثم إننا نحذّرُ الأمريكان من أي مساسٍ بجثمانِ الشيخ رحمه الله أو تعرّضٍ بمعاملة غير لائقة له أو لأي أحدٍ من عائلته الكرام حيّهم وقتيلهم، وأن تُسلَّم الجثامين إلى أهلها، وإلا فإن أية إساءة ستفتح عليكم أبواباً مضاعفةً من الشرّ لا تلومون معها إلا أنفسكم. Moreover, we warn the Americans of any prejudice to the corpse of Sheikh God's mercy or exposure to the treatment of Inappropriate him or any one of the family honored their neighborhood and Guetilhm, and to recognize the bodies to the people, otherwise, any ill-will open you doors to double from evil do not blame them but yourselves. وندعو المسلمين كافةً إلى القيام بواجبهم في فرضِ هذا الحق. We call on all Muslims to do their duty to enforce this right.

ولله الأمرُ من قبلُ ومن بعد، وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أيَّ منقلبٍ ينقلبون. And God is before and after, and will teach those who wronged any turning.
والحمد لله رب العالمين، وصلى الله على نبينا محمدٍ وآله وسلم تسليما كثيراً. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family peace and recognition of a lot.

Bin Laden’s death: new organization, leadership emerges

Johann Hari: The real meaning of Bin Laden's death

Scramble the film backwards. Rewind. Go back to the day 10 years ago when the air here in Manhattan was thick with ash and Osama bin Laden was gloating. There were two options for the US government – to pick up a scalpel, or to pick up a blowtorch. With the scalpel, you go after the fundamentalist murderers responsible with patient policing and intelligence work, and steadily drain them of their support. With the blowtorch, you invade a slew of countries and embark on slaughter and torture, and swell the army of enraged jihadis determined to kill. History branched in two possible directions that day.
We know which Osama bin Laden preferred. He wanted to draw the West into endless bloody wars that haemorrhaged billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives. He told his supporters: "We conducted a war of attrition against Russia for 10 years until they went bankrupt. We are continuing in the same policy, to make America bleed profusely to the point of bankruptcy." To achieve this, "all we have to do is send two mujahideen [to a remote, irrelevant area] and raise a piece of cloth on which is written "al-Qa'ida" in order to make the [US] generals race there, to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses." He knew that every ramped-up attack would appear to vindicate his narrative about the "evil" West waging "war on Islam", and swell his army of recruits. 
When Bin Laden's favourite son, Omar, defected, he told many unflattering stories about his father – including that he tortured his pets to death. So it's highly unlikely to be a double bluff when he explained that the day George W Bush was elected, "my father was so happy. This is the kind of president he needs, one who will attack and spend money and break [his own] country".
The West reacted to 9/11 by giving Bin Laden precisely what he wanted. We tossed aside our best values, making them seem a hollow charade. And each time we did it, the number of jihadis grew. Studies by terrorism experts Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank found that the invasion of Iraq, and the torture used there, caused a seven-fold increase in global jihadism...

A tragicomedy: when one man's death becomes another man's punchline

Assange right to slam Swedish courts: lawyers

    Nearly one third of lawyers in Sweden, including best-selling author and lawyer Jens Lapidus, believe that criticism directed at the country's legal system by WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange is warranted, according to a new survey.
    "He is partially right about the Swedish legal system," writes Lapidus, a defence attorney and author of the best selling 2006 crime novel "Snabba Cash" ('Easy Money'), along with prominent defence lawyer Johan Åkermark, in an article published on Thursday in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper.
     The authors reference a study published in Legally Yours, a trade publication for the legal profession in Sweden, which surveyed 9,000 lawyers.The survey, known as the Juristbarometern, revealed that 31.9 percent of lawyers answered yes when asked if they agreed with Assange's criticism of the Swedish legal system.
    According to Lapidus and Åkermark, both of whom are partners in the same law firm as Assange's Swedish attorney Björn Hurtig, the WikiLeaks' founder is justified in taking issue with several aspects of the Swedish criminal justice system.
    Writing in DN, the two lawyers explain that Assange is warranted in questioning Sweden's rules on remanding suspects in custody, which often prevent defence attorneys from having a chance to review material used as the basis for remand decisions until minutes before prosecutors present the evidence to a judge.
    "We're of the opinion that remand in Sweden is used in a way that many other states governed by the rule of law would find unfamiliar," they write.
    Speaking to Legally Yours, Hurtig said the statistics cited by Lapidus and Åkermark show that "mistrust of our legal system is greater than many believe".
    "The system is built up so that, in principal, the suspect doesn't have any insight into the preliminary investigation," he said.
    In addition, Lapidus and Åkermark share Assange's concerns about having lay judges, many of whom are retired politicians rather than trained legal professionals, preside over trials in Swedish courtrooms.
    Also problematic for Assange is the possibility that, were he ever to face trial in Sweden, it would likely be held behind closed doors, a common practices when it comes to sex crime cases in Sweden.
    While Lapidus and Åkermark admitted they didn't have any statistics on closed-door trials, "our impression is that proceedings are held behind closed doors more often in Sweden in many other states governed by the rule of law".
    The authors are quick to point out, however that "Sweden has is a well functioning state based on the rule of law and in many respects is a model internationally".
    Lapidus and Åkermark emphasise that, while they "don't care specifically about Julian Assange" or the question of his innocence or guilt, they feel a responsibility to "remove the stains that exist in our system" which Assange's criticism has highlighted.
    In February, a London court ruled that Assange could be extradited to Sweden to face questioning over sex crimes allegations stemming an August 2010 visit to Sweden by the WikiLeaks founder.
    Assange's lawyers appealed the ruling in early March and his appeal is scheduled to be heard on July 12th.

    GOP presidential candidate Gary Johnson says:

    So going back to 1999, I came to the conclusion… that 90% of the drug problem is prohibition-related, not use-related. That’s not to discount the problems with use and abuse, but that ought to be the focus. So in 1999, I advocated then, I advocate it now. Legalize marijuana. Control it, regulate it, tax it.It’s never going to be legal to smoke pot, become impaired, get behind the wheel of a car, do harm to others. It’s never going to be legal for kids to smoke pot or buy pot. And under which scenario is it going to be easier for kids to smoke pot or buy pot? The situation that exists today, where it’s virtually available anywhere, and the person that sells pot also sells harder drugs? Or a situation where to purchase it, you would have to produce an ID in a controlled environment, like alcohol, to be able to buy it. I think you can make the case that it would be harder to buy it, in that controlled environment.

    Ahmadinejad allies charged with sorcery

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, who is described as 'the actual president of Iran' by allies of the country's supreme leader.
    Close allies of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to further his policies amid an increasingly bitter power struggle between him and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
    Several people said to be close to the president and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, have been arrested in recent days and charged with being "magicians" and invoking djinns (spirits).
    Ayandeh, an Iranian news website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds".
    The arrests come amid a growing rift between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei which has prompted several MPs to call for the president to be impeached.
    On Sunday, Ahmadinejad returned to his office after an 11-day walkout in an apparent protest over Khamenei's reinstatement of the intelligence minister, who the president had initiallyasked to resign.
    Ahmadinejad's unprecedented disobedience prompted harsh criticism from conservatives who warned that he might face the fate of Abdulhassan Banisadr, Iran's first post-revolution president who was impeached and exiled for allegedly attempting to undermine clerical power.
    Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, a hardline cleric close to Khamenei, warned that disobeying the supreme leader – who has the ultimate power in Iran – is equivalent to "apostasy from God".
    Ahmadinejad has so far declined to officially back Khamenei's ruling over Heydar Moslehi, the minister at the centre of the row. In the first cabinet meeting since the president returned, Moslehi was absent.
    Khamenei's supporters believe that the top-level confrontation stems from the increasing influence of Mashaei, an opponent of greater involvement of clerics in politics, who is being groomed by Ahmadinejad as a possible successor.
    But the feud has taken a metaphysical turn following the release of an Iranian documentary alleging the imminent return of the Hidden Imam Mahdi – the revered saviour of Shia Islam, whose reappearance is anticipated by believers in a manner comparable to that with which Christian fundamentalists anticipate the second coming of Jesus.
    Conservative clerics, who say that the Mahdi's return cannot be predicted, have accused a "deviant current" within the president's inner circle, including Mashaei, of being responsible for the film.
    Ahmadinejad's obsession with the hidden imam is well known. He often refers to him in his speeches and in 2009 said that he had documentary evidence that the US was trying to prevent Mahdi's return.
    Since Ahmadinejad's return this week, at least 25 people, who are believed to be close to Mashaei, have been arrested. Among them is Abbas Amirifar, head of the government's cultural committee and some journalists of Mashaei's recently launched newspaper, Haft-e-Sobh.
    On Saturday, Mojtaba Zolnour, Khamenei's deputy representative in the powerful Revolutionary Guard, said: "Today Mashaei is the actual president. Mr Ahmadinejad has held on to a decaying rope by relying on Mashaei."

    Russian icebreaker springs nuclear leak

    Russia has launched an urgent rescue mission after one its its atom-powered icebreakers developed a nuclear leak in the frozen seas of the Arctic and was forced to abandon its mission.
    The Rosatomflot nuclear fleet said in a statement that "insignificant increase in activity" had been reported on board its Taimyr icebreaker.
    But the incident was serious enough to force the mammoth vessel to abandon its mission and try to track its way back to port in the north-west city of Murmansk.
    "What we are most concerned about right now is movement along the waterways," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted top Rosatomflot official Andrei Smirnov as saying.
    The fleet official said another icebreaker was being dispatched to the region to help the vessel's journey back to port.
    The incident was reported in the Kara Sea - a part of the Arctic Ocean that rests about 2,000 kilometres east of Norway's border.
    Officials said the increased levels of radiation were initially reported in an the air ventilation system surrounding the nuclear reactor core.
    They added that radiation levels remained normal outside the outer protecting covering.
    But other details - including how many people were on board the ship - remained unclear and one part of the Russian statement suggested that officials were looking into the possibility of the situation becoming more serious.
    "If the situation deteriorates, the reactor system will be shut down and the cooling process will begin," Mr Rosatomflot said.
    He stressed that the seriousness of the event at the moment could be registered as a zero on the seven-point International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale - a level officially defined as "bearing no safety significance".
    The Arctic sea accident revived memories of the Kursk nuclear submarine disaster that claimed the lives of 118 Russian sailors in August 2000.
    Russian officials were painfully slow to acknowledge the scale of that disaster and state television only began devoting full attention to it nearly 48 hours after the Kursk blasts went off.
    No information about the nuclear leak had appeared on Russian state television within three hours of the initial report.

    Quietus Mix 26: Aidan Moffat's Midnight Mix


    Aidan Moffat has given us just one instruction for his Quietus mix: 'My only recommendation is that you listen to it between midnight and 1am only.' Now, we're going to have to break this command, because for most right-minded people this is far too rousing, mentally stimulating a beast not to deeply challenge any trip into the land of nod. Perhaps Glen Branca, Aphex Twin and Moondog were what Aidan liked to listen to as he wrote his excellent Uncle Agony Sex Advice column for the Quietus? And no doubt his love of Bill Wells inspired their forthcoming joint album, while Moondog, Mulatu Astatke, John Barry and Fridge could soundtrack the bearded Scot heading to the er, fridge at midnight to pop open a final ale. The Quietus was lucky enough to see Aidan Moffat play at the very strange Dazed festival a few weeks ago; accompanied by only an Autoharp and a cold, he played a selection of songs new and old (including Arab Strap material) to a room of swooning young girls, and fashion crone Pam Hogg. Moffat, one of the finest lyricists in contemporary British music, should surely be set forth on a tour of the mustier British folk clubs to show them how music both rambunctious and thoughtfully honest should be done. Listen to the mix below. Aidan Moffat's album with Bill Wells, Everything's Getting Older, is out on Monday.
