WORLD ECONOMY CHANGED FOR DEATH OF LADEN

Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?It is important to understand just how Bin Laden's death in 1 May will affect the budget practices of everyday Americans. More than ever, Americans need to budget for their daily lives, especially gas and food prices rise and wages remain stagnant or even declined.
According to William Alden his Huffington Post article: Bin Laden's death gives boost market optimism Eases Fear Of Recession, Bin Laden's death have been a tonic for the global markets and fears of recession will help, but this is good news during this period of economic stress.
There is no doubt that bin Laden's death, spent at least gross optimism throughout the global markets, the perception that it is now safer to do business. Indeed, terrorist activity, most likely, will not decrease, but the perception is nine-tenths of the law and people are looking more positive financial outlook over the past few years.
Now, when this hope is made real in accordance with Bin Laden's death, American companies seeking to invest abroad in countries such as Turkey, with a lower cost to do business and thus promote the growth of jobs in the United States, including the highly-skilled jobs, such as remote management, professional or project management. Eventually, I hope, is that bin Laden's death will eventually reduce the rising gas prices caused by fears of terrorism, and that can only make the budget easier to everyday Americans.
The Americans hope to get the most out of your life after the death of Bin Laden, travel, spending and investing. It just comes to how well they want to manage their money. Do they spend recklessly in the previous year, or the American (fresh from the war and a recession), the production would be seriously considered in the budget, to improve themselves toward better manage their money in mind?
With the death of Bin Laden, we could be sitting on a source of economic recovery, and that is why you must consider the budget guidelines for the maximum benefit from their hard-earned dollars. While everyone knows that the budget framework, with good information in one place, is the key to a budget simple and fun. In addition, having regard to the principles of the budget is very important to maintain the positive momentum. Arm yourself with your budget information that you need so you can get from the freedoms of our armed forces fight for the best.

ABOUT BIN LADEN

Osama Bin Laden
Who was Osama Bin Laden, if not the recently apprehended and dispatched most-wanted man in the world?
After a decade, the world's most-wanted terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, was found and killed by Navy Seals and buried at sea.
Most Americans certainly knew him as the leader of Al Qaeda, as the designer of the greatest act of terrorism ever perpetrated on the United States, but less is known about his background and what lead him to the Taliban and his profound hatred for America. (Although, in light of his repeated criticism of Western Culture, it's more than a little hypocritical that he had cases of Pepsi and Nestle products delivered to the Abbottabad, Pakistan compound where he was living for the last six years.)
At any rate, the banked obits (newspapers have files of pre-written obituaries for persons whose deaths will be announced or covered) provide plenty of curious and odd information regarding Bin Laden. In fact, Michael T. Kaufman, the reporter who wrote the bulk of this terrorists obituary for the New York Times (which for this purpose, will be the newspaper of record), died last year. Two other reporters updated it.
It was Osama's goal to recreate a seventh-century Muslim empire, but through radical and violent means, which go against the tenants of Islam; an Islamic edict is clearly against killing innocents and civilians. Even though he declared and waged a holy war against the world, Islam clearly delineates where and when jihad (holy war) can be claimed.
Bin Laden's upbringing is likely to seem strange to most Westerners. His father, Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, was a poor and uneducated Yemeni immigrant who moved to Saudi Arabia before World War I. He worked as a porter until 1930, when he started his own construction company. Osama's father ingratiated himself to Saudi royalty when he underbid other builders. He continued his business relationship with the royals, to the point of where the Saudi leaders decreed that all construction go to his company. He was subsequently dubbed the richest non-royal in Saudi Arabia.
He was married 22 times, but only had four wives at a time (divorcing the older, marrying younger). He and his tenth wife Hamida al-Attas had only one child (his 17th), Osama Bin Laden.
Osama had more than 50 siblings. His mother, al-Attas, was Syrian, and wasn't looked at favorably by the other wives and the social circles her husband ran in. Osama was half-Yemeni and half-Syrian, and his father's other wives and their family and friends referred to him, says the New York Times, as "the slave child," and his mother, as "the slave wife." Al-Attas handled being ostracized, by often berating her son. His father divorced his mother shortly after he was born, and recommended her to an associate. Al-Attas married the business associate had three sons and a daughter with him, giving Bin Laden even more half-siblings.
In 1967, his father, now a billionaire, was on his was to his 23rd wedding when his private plane crashed. His 54 children inherited his estate and monies. Osama, it's believed, was the only one of his siblings who had not traveled outside of the Middle East.
Starting when he was 17, Bin Laden eventually married six women and had between 20 to 26 children with them. Although he was often reported as being 6"4, interviewer Lawrence Wright, staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, said that while Bin Laden was indeed quite thin, he wasn't that tall.
He was also reputed to appear mild-mannered and soft-spoken. Bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan on 2 May 2011.

LADEN DEAD CONFIRMED BY AL-QAEDA

The statement said his blood would not be "wasted" and al-Qaeda would continue to attack the US and its allies.

Bin Laden's death would be a "curse" for the US and urged an uprising in Pakistan, the statement added.

The militant was shot dead on Monday when US commandos stormed his compound in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad.

The covert raid was carried out without the prior knowledge of the Pakistani authorities, increasing tension between the two countries.

Several rallies were held in Pakistan on Friday in protest.
'Revolt'

The statement published on jihadist web forums, signed by "the general leadership" of al-Qaeda, said an audiotape would be released of Bin Laden speaking a week before his death.

"[His blood] will remain, with permission from Allah, the Almighty, a curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries," it warned.

The release of a statement from "the general leadership" of al-Qaeda may do something to undermine the conspiracy theories circulating in some quarters that Osama Bin Laden is not dead.

However, there will no doubt be some for whom even this will not be enough, who will argue it is not definitive proof.

The message is also a means for al-Qaeda to stress that it remains in business and is committed to continuing its former leader's work.

The US is attempting to exploit the death of Bin Laden to undermine the organisation. It is using intelligence retrieved from his compound to go after others, and trying to undermine the mythology surrounding the al-Qaeda leader to weaken the morale of his supporters.

The statement also opens the way for al-Qaeda to name a successor. Ayman al-Zawahiri is one possibility although he is believed to be a divisive figure.

"Their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their blood will be mixed with their tears. We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan, on whose land Sheikh Osama was killed, to rise up and revolt.

"Before the sheikh passed from this world and before he could share with the Islamic nation in its joys over its revolutions in the face of the oppressors, he recorded a voice recording of congratulations and advice which we will publish soon, God willing."

Although US forces buried Bin Laden's body at sea, the statement warned the US that "multiple gates of evil" would be opened on them if they failed to hand over the corpse to his family. It incited Muslims to take action should the Americans mistreat the body or any of his captive family members.

It acknowledged the US was responsible for his death, and also noted that he had been killed by "treacherous infidel bullets".

The statement attracted a high number of online comments, all of which seemed to accept the death of Bin Laden as fact.

Correspondents say this contrasts starkly with the scepticism that followed President Obama's announcement on Monday of the al-Qaeda leader's death. The scepticism had led to calls for the US to release pictures of his corpse - a move resisted by President Obama.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said it was "aware" of the statement.

"What it does is acknowledge the obvious, which is that Osama Bin Laden was killed by US forces," he said.

"We are quite aware of the potential for [militant] activity and are highly vigilant on that matter for that reason."

Earlier, Pakistani Islamist groups, led by the Jamaat-e-Islami, denounced the US military operation in Abbottabad as a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty.

They were also critical of Pakistan's government for allowing the commando operation to happen, although officials deny they were told.

Hundreds of people gathered in central Abbottabad following Friday prayers. They burned tyres, blocked a main road and shouted "down, down USA!" and "USA terrorist".

Anti-American sentiment also appeared to be high at a similar protest in the south-western city of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.

However, a BBC correspondent in Rawalpindi says the anti-US protest there was much smaller than expected with about 50 people turning up.

Monday's helicopter-borne raid by US special forces has further strained relations between the US and Pakistan.

On Thursday, Pakistani military leaders warned they would review co-operation with the US if there were any more unilateral raids.

Officials also admitted "shortcomings" for failing to locate Bin Laden in a compound about 1km from the Pakistan Military Academy, and said an investigation would be launched.

Meanwhile, reports from the US says documents found at the compound suggest Bin Laden was planning further attacks on the US, including on the 10th anniversary of 11 September 2001.

One plan was to target a US rail route, officials said, although no imminent threat was detected.

Officials are examining computers, DVDs, hard-drives and documents seized from the compound where Bin Laden is believed to have been hiding for about six years.

One of Bin Laden's wives being interrogated by Pakistani security officials said she had never left the upper floors of the compound the entire time she was there.

She and Bin Laden's other two wives were taken into custody following Monday's raid. Pakistani authorities are also holding eight or nine children who were found there.

WAR WILL BE DIE FOR L ADEN

At Fort Stewart, Ga., soldiers gathered near the front gate, and bin Laden's death was on their mind.
"It's good that he's dead," said Pfc. Caleb Kinlaw, a 20-year-old Army infantryman. "If you went through all this time and he was still living and causing trouble, it would seem like a waste. Now with bin Laden being out of the way, you feel like you accomplished something."
