1718: Bin Laden was buried at sea because no country was available to accept his body, US defence officials tell Reuters news agency.

Apart from that and some religious thing, I have no idea.

Stephen!

It was also because they didn't want Americans or other people getting hands on the body.

Yeah, you may hate him for all of the things he's done, but it's not as if it's going to bring back any of the loved one's people have lost. It may make you feel better but it doesn't make me any better, considering there are more people out there. It may just be me, but I don't think deaths are there to be celebrated - it only makes you at least 0.01% safer from the al-Qaeda group. And yes, before you say, I have lost somebody I loved in the 9/11 attack. I'm not saying it was bad to kill him, but even though he killed all of those people, I think it's disrespectful to celebrate over the death of someone.

Just because Osama bin Laden is dead, does not make you win in the war of terror. Osama was just the one who claimed responsibility for September 11, no one knows whether or not he was in fact the leader or if there are higher ranking people in Al Qaeda. But let’s assume that he is and see what will happen. Oh thats right a successor will take his place. What a surprise!! In fact experts are already saying that Ayman al-Zawahri will take command almost immediately. So you have not won! Yes it was a good thing to do but we (Australia is/was [depending on where the battle is] fighting with America) are not approaching this in the right way. I don’t know what the “right” way is but I know that what we are doing now just isn’t working.

I think Lord Tebbit is spot on, why are politicians such as David Cameron and Ed Miliband celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden when they are quite happy to allow Sinn Fein and the IRA into permanent government in Northern Ireland? the IRA remains more of a threat and caused much more damage to the United Kingdom as opposed to Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban.. so why is the death of one terrorist fantastic (which it is), but the terrorists closer to home aren't just alive - they are in government.

The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary have been unequivocal in their support of the assassination of bin Laden. They are equally unequivocal in refusing to contemplate the execution of terrorists here. For them the death penalty is out of question except when carried out by US Special Forces outside the United States, or possibly in Libya against Qaddafi.

Why do Sinn Fein/the IRA not face the hangmans noose/a bullet into the head?

Hold on a minute,

You do not seriously believe the following, which you quoted:

I doubt it that they are able to create nuclear bombs with ease. They would of used them by now for sure! Oh and why would they just go for Europe? It's the US's operation so why not plant many of these so called "nuclear bombs" all around the US. I'm sure that would make them very happy wouldn't it? I can't believe what some people post on the internet, what a load of ********.

Anyone who believes that Nuclear Bomb thing is an imbecile. Do you think they just carried it in and hid it in Europe? Believable.

The body had to be buried withing a certain timeframe a believe.

Since they didn't want a "shrine" to be created they buried him at sea at an unexact location.

You are ridiculously naive. People are celebrating a symbolic victory. They have every right to celebrate the death of a tyrant - as our ancestors celebrated the death of Hitler.

And I doubt that they would've "hidden" a nuclear bomb in Europe A) They would just use it against us, no need for a reason, and B) They'd probably use it against America - not Europe, because Europe has countries that are not involved (Switzerland & several eastern european countries) and America started the war. And there's no way they could get it into the USA - and certainly not the UK (although Europe does have open borders so it could get through from Eastern Europe). Plus, how would they get the bomb? It's not like everyone has one lying around.

And a decent nuclear bomb is not exactly going to be easy to sneak in to a country lol
