We sent troops to Afghanistan to bring down Osama bin Laden and the other al-Qaeda members, as well as helping the nation build a democratic leadership.

Death of Osama bin Laden: Effect on Al-Qaeda by Student’s name Code+ course name Professor’s name University name City, State Date Death of Osama bin Laden: Effect on Al-Qaeda INTRODUCTION After the U.S. commandos hunted down and killed Osama bin Laden, they still had to search for any vital document that had information relating to the future attacks and generally the entire plan of the al-Qaida group. For roughly 20 minutes, the Navy SEAL Team Six ransacked bin Laden's compound in Pakistan's city of Abbottabad, collecting what came to be described as a library of great intelligence on the inner dealings of the outlawed al-Qaida terror group.

The entire incident has shaken the global legal community; dividing it into two namely those who feel the U.S. Government was justified in killing or assassinating bin Laden and those who feel the U.S. Government may have overstepped the legitimacy of its action and violated international and human rights law. This controversy depends upon the argument of whether bin Laden can be classified as an enemy combatant or not.

Pakistan's first official statement about the operation acknowledged that the raid was a U.S. operation but did not elaborate.
