US raid on Osama, election propaganda
IRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the United
States killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden as part of its propaganda
to secure victory in the next US presidential election. The US killed
bin Laden not to fight terrorism and not to eradicate groups it claims
as terrorist but as [part of] its election propaganda to win people's
votes in the election, said President Ahmadinejad in a meeting with
participants in the International Conference on Global Alliance against
Terrorism for a Just Peace (GAATJP) in the capital Tehran on Sunday.
The Iranian chief executive added that he has precise information"
that bin Laden was being held by US military for a long time before his
death, IRNA reported. Former US president [George W. Bush] attacked our
region to save the country's economy and win the votes. He killed one
million people and his successor [Barack Obama] pursues the same
strategy, he pointed out. President Ahmadinejad noted that the arrogant
system is in decline and said, No change will be made in the unfair
global order through the change of puppets.
He emphasized that the United States and Israel would collapse and
justice would be established in the world. US President Barack Obama
claimed that bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 1 in a hiding
compound in Pakistan. A US official later announced that bin Laden's
body was abruptly buried at sea, falsely boasting that his hasty burial
was in accordance with the Islamic law, requiring burial within 24 hours
of death. However, burial at sea is not an Islamic practice and Islam
does not have a decree on a burial timeframe, he said.
