• Without agreeing to the ways of OBL as to how he professed, believed and operated, We Omar Ossama Binladin, and my brothers, the lawful children of the Ossama Binladin (OBL) herewith demand an inquiry under UNO to reach to the accuracy of the facts as stated by United States into the fundamental question as to why our father was not arrested and tried but summarily executed without a court of law.
• A statement from Osama Bin Laden’s family • Expressing anger with the decision to kill the al-Qaeda leader without giving him the respect of a court of law. The family also is greatly upset about his burial (“His sudden and un witnessed burial at sea has deprived the family of performing religious rights of a Muslim man,” they write.) and claim not to believe that he was actually killed. “We are not convinced on the available evidence in the absence of dead body, photographs, and video evidence that our natural father is dead,” they say, while appealing for a wider investigation of what happened. No matter the nature of the man, we think the family deserves the U.S. government to respect these wishes. (via newsflick) source
