The sons of recently slain international terrorist Osama Bin
Laden have threatened to sue United States President Barack Obama over what
they see as a savage and disgraceful treatment of their father’s dead body.
Osama Bin Laden’s son, Omar, recently issued a statement to
an Internet site on behalf of his brothers, saying that Obama is responsible
for his father’s death and for what they see as the deplorable acts, which
followed the Navy SEAL operation to kill their father.
Omar stated that throwing his father’s dead body in the sea
is not only “unacceptable,” but “humiliating” to the Bin Laden family.
Omar went onto to say in his statement, “From a human point
of view it is impermissible to treat the body of a person in that manner, which
as a matter of fact hurts the feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims
around the world.”
The burial Omar is referring is in response to the United
States’ efforts to give Bin Laden a proper Muslim burial by placing his corpse
in the sea. As it turns out, however, Muslim custom states that only people who
have died at sea can be buried in the sea.
Omar bin Laden and a number of his brothers have stated that
the family is determined to resolve what they see as a desecration by any means
of the American and international justice system.
