The Wall Street Journal posted an essay about bin Laden titled “The Last Days of Osama bin Laden” by Peter Bergen.
Two of the main paragraphs of this essay say: “In the first weeks of 2011, Osama bin Laden was worried. For five years, he had concealed himself and his extended family—wives, children and grandchildren—in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but now it appeared that his carefully constructed hideaway was coming apart. His longtime bodyguards were two brothers, members of al Qaeda whose family originated nearby. They did everything for bin Laden, from shopping in the local markets to hand delivering his lengthy memos to other leaders of al Qaeda.”
“But bin Laden’s bodyguards had become fed up with the risks that came with protecting and serving the world’s most wanted man.”
As we see in other cases of masters of terror, Osama bin Laden in his last days was realizing that the fidelity of his bodyguards will not be forever.
History shows that the devils of humanity cannot survive hidden for a long time. And in the end, they are in a very vulnerable situation till in one or another way have terrible deaths.
