it's easy guiltlessness to regret because it used to feel the execution of the rule of the ruben's hotel. was the milestone in the war on terror just a pre-election stun critics of the critics doubt al qaida will crumble after the death of osama bin laden but believe the timing was right to strengthen the u.s. president's political goal. news of the death of the world's top terrorist spread quickly overshadowing the nato bombing of the whole of the libyan leader and the outrage over the apparent assassination attempt. georgia's president says his country is hospitable to all but a russian a relative of an opposition leader was welcomed only by threats and violence from police. and. court summons for

a man who blew and chapman's cover throwing her to the walls along with ten other russian agents in the us during last year's transatlantic spy saga. and hearing business all prizes produce a stronger dollar an expectation that u.s. crude supplies to grow have more on the market's performance as well and i think that's a good. seven pm in moscow match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story less than two days after osama bin laden was shot dead pakistan is now caught in the crosshairs of international scrutiny servers have been baffled over how the world's most wanted terrorist managed to hide just a kilometer away from the country's military academy but it's not the only uncertainty surrounding bin laden's death which marks a major milestone in the global war on terror this thing in the tail here is the

increased risk of revenge attacks coming from al qaeda supporters and his art he's got a cheeky on reports the operation would have done barack obama's presidential aims any harm either. in modern math the great then better moment shrouded in secrecy as americans celebrated the killing of the nation's number one terrorist they had not approve of his death but the word of their president they needed to give us a big winge we can won't call it feel good but sure you can see his body we threw him in the ocean and all we did show you a fake photo according to u.s. officials american special forces killed osama bin laden in his mentioning pakistan conducted a d.n.a. test to make sure it was him and promptly got rid of the body as they put it following islamic burial tradition while the symbol of america's war on terror seems to be done with the war on terror itself is not it is death does not mark the end of our effort there is no doubt that al qaeda will continue to pursue attacks

against us we must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad the u.s. has been long chasing all cried it beyond of ghana's then borders in yemen bills of being covert drone strikes in pakistan they were overt and widely criticized for the scores of civilians killed in the attacks the question some asked now is could the success of killing bin ladin in pakistan give things us more of a carte blanche we're carrying out strikes in other countries it will be used to justify further wars greater repression at all and more acts church. conditional targeted assassinations against political opponents and this is true whether and libya and iraq and pakistan and afghanistan many analysts say merry christmas war on terror so far has been a double edged sword that involves fighting terror and provoking terror at the same

time the war waged by ally forces and led by the united states has left of ghana's then as unstable as ever the war on terror has the. a military to allow the u.s. to carry out military operations that sense two thousand and one have taken the lives of more than a million civilians. in iraq in afghanistan now in libya and of course that leads to an escalation of resistance of hatred of revenge and so in terms of keeping the american people safe that's a ridiculous notion the us has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the 1980's in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same which i hear the militants turned their weapons and training against the us among those supported by the us was also some of bin ladin whose group eventual evolved into al qaida. we.

still see him as a great. long lesson was learnt victory over evil makes great television and approval ratings well the man in charge. obama said that he had known about bin laden's whereabouts sees august last year but only last week had he given the order to take him it's been two weeks he's obama and now it's his reelection plants he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home has actually led to the president of the united states being beatified almost more than the you know the pope's you know kind of accolades to john paul this is you know obama is cashing in on this to everything for everything that it's worth and you'll notice in his speech last night he kept stressing several times i

ordered i crime as such and such and it was clearly done for you know this statement was clearly worded for political advantage and it was unity and joy over the death of these evil man americans have been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way. that had spurned them more enemies than i'm going to check now reporting the last part. with elation over bin laden's death subsiding there are questions over what his fate might mean for the world for more on this we're joined by pepe escobar a correspondent for the asia times live from brazil so mr escobar osama bin ladin a man credited with some of the most horrific acts of terrorism finally did you think the world's a safer place. well look this is very complicated because we don't know exactly what happened i read it. in december two thousand and one we have been

around the west's last seen alive by anybody any idea somebody used to be added in which a thing of were freighting against by cheats pushed through septra i believed in afghanistan fighting ok i did it or paramount and own book that absolutely horrendous been badly let there be fifty two. those that was the lowest going rate november two thousand and one when ruled very late november in early december he had already fred compassion are in pakistan the party took a deep. great then people next him and this was the last time he was seen alive is every seen that resurfaced afterwards well those leaders there too we say especially bad to be due for the two thousand and four american position complete with feet so great a thousand and two to give you an idea if everybody from the president to put was

shot for pakistan i mean because i in afghanistan israeli intelligence and do you better not the f.b.i. will be chief counterterrorist officer at the entry body was assuming there was already dead so oh yes we have access to. the d.n.a. test of course and the further scrutiny at this is that when you have been writing we don't really know what happened these past few days about the white house saying are probably going to release the photograph very soon perhaps even within a day but do you think that with the official announcement does it change anything now that the world has heard that he has to die. this doesn't change a say if you see the really of high styria especially us know where this is absolutely crazy because now there's a concerted narrative right pentagon officials cia officials and state department officials that there's going to be pretty bad by al qaeda will it can be possibly

do like ok. because i have another. who sure. do have the capability to strike another nine eleventh's style anywhere in the western world even really the news over the middle east for that matter it's a fringe organization and it's face suspicious that it's rare when you accepted the timing of this how to get it assess a nation of the united that's what it was in fact so as al qaeda as an organization itself though what you had touched on you said as our friends organization does that mean it's on its last legs does that mean it is on the verge of collapse yes absolutely and this was going to my next try to say i will claim that was defeated badly cruelly two thousand and eleven revokes will suit this is from nurse in africa to the bush and good flying to streets protesting prove a point of entry democracy for equity for pain for good treatment from the

absolutely lousy elites and fair food democratic rights that they seek it's traceable to out of you know us but not in the middle east and it is dictatorship which while it would have us by the way so ok this already defeated and. i was there with these shirts crappy care it's ok to. be way way defeated by the march of history all right we're going to leave it there a bar from the asia times thanks for your perspective. thank you. czech police have reportedly detained three russian citizens a speck of terrorist activities according to russia's foreign ministry the men are allegedly from russia's volatile north caucasus region artie's many in a coach you know about has more for us. well medina so it seems like anti-terrorist have been stepped up following bin laden's death tell us more about this. indeed is police in the czech republic to have arrested several men

suspected of terrorism and there are three russian citizens among those eight arrested now charged police sources are saying that they were forging documents and smuggling weapons as well as explosives as they were planning a terror attack now these people are also believed to have links with an islamist extremist group that is currently operating in the volatile republic of dagestan here in russia's north caucasus and according to the spokesman for the russian embassy in the truck republic three of the rest are from and august on at the moment there are being questioned and further investigation process is underway meanwhile russia's north caucasus really remains the main training ground for terrorists in the country and though this area has witnessed a number of anti terror raids in the last several weeks and dozens of militants with links to al qaeda how being wiped out including

a chief out clyde agents in the region close associates to russia's most wanted terrorist and the leader of a militant stand still in this area is really is the most volatile district in because he asked these mountains provide a convenience zone for many militants to hide and train for further terror attacks all right archies medina corrosion of ally for us in the caucasus region thanks for that report. before breaking news of bin laden's death u.s. led medo forces attacked rebel khadafi his compound despite nato claims they bombed a military target some say was an attempt to get rid of the libyan leader himself or his regular school has more. it was a death the buried under the barrage of breaking news libyan leader moammar gadhafi has twenty nine year old son and three grandchildren were reportedly killed by need to airstrike on saturday night all children were said to be under twelve years old but within twenty four hours the u.s.

associated with you know what they really want to get you know and you know. you respect. this was all a crime but of course being a libya is all or all of it complicit nato countries are committing war crimes every single day attacking civilians it's chilling signal years. the bombings the sports riots with gadhafi supporters storming the italian and british embassies and protests and some believe the coalition forces continue on their chosen course in libya the situation will go from bad to worse nato's activity is only strengthened the loyalty. he's the resolve of khadafi supporters for each bomb that's dropped on tripoli and other loyalist strongholds it's just the psychology of war anywhere when you brought in a resisting group their resolve gets stronger. and as history shows the
