KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 \u2014 PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said Osama bin Laden\u2019s death would not make the world safer as the United States was still terrorising Muslim states.<\/p>\nKUALA LUMPUR, May 3 \u2014 PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said Osama bin Laden\u2019s death would not make the world safer as the United States was still terrorising Muslim states.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who say the world is safer with Osama\u2019s death are being careless and simply positioning themselves as American supporters. If the world is safer with Osama\u2019s death, then is it also safer with the existence of America?\u201d he asked today.<\/p>\n
Bin Laden was killed yesterday in a firefight with US forces in Pakistan, US President Barack Obama announced this morning, who added that his body was recovered.<\/p>\n
The militant\u2019s body was later brought to Afghanistan and buried at sea.<\/p>\n
In a statement released today, Nik Aziz (picture)<\/strong> said he was not convinced that bin Laden was dead but added that his involvement in terrorism was not proven but only driven by US propaganda.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he was really involved in terrorism, then definitely I do not support it. Although Osama\u2019s involvement in terrorism still remains unverified, the involvement of the US in terrorism is already proven,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He said this was clear from the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq that has \u201cdestroyed both countries with the intention of finding weapons of mass destruction that were never found up to today.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that the US not only failed to act against Israel for its aggression against Palestine but supported the Jewish state.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Osama is considered a terrorist, then Israel is more aggressive and its backer, the US, also cannot run away from being called terrorists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Nik Aziz said that when the American Ambassador visited him on April 28, he told the diplomat that \u201cnot even a pair of slippers can be seized from its rightful owner, much less a sovereign state like Palestine, especially by Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n It has been reported that al Qaeda leaders had met in Kuala Lumpur to discuss potential attacks, and reportedly included the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people.<\/p>\n Besides September 11, Washington has also linked Osama to a string of attacks \u2014 including the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the warship USS Cole in Yemen.<\/p>\n He also said that he will pray that Allah shows mercy and forgiveness to Osama bin Laden if it is true that he was killed by United States troops.<\/p>\n The Kelantan mentri besar said that no matter how much wrong the al-Qaeda leader has done, asking forgiveness for a fellow Muslim was required in Islam.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Osama bin Laden was truly killed by United States soldiers as announced by President Barack Obama yesterday, then as a Muslim I pray the mercy and forgiveness of Allah be shown to Osama bin Laden who is a fellow Muslim,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Bin Laden\u2019s death is expected to draw retaliatory attacks from jihadists, who have vowed to avenge his death, as well as trigger attacks Western security agencies suspect may have been planned for such an eventuality.<\/p>\n Police will also increase its presence at strategic locations across the country as a precaution following news of the terrorist leader\u2019s slaying.<\/p>\n \u201cPolice have also heightened security measures in sensitive areas,\u201d police spokesman ACP Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf was quoted as saying by national news agency Bernama-MalaysianInsider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 \u2014 PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said Osama bin Laden\u2019s death would not make the world safer as the United States was still terrorising Muslim states. \u201cThose who say the world is safer with Osama\u2019s death are being careless and simply positioning themselves as American supporters.
