Bin Laden Son Likely Killed by U.S. Missile Strike

Hell hath no fury like American precision weaponry. Osama bin Laden's second-oldest son, Sa'ad bin Laden, has been reportedly killed by a U.S. missile strike in Pakistan.

It's believed he was killed by Hellfire missiles fired from a U.S. Predator drone sometime this year, according to NPR.org.

Sa'ad continued in his father's bloody footsteps by maintaining a position within Al Qaeda, and is believed to have been heavily involved in the bombing of a Tunisian synagogue in 2002. -- Read the full story from the The Long War Journal.

Thats the way things happen in war. People die. He would not have hesitated one second to kill any of us, had he gotten the opportunity. The only sad thing is the way people have preconcieved ideas about each other, which causes hate, which leads to war.
