Georgetown : The ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) says the death of Osama Bin Laden is a great blow to International terrorism. Bin Laden who was the most wanted man for over a decade met his end when United States forces attacked a compound where he was hiding in Pakistan.
Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network which he headed admitted responsibility for the brutal attack in the US on September 11, 2001 in which some three thousand persons perished, including many Guyanese and Muslims.
Now that Bin Laden is gone, it is the hope of the PPP/C that the conditions which gave rise to such people and organizations would be removed.
The party says, the fight against oppression, poverty and recognizing the cultural plurality/diversity around the world are important to ensure that the breeding grounds of terrorism are eliminated.
The death of Bin Laden is another example to the world that terrorism is not a mechanism that can bring about any positive changes in society and should never be used as a means of struggle.
