- Description
The cartoon shows the gate of the compound where Osama bin Laden was shot dead. Barbed wire is stretched along the top of the wall and on the gate is the name 'Osama bin Laden' and a letterbox with text reading 'No junk mail. Very private compound - Keep out and keep walking'. A member of the Pakistan military is being interviewed by a reporter; he says 'We couldn't be expected to know it was THE Osama bin Laden'. Context - Scepticism that Pakistani military and authorities were unaware that the man responsible for the Twin Towers terrorist attack was living in their midst. Bin Laden, 54, was killed on 1 May 2011 after a gunbattle with Navy SEALs and CIA paramilitary forces at a compound in the city of Abbottabad and was buried at sea.
