- Description
A United States naval vessel has just dropped terrorist leader Osama bin Laden overboard and the wrapped body is of great interest to dozens of huge fish. Someone on the ship says '72 virgins, 72 sturgeons - What's the difference?' Context - Osama bin Laden, 54, was killed after a gunbattle with Navy SEALs and CIA paramilitary forces at a compound in the city of Abbottabad and was buried at sea. Osama bin Laden was behind Twin Towers attack 9/11/2001 which killed nearly 3000 people, including the 19 hijackers. President Obama says 'Justice has been done'. A commonly cited reward for Muslims who sacrifice themselves for their beliefs is that 72 virgins will be awaiting them in paradise.
