Osama bin Laden Kill Site Shrine-MUST SEE PHOTO’S

Osama bin Laden Kill Site Shrine
The site in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011 by the US military and the CIA is already a celebrated media and tourist attraction and could become a shrine to bin Laden and Al Qaeda as the most world-famous site in Pakistan. This would be a crucial closure to the vast 9/11 memorialization in the US and elsewhere, a prime portion of which remains contested at WTC for grotesque politicization and commercialization.
Like other contested historic monument sites there may be short-sighted efforts to erase the facility to prevent it becoming a shrine — as evidence of the crashed US helicopter was erased and Pakistani military and intelligence officials rush to obscure their failure to prevent the attack, or to conceal their secret complicity in it.
If bin Laden when killed continued to direct Al Qaeda, as the US government alleges, then the site may be enshrined and promoted as the headquarters of Al Qaeda in Pakistan (AQP).
