Dutch men attempt to file case against Obama over Osama’s ‘murder’
Tags:
Two Dutch men have reportedly attempted to file a case against United States President Barack Obama for the ‘murder’ of Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden in their local police station in Tilburg, Netherlands.
According to The Telegraph, Ruud Snoeren and Terry Flohr accused Obama of ‘perpetrating’ a crime by ordering the Special Forces raid that led to bin Laden’s death on Sunday.
Tilburg police refused to accept the case, but did make a note of the complaint.
They also referred the men to an international war crimes court based in The Hague.
“We have had a conversation and registered it. It is not that we do not take the case seriously, but this is not something for Tilburg police. We are not going to commit police resources on this,” a Tilburg police spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Snoeren and Flohr said they are extremely angry at the way the killing is being celebrated.
“We are very angry. There is a murderer who has admitted the deed on television and who dumped the evidence at sea. And the whole world is celebrating,” Snoeren said.
The pair denied that they were defending bin Laden and insisted that the Al-Qaeda leader should have been captured to be put on trial.
Bin Laden, who had evaded capture for a decade, was killed in a top secret operation involving a small team of US Special Forces in Pakistan’s Abbottabad city.
The Saudi-born terrorist, accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, was at the top of the US ‘most wanted’ list.
