DUSHANBE, May 4, 2011, Asia-Plus -- International media outlets report the United Nations Security Council agreed a rare statement in which it hailed the death of any person.
The United Nations news center reports that the 15-nation UN Security Council issued a statement welcoming the news “that Osama bin Laden will never again be able to perpetrate such acts of terrorism.”
Highlighting the September 11, 2001 attacks and others staged by Al-Qaeda, the council said it “welcomes the news on May 1, 2011 that Osama bin Laden will never again be able to perpetrate such acts of terrorism.”
"The Security Council recognizes this critical development and other accomplishments made in the fight against terrorism and urges all states to remain vigilant and intensify their efforts in the fight against terrorism," the statement said.
Bin Laden, who was killed Sunday in a US military operation in Pakistan, was one of the few terrorist leaders to be named in any Security Council resolution.
The council called for increased cooperation among countries to urgently “bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of terrorist attacks.”
