The announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden, killed during an operation of U.S. Special Forces in a compound in the city of Abottabad in Pakistan, has led to scenes of celebration and claims that “justice has been done.”
For Pax Christi International, the death of bin Laden is an occasion for deep reflection – on the past, present and future: can we make this moment a turning point towards peace and mutual understanding after a decade of violence and vengeance?
