The Most Wanted Face of Terrorism / La cara más buscada del terrorismo

Osama bin Laden, who was killed in Pakistan on Monday, was a son of the Saudi elite whose radical, violent campaign to recreate a seventh-century Muslim empire redefined the threat of terrorism for the 21st century.

With the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, Bin Laden was elevated to the realm of evil in the American imagination once reserved for dictators like Hitler and Stalin. He was a new national enemy, his face on wanted posters. He gloated on videotapes, taunting the United States and Western civilization.

“Do you want Bin Laden dead?” a reporter asked PresidentGeorge W. Bush six days after the Sept. 11 attacks.

“I want him — I want justice,” the president answered. “And there’s an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive.’ ”

It took nearly a decade before that quest finally ended in Pakistan with the death of Bin Laden in a firefight with American forces who attacked a compound where officials said he had been hiding. He was generally believed to be 54.

Trauducción:

Osama bin Laden, quien fue asesinado en Pakistán el lunes, era un hijo del a elite saudita cuya radical, violenta campaña para volver a crear un imperio musulmán del siglo VII redefinio la amenaza del terrorismo para el siglo 21.

Con los ataques contra el World Trade Center y el Pentágono el 11 de septiembre de 2001, Bin Laden fue elevado al reino del mal en la imaginación estadounidense, una vez reservados para los dictadores como Hitler y Stalin. Era un nuevo enemigo nacional, con la cara en los afiches de se busca. Él se regodeó en cintas de vídeo, burlándose de los Estados Unidos y la civilización occidental.

"¿Quieres a Bin Laden muerto?" le preguntó un periodista al Presidente George W. Bush, seis días después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre.

"Lo quiero - Yo quiero justicia", respondió el presidente. "Y hay un viejo cartel en el Oeste, por lo que recuerdo, que decía:" Se busca: Muerto o vivo'".

Le tomó casi una década antes de que la búsqueda terminara en Pakistán con la muerte de Bin Laden en un tiroteo con las fuerzas estadounidenses que atacaron un complejo donde las autoridades dijeron que se había estado escondiendo. Se creía generalmente que tenía 54.
