Whereas the heinous criminal history of Osama bin Laden

civilians and military personnel, ranging from the July 7, 
2005, London bus bombings to the Madrid train bomb-
ings of March 11, 2004, to the bombings of the U.S.S. 
Cole and the United States Embassies in Kenya and 
Tanzania; 
Whereas, for his craven terrorist acts, Osama bin Laden was 
criminally charged by the United States Department of 
Justice and indicted in United States District Court for 
the Southern District of New York; 
Whereas, after nearly a decade of courage, dedication, and 
perseverance by members of the United States Armed 
Forces, the intelligence community, and the Obama and 
Bush 
Administrations,
