U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday that the killing of Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida, was a defining moment in the war against terrorism. He said that al-Qaida's crimes spanned most continents and resulted in the deaths of thousands of men, women and children. He added that the United Nations condemned in the strongest possible terms terrorism in all its forms, regardless of its goals and wherever it occurs.

He called bin Laden's death an occasion to remember the victims and their families in the United States and around the world, and stressed that the United Nations would continue to fight terrorism in cooperation with world leaders.

U.S. President Barack Obama announced Sunday evening that bin Laden had been killed in a military operation in Pakistan.

صرح الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة، بان كي مون، اليوم الاثنين، بأن مقتل زعيم القاعدة أسامة بن لادن يعد لحظة فارقة في الحملة الدولية لمكافحة الإرهاب. وقال بان كي مون، ردا على تأكيد واشنطن لمقتل بن لادن في باكستان، ليلة أمس الأحد: جرائم القاعدة طالت معظم القارات، وتسبب في حوادث مأساوية وإزهاق أرواح آلاف الرجال والنساء والأطفال.


وأضاف بان كي مون: الأمم المتحدة أدانت بأقوى العبارات الممكنة الإرهاب بكل أشكاله، بصرف النظر عن أهدافه وأماكن ارتكابه. وتابع: هذا اليوم مناسبة لتذكر الضحايا وأسر الضحايا في الولايات المتحدة وفي كل مكان في العالم.

وأكد الأمين العام أن الأمم المتحدة ستواصل مكافحة الإرهاب، وستقود الحملة مع جميع قادة العالم ضد الإرهاب الدولي. وكان الرئيس الأمريكي، باراك أوباما، قد أعلن مساء أمس الأحد أن بن لادن قتل في عملية عسكرية في باكستان.
