Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Osama bin Laden.


Osama bin Laden

Given that there was not much time to plan these events, I entirely agree with what my noble friend says about the burial of bin Laden’s body. It was done, I understand, fully in accordance with the teachings of Islam, and it was done quickly and effectively. As my noble friend pointed out, there is the added advantage that there is no shrine to visit for those who regard bin Laden as a leader.
