Why dump osama at sea

Body of Baghdadi has been buried at sea. Baghdadi has met the same fate as Osama Bin Laden, chief of terror organisation Al Qaida who was gunned down by US forces in the year Osama's remains were buried at sea as well. In many countries, a sea burial is accorded to naval officers and sailors who wish that the unending stretches of water should be their final resting place.

This is in a way to honour their service to the nation and an ode to their lives at sea. Terrorists like them do not warrant honour of any sort. Whenever terror lynchpins like Baghdadi and Laden are killed, there often occurs a question of burial of their bodies. In the case of global terrorists like these, no country is generally ready to make available land for burial. There is often a danger of terror masterminds becoming 'martyrs' in the eyes of their fanatic followers.

This makes the situation worse as a thousand more of these fanatic youths may get drawn to terrorism to 'avenge' the 'death' of their 'leader'. In such a case, if the terrorist is buried on land, there is a clear danger of such a burial site becoming sort of a 'pilgrimage site' for religious fanatics. In the case of Osama Bin Laden, heavyweights were tied to his body to ensure that his body does not surface after the burial and it remains at the bottom.

There are many reports that say that a grave was dug in the ocean-floor by the US Navy and Osama's body was buried deep in it. It is possible that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's body may meet the same fate. For obvious reasons, the US has not made the exact details of the burial public. The location of the body has been kept secret as well.

From the AP :. Although the Obama administration has pledged to be the most transparent in American history, it is keeping a tight hold on materials related to the bin Laden raid. In a response to separate requests from the AP for information about the mission, the Defense Department said in March that it could not locate any photographs or video taken during the raid or showing bin Laden's body.
