2008 Beijing Olympic Medalist Samuel Wanjiru Dies Aged 24

Olympic marathon champion Samuel Wanjiru has died after apparently falling from the top floor of his home in Nyahururu, central Kenya.
The police said champion died from injuries sustained after jumping from top floor of his home in Nyahururu town at about 1am local time.

News of the death spread like bushfire in the town and by the morning many people among them athletes had thronged the Nyahururu district hospital mortuary where the body was lying.

The athletics champion was said to have jumped from his house at the Muthaiga estate in Nyahururu. Police said there was a quarrel between the runner and his wife Triza Njeri moments before he leaped to his death.

Nyandarua police chief Jasper Ombati said Wanjiru had come home at 11pm with a female friend after a social evening before the wife unexpectedly showed up moments later.

Mr Ombati said the runner was pronounced dead on arrival at the Nyahururu district hospital where he had been rushed by relatives.

Relatives found him lying on the concrete floor bleeding through the mouth and ears.
The Doctors at the district hospital tried to resuscitate him in vain. His female friend was being held at Nyahururu police station where she is helping police with investigations. The wife and a guard also recorded statements.

A huge crowd milled around the home by day break but the police had condoned off the area.

The sports hero was set to appear before a Nyahururu court on May 23 where he is charged with being in possession of an illegal fire arm.

In March, he had a sigh of relief after his wife and a guard, William Masinde, withdrew assault charges against him before the same court.

OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD

Osama Bin Laden

Osama Bin Laden,the longtime leader of al Qaeda, who is the mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on American soil is dead. U.S. President Barack Obama made this announcement late Sunday night, an this is coming 10 years after the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in the United States.


He was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members according to a senior U.S. official who spoke to journalist.
In his address to the nation late Sunday night,President Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."

The United States team launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and there were no American causalities. They also took care to avoid civilian casualties.They killed Osama bin Laden after a firefight and took custody of his body.
U.S. diplomatic facilities around the world have been placed on high alert after this development in fear that al Qaeda supporters may try to retaliate against U.S. citizens or U.S. institutions.

Hundreds of people arrived at the White House late Sunday night and chanted, "USA! USA!" They then chanted, "Hey, hey, goodbye!" in reference to the death of bin Laden and they spontaneously sang the national anthem according to CNN reports.

In President Obama's speech, he reiterated that the United States is not at war with Islam as even Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, in their  statement on Monday morning welcomed the death of bin Laden citing that bin Laden never represented Muslims or Islam In fact and in addition to the killing of thousands of Americans, he and Al Qaeda caused the deaths of countless Muslims worldwide.
