12 years ago yesterday, @USNavy Seals killed the world's most wanted terrorist, 9/11 mastermind, and then-leader of #alQaeda, #OsamaBinLaden, in a raid at his hideout in #Abbottabad, Pakistan.

From the @LongWarJournal archives on May 2, 2011:
longwarjournal.org/archives/2011/…
During the raid, @USNavy Seals collected hundreds of thousands of documents, images, and computer files.
Before later making a large swath of these public, the @CIA gave exclusive access to FDD's @LongWarJournal.

Some highlights of their findings:

Also from the archives: They discuss the #binLaden documents with @CliffordDMay in episode one of FDD's "Foreign Podicy" podcast — listen here:

THREAD | (1) Since 2015, a bipartisan consensus has prevailed: members of Congress across the political spectrum support non-nuclear sanctions—including terrorism sanctions—on #Iran.

Six years later, the #Biden admin appears to be on the verge of going against this consensus...
(2) @TzviKahn's memo compiles statements from the #Obama admin expressing support for terrorism sanctions on #Iran.

These quotes highlight the bipartisan support of terrorism and other non-nuclear sanctions—and the importance of maintaining them should the US reenter the #JCPOA:
