Pakistan Coat of Arms

Well it’s been just over two weeks since MAY DAY, May Day!  May 1, 2011 marked the demise of Al Queda‘s leader.  After ten years of hunting this killer and attempting to ferret him out of caves where we “thought” he was hiding out – poof! He was assassinated by American troops  in some very comfortable surroundings in Pakistan. 

And I thought throwing that out to my reader public as a Six Word Challenge might produce some interesting replies and it did indeed.  Not from SO many readers but thanks to one in particular I have several to post.
