Description

Encapsulated by PSA, with signature certified “AUTHENTIC” by PSA/DNA (84576343). In early 2011, President Barack Obama authorized “Operation Neptune Spear,” the May 2, 2011, raid led by U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six on wanted terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, orchestrated the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, that took 2,977 innocent lives-he had eluded capture for nearly a decade. Cornered in his compound, the fugitive was finally brought to justice when he was eliminated during the raid, concluding the largest manhunt in American history.

Presented is a 5-by-6-inch replica of Osama Bin Laden’s FBI wanted poster signed by President Barack Obama. The poster reads “FBI TEN MOST WANTED FUGITIVE” in white lettering on a blue background. “USAMA BIN LADEN” appears above a photo of the terrorist, with “DECEASED” appearing under his photo. The cut features Bin Laden’s description, a “CAUTION” section that lists the misdeeds done by the feared leader of Al Qaeda, and “REWARD” with the offered amount of $25 million for information leading to his apprehension or whereabouts. Obama signed the center of the poster over the section labeled “DESCRIPTION” with a black marker. The signature is large and bold, and the poster is in fine condition.
