From the UK, I like to occasionally check the FBI Top 10 Most Wanted lists (Criminal and Terrorists). I have noticed that in the past, once one suspected criminal has been detained/killed, they are removed and replaced with someone new.

Bin Laden has been publicly dead for about 8 months now. Yet he is still on the Top 10 Most Wanted list.

This can't be an oversight, since it's HIM.

The thing I was wondering about is this.
Have they left him on the list as a reminder to anyone who sees it that the American Government has now prevailed over their biggest thread for the last 10 years (other than themselves lol)?
Or, and I know this is stupid, have they left him up because though it says he is deceased, he is actually alive?
There is no denying that the circumstances around his death were insanely suspicious, what with the fake pictures which were two faces spliced together.

I don't pretend to be a conspiracy theorist, but this has been bugging me for a while now.

What's the deal here? Is whoever in charge of the Top 10 list just being lazy, or could there be something more?

It is just a reminder that we got him, nothing else.


I agree it should be removed....the FBI director would probably be the one who appoves a change in the list

yeah weird. they need to update, surely there is somebody that is wanted that can fulfil the requirements to make top ten and replace a dead guy.

The weird thing everybody should be looking at is the fact that he was never held accountable for 9/11 by the FBI.

Probably has something to do with the fact that he wasn't behind 9/11 at all.

Reminds me of Timothy McVeigh and how normally they would have pictures of their executed criminals... His 'picture' is that of empty shackles.

Why would his picture be that of empty shackles?
