The world's most odious terrorist, Osama bin Laden, was killed and not captured because he would present no interest to anyone if he was alive, Russia's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said.
The notorious al Qaeda leader was killed in an operation conducted by U.S. special forces on a compound in Abbottabad, north of the Pakistani capital Islamabad, on Sunday.
Asked why bin Laden, who topped the U.S. most wanted list, was not taken alive, Rogozin told the Izvestiya daily that "apparently, no one needs a talking bin Laden."
