Why was Osama bin Laden buried at sea?
Shortly after US troops killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani compound on May 1, 2011, the US took custody of his body and buried it at sea.
According to the New York Times, Bin Laden's body was "washed in accordance with Islamic custom, placed in a white sheet and then inside a weighted bag... Aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson in the North Arabian Sea, a military officer read religious rites - translated into Arabic - and then the body was placed on a board, tipped up and eased into the sea."
The reason he was buried so quickly has to do with Islamic traditions and practices. It is customary to bury a body within 24 hours of death.
A US official was quoted that the government decided to bury him in the sea because no country wanted to accept his body (it is rumored they asked his birth country of Saudi Arabia if they wanted the body and they refused), and also the US worried if bin Laden had a physical gravesite, it would become a place of worship for his followers.

Osama Bin Laden. ;] They're spelling it Usama instead of Osama because people get it mixed up with OBAMA!
Osama and Usama are the same name. In Arabic, the same letter (waw) can be pronounced somewhat closer to an "O" or closer to a "U" in English depending on accent. The transcription in English marks this difference, but it is the same name. (This is the same as the differences between Mohammed and Muhammad).
Why did Osama bin Laden attack World Trade Center?
The accepted wisdom that the US was attacked was to punish the US, its military (the Pentagon) and its economic power (the WTC), and in particular for the historic and ongoing US support of the state of Israel and Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people. This is the basis for the recruitment of Muslim militants and militant groups to plan and carry out terrorism around the world and, in particular, against the US.
However, terrorist acts like that the attacks on the Pentagon and the WTC never succeed in bringing about a change for the better, never. They invariably create situations far worse than what is claimed by their perpetrators, always. This fact easily escapes an average terrorist, especially the young, the angry, the disenfranchised. But Osama Bin Laden was none of these things; he was an educated, intelligent man who knew a lot about the world. Why did he spend much of his wealth and the lives of so many young Muslims on a mission of destruction to intensify discrimination of Muslims? We can only speculate. Bin Laden's actions are typical of megalomania; he spent so much and sacrificed so many on his altar of aggrandizement, his place in history.
