Days after the September 11th 2001 attacks in New York and Washington DC, the US government had identified Osama Bin Laden as the head culprit of the terrorist action on America.

Bin Laden's demonic face is spread across the front page and the words "Wanted: Dead or Alive" tells Americans that their al-Qaeda evil-doer will be caught eventually, like a baddie rounded up by the Sheriff by the last scene of a Hollywood western. .
