Mendenhall criticised for questioning bin Ladens death

Rashard Mendenhall, American football running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, remained a target of sharp criticism by Twitter users after he posted a message questioning whether news that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed should be cheered.Mendenhall wrote in a message posted to the social media site questioning that what kind of person celebrates death. He elaborated saying that we only know one half of the story whereas the other one remains behind curtains. Some Twitter users responded by asking if Mendenhall would have said the same thing when people celebrated Hitlers death. Mendenhall posted a series of about six Tweets, including one questioning whether the collapse of New Yorks Twin Towers was actually the result of al Qaeda hijackers flying planes into the buildings. He said it was hard time believing that a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition-style. He was heavily criticised by the fans.
