More about:

A popular Dutch daily talk show has broadcast an operetta about the death of Osama bin Laden.

On Monday morning, the programme, De Wereld Draait Door, commissioned one of the Netherlands' most well-known musicians, Theo Loevendie, and one of the country's leading authors, Abdelkader Benali, to compose an operetta about the death of the al Qaeda mastermind. The duo managed to create the 90-second operetta, "Report about a Death Foretold", in less than 10 hours.
