    Puzzle # 7752

    Who am I talking about? Easy puzzle. Those who find the answers, please give only a hint and not the direct answer even in a spoiler.

    Not sure how to give hints without giving away the answer. Will try:
    Controversy in using the American Indian name for code word in the Neptune Spear operation under President Obama

    Dear Kamala,

    The hints are hidden in plain sight if you validate all of the images.

    Viswa's puzzle was indeed easy! Now here's another one to start the week:

    This puzzle has two answers, related, but in two completely different domains. Answer-1 is physical. It is actually a thing. Answer-2 is a related idea. You need both answers to win fame and fortune. Rows 1 and 2 lead to Answer-1. Row-3 points to Answer-2.

    Answer-1 should be easy. Answer-2 is somewhat subtle if you don't know it already, although trivial with Google-Fu. More clues as requested.

    Note:
    (1) A common number between images means they go together (i.e #5 is two images and #10 is the last three images).
    (2) Thread tradition requires that you add a discreet clue if you think you have solved the puzzle. No give-aways!:lol:

    Answer to the Puzzle # 7752

    upload_2017-2-20_9-18-41.jpeg

    Clue # 1 - President Obama with a letter - Two clues in one - One is it is the former President who ordered the capture or kill order and second, there is only one letter difference between the former President and the most wanted terrorist's name.

    Clue # 2 - Award of $25 million for his head

    Clue # 3 - King Abdulla's photo to indicate OBL was Born in Saudi Arabia

    Clue #4 - COMSAT's Institute of Information Technology building to indicate Abbottabad where he was killed

    Clue # 5 & 7 - To indicate the name of the operation to kill him called "Neptune Spear"

    Clue $6 - "Geronimo" is the code name given to him in the operation "Neptune Spear".

    The first two rows are making me go round and round and round in circles.

    I think I have the keywords for the Row 3 but have only been able to make a tenuous connection so far.

    (1) Yes, the connection is somewhat tenuous (maybe I forced it a bit :facepalm:, but then that's what the 'extra clues on request' are there for!:wink1:). If you get all keywords for rows one and two, a connection can be made to row three i.e. Answer-1 in its full form constitutes an example of what row three is saying. The reverse will not work i.e nothing in row three has anything to do with the others necessarily - you cannot work backward from row three to one and two. They are independent.

    (2) However, the answer for row three is quite interesting, assuming one hasn't come across it somewhere already! If you get it you will recognize it. Besides, it's only two clues - you can treat it as a separate puzzle!
