U.S. Public Concerns Answer

AFTER the death of Osama bin Laden even a week passed, it became clear that the assassination of Al-Qaeda in the hands of U.S. forces has the potential to spread to various areas of problems. Political, military, diplomatic, cultural, and of course America's national security.

So Osama's death was announced, new questions arise pitched concerns in the minds of Americans: What other measures would be taken to thoroughly cleared of terrorism? Will Al-Qaeda or its sympathizers revenge?

The Obama administration just said: There is no indication of intelligence that lead to specific plans regarding the attacks in the future.

However, the spy agency continues to monitor closely developments in the field. Counter-terrorism officials are even more concerned about the potential for unrest by individuals or small groups acting alone, especially those who do not have formal ties with terror organizations that are known so far.

U.S. targets abroad as soldiers, embassies, and companies certainly more vulnerable to the possibility of such revenge attacks.
Expected security federal law enforcement officials were ordered to review all open cases with a potentially associated with Al-Qaeda. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the tightened security at a number of international airports in the U.S., given the airline industry become soft targets for terrorists.

"We should become more secure after the death of bin Laden, but in the short term, we have serious problems that we face," said Attorney General Eric Holder.

Osama's death seems not necessarily to destroy Al-Qaeda struggle he led, which is responsible for global terror, including the September 11 attacks. His death does not just quell the threat of terror.

In the last ten years, Al-Qaeda has inspired a number of similar terror groups, including Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) based in Yemen.

AQAP claim to train a man who tried to impose a passenger plane majoring in Detroit on Christmas last year. He was carrying a bomb tucked in his underwear and plans to perform a suicide bombing.
Battle of Al-Qaeda attacks in September 11 the United States dragged into the battle. First, in Afghanistan and later in Iraq is considered by President George W Bush as the front line war against terror.

Yet, ironically, the death of Osama bin Laden's terror otal likely have little direct effect on the conflict in both countries.
In Afghanistan, U.S. President Barack Obama has announced plans to begin to withdraw troops by July and gradually hand over security responsibilities to Afghan forces.

White House says U.S. troop withdrawal levels will depend on how effective Afghan forces prove themselves capable of combating radical groups Talib and his cronies, including Al-Qaeda.

After more than eight years, fighting in Afghanistan became increasingly less popular. The question is whether the American public and its representatives in Congress will increase their demands for ending the war soon after Osama was killed.
