The White House President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, along with other staff of the Safety, while watching on a television screen in the White House's mission to ambush the hideout of Osama bin Laden.

Through a video camera on the helmet of a member of the special forces Navy Seals, Obama can see that globalization terrorist network leader shot dead in his left eye.



KOMPAS.com - the most wanted terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, was killed in a U.S. military operation in the city of Abbottabad, Pakistan, early May 2011, but by no means weakened the terrorist threat. Many experts say the terrorist network was preparing a new strategy that is still a dangerous threat to the world, not least in Indonesia.

Acts of terror or terrorism is not new. Coordinated attacks aimed at generating a feeling of terror, the atmosphere of panic, of community has been happening since a long time. However, terrorism became more actual since emerging attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, USA, 11 September 2001.

The name of Osama bin Laden more popular pascatragedi nine eleven that killed more than 3,000 people. Since then, all countries in the world are in a position of readiness, including the state-majority countries may secretly "grateful" that attacks targeting the "superpower country" is.

Since then, the hunt for Osama and attempts to muzzle the bases of Al Qaeda terrorist network leader Osama proclaimed the United States. Working closely with its allies, U.S. troops and all the logistics of war to Afghanistan and then spread to Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan was used as a base.

Nearly 10 years later, on May 1, 2011 U.S. time, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the Al Qaeda terrorist network leader was already dead. Osama was killed in an elite special operations forces Navy SEALs, U.S., in Abbottabad. Most U.S. soldiers feasted upon knowing Osama was killed.

We do not need to question how Osama was killed. How Osama arises, whether the network is dead and already secure us from terrorism, is more actual lawsuit to be addressed. Could the world be safe from terrorism, international organized network that?

Osama, whose full name is Osama bin Muhammad bin Awwad bin Laden, came from poor peasant families Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab, who is still turbulent. He began to build its communications network in 1979 when he arrived in Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia, the country both.

In Afghanistan, he joined the militia war of the mujahideen who fought against the invasion of the Soviet Union. According to Middle East analyst, Hazhir Teimourian, jihad against the Soviet Union was supported in U.S. funds, received the blessing of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and he also received security training from the CIA.

Osama also founded the Maktab al-Khidimat who recruited fighters from around the world and imported equipment to aid the Afghan resistance against the Soviets. After the Soviet withdrawal, "the Arab Afghans", as against the faction of Osama, turns against the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East. Years 1988-1989, Osama founded al Qaeda, which means foundation.

Osama returned to Saudi Arabia to work in the family construction business, but was expelled in 1991 for antigovernment activities there. Osama then spent the next five years in Sudan until U.S. pressure on Sudan to push him away, and he eventually returned to Afghanistan.

Long before 11 September 2001 attacks, bin Laden was involved in three series of deadly attacks, the 1993 WTC bombing, killing 19 U.S. soldiers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, as well as bombs in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Hunt for Osama had done since September 2001 post-attack on the WTC and the Pentagon, the U.S., which killed more than 3,000 people. The U.S. asserts, Osama is the "most significant sponsors of extremist activists in the world".

Does Osama's terrorist network that was built has weakened? There is no strong evidence indicating that the terror network had died. One of the most powerful wing of Al Qaeda are currently in the Horn of Africa, namely Al Shabaab.

Boko Haram based in Nigeria, West Africa, related to the Islamic Maghreb, a branch of Al Qaeda in North Africa and Al-Shabaab. Boko Haram: The Emerging Threat in West Africa jihadist-Ideology, Anti-Defamation League, November 12 2011 mentions, officials indicated Boko Haram openly: they embrace the ideology of Al Qaeda.

Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which moves in Southeast Asia still needs to watch out. Indonesia recently arrested and imprisoned several times a JI terrorist suspects. Just as in the activists of Al Shabaab and Boko Haram, JI activists also change the target of attacks on symbols of government. Maybe they are now also "retroactively" to devise a new strategy.
