美國追捕了十年的恐怖大亨本拉登日前被美國特種部隊擊斃。但拉登之死“余震”將對基地組織乃至全球造成深遠影響。拉登的離去是否意味著恐怖主義的終結(jié)？亦或是宣告新一代恐怖主義時代的來臨？

Following the attacks on the World Trade Centre in 2001, President Bush made it clear that Osama Bin Laden was the number one target for America.

"I want Justice, and there is an old poster out West if I recall that said 'Wanted: Dead or Alive'"

With a new President now in office ten years later, Osama bin Laden's death is clearly politically momentous for Barack Obama, and has generally been greeted by celebration around the world.

However, its actual impact on al-Qaeda is not so clear cut.

Some have been suggesting Bin Laden's death is "the end of the war on terror". However, analysts say al-Qaeda in 2011 is a very different organisation than it was in 2001, with a new generation of leaders and a much larger network.

"Osama Bin Laden is just one person, he is representative of networks of people who absolutely have made their cause to defeat the freedoms that we take, we understand, and we will not allow them to do so."

It has always been unclear to what extent Bin Laden, or his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has actually directed al-Qaeda's operations. The two men have largely been in hiding since September 11, leaving other subordinates to handle many of the group's day-to-day operations.

The question now is whether the philosophy that Bin Laden operated by will continue to resonate among al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups.
