A year ago, U.S. Navy SEALs slipped into a heavily fortified compound in Pakistan and killed the face of international terrorism. There is a growing fear, however, that Osama bin Laden’s death didn’t even seriously wound the international terror threat.

On May 2, 2011, Navy SEALs shot and killed al-Qaida leader and Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in his home in Abbottabad, Pakistan. It was a raid made especially daring by the fact that there was only a 50-50 chance the terrorist leader was there. After his death, these are five of the top al-Qaida leaders who pose a clear and continuing threat of an attack within the U.S., according to U.S. intelligence and counterterrorist officials.
The house where Osama bin Laden was shot dead by U.S. Navy Seals is slated to to be flattened by rocket-propelled grenades next month, then bulldozed -- and effort to keep it from becoming a shrine to the former leader of al-Qaida.

A two-hour documentary set to air on Tuesday casts fresh doubts on the Osama bin Laden raid, The Associated Press reported.
Shortly after eleven o’clock on the night of May 1st, two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters lifted off from Jalalabad Air Field, in eastern Afghanistan, and embarked on a covert mission into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden.
The Navy SEALs' raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan yielded several computers, nearly a dozen hard drives, and about 100 other data-storage devices geared to a primary goal: hunting down al-Qaida operatives.
Osama bin Laden was planning an attack on the United States to coincide with the 10th anniversary of 9/11, according to intelligence seized at bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan that was reported by the Wall Street Journal Thursday.

The death of Osama bin Laden, the top name on the U.S. military’s high-value target list, dealt a serious blow to enemy fighters in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. But it’s the systematic elimination of other names on that “capture or kill” list that many are now crediting with turning the region’s terrorists and insurgents into a younger, less experienced and less fanatical group.
