Through its determined pursuit of Osama bin Laden and killing him after locating his hideout, America has sent out a strong message. It would be wise for the world to take the American success in tracking down and neutralising the elusive amir of Al Qaeda and chief ideologue of global jihadi terrorism Osama bin Laden as only the end of one chapter and not that of the story itself. Providing the US’s perspective of the event, President Barack Obama has said that America is not opposed to Islam but is determined to uproot terror by its roots.
