With the successful missile attack on one of the top peoples in all-Qaeda the US can make a note of oneself a partial-victory in the terrorism fight. But as the Americans got acrid on Abu Laith all-Libi on Pakistani territory, the action can cause an unpleasant a backlash.
He was placed at the top in the terrorism network all-Qaeda's hierarchy. He has stood of many terrorists behind the training, and then he ostensibly is the man, who has introduced the suicide bombers in Afghanistan. That is about the Lybian Abu Laith all-Libi, the US managed to hit on in the previous week.
The attack against Abu Laith all-Libi was completed with a remote-controlled, unmanned plane, which killed the Libyan top-terrorist and 13 of his conspirators - seven Arabs and six people from Central Asia with its missiles. According to the information who are in the case, were attacked carried out, so that it didn't go across plain clotheses, and when all-Libi was also the between between the Afghan Taleban-militia and all-Qaeda and one of the US' 12 mostly wanted people with a reward of 200.000 dollars for his head, the action must be described as a success seen from the US and the allied countries in the global fight against the Islamistic terrorism.
The success is only strengthened by that the US now finally managed to make short word of a man, whom the Americans had passivized already one time. Abu Laith all-Libi was gone for prisoner in the wake on the terrorism bombs towards New York in September 2001. But he succeeded in in 2005 running away from the prison, and he is thought to stand behind the attack at the American Bagram military-base in Afghanistan last year, while the American vice-president Dick Cheney was on visits. Cheney was let off unharmedly, but 23 people lost life in connection with the attack
BUT DER ER ET MEN.
Abu Laith all-Libi and the other terrorists were killed on Pakistani territory. In the northern Pakistani Waziristan-province close to the Afghan border, where all-Qaeda according to the intelligence services now has a haven from having been displaced from Afghanistan.
And precisely the fact that all-Libi was killed in Pakistan, mean that the missile attack is a partial-victory with built-in problems. That will give Pakistan's militant Islam-ists, who are allied with Taleban and all-Qaeda, extra blood on the tooth and new possibilities to make proselytes in the unstable and certain places civil war-hit Pakistans. And just here there soon have to be Parliamentary elections.
On February 18th the electors will have to go in the population-rich, Moslem country to the ballot boxes, and that doesn't benefit the party who supports president Pervez Musharraf that the US operates on Pakistani territory. As in the a lot of other Moslem countries the man on the street has a to put it mildly, very negative view of the US - or more correctly on the American government, and it doesn't help particularly that president Musharraf swears that he hasn't given the the US permission to operate in Pakistan.
The Which the US then either doesn't do officially. "We have no official information about this. The coalition forces do not perform operations in Pakistan", like Chris Belcher, who is an officer and a spokesman for the Americanly led coalition force in Afghanistan, it worded to the news agency AP, when the news about all-Liby's death emerged on Thursday.
Ifølge flere terrorism experts will the elimination of the Libyan top-terrorist give all-Qaeda a problem. At any rate in the short term, but probably neither more. And in defiance of that the terrorists' enemies in the now seven years long war in time have passivized several of the network's leaders, prevented quite a few acts of terrorism and here and infiltrated the terrorists' cells, it's continued up forecastles. Like the safety expert at British the BBCs, Frank Gardner, in the case of the turn of the year made a note of oneself in a status over the terrorism threat, all-Qaeda still has many supporters and tons of recruits for new attacks, as if the terrorism network arranges time and place for.
And - can you add - because of NATO's problems fighting Taleban in Afghanistan and with the NATO-countries' pointed dispute whether the command-distribution in the Afghan battlefield has this world's Islamistic terrorists an extra motivation to continue their bloody project. With or without it now Abu Laith killed all-Libi.
