Repercussions of bin Laden's death

Despite some suspicions over its authenticity, the gunning down of the world's No 1 terrorist, Osama bin Laden by US Navy Seals on Sunday is epoch-making. It marks the end of decade-long efforts by the United States to avenge the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that claimed thousands of lives.

Nevertheless, it is not time for it to celebrate just yet, as the world must brace itself for the repercussions from Sunday's dramatic event.

Despite the death of the Al-Qaida leader, the terrorist network still has the ability to retaliate.
