I've Been Thinking:

Revenge for the killing of Osama bin Laden has begun.
On Friday Pakistani Taliban perpetrated a suicide attack at a paramilitary target in Pakistan killing 80 people and wounding hundreds.

"It's the first revenge for the martyrdom of ... bin Laden. There will be more," Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said by telephone.
Taliban will attempt to continue to try to unleash massive attacks to prove their superiority and to frighten locals into submission and silence. They want to make certain that locals do not to cooperate with authorities and do not collaborate with the United States.

The Taliban who perpetrated this terrorist attack were only loosely connected to bin Laden but they affiliated seriously with his ideas and goals. Most importantly, they realized and understood that their fates were shared with his.

If bin Laden was safe they were safe. Clearly, the Taliban are doing whatever they can to make certain that the tide does not shift against them.
