The latest incident in which a terrorist Abdulmutallab attempted to blow up a Northwest Airline flight on Christmas Day is a reminder that terrorism is still very much a real threat to all of us. Luckily his plan was thwarted by fellow passengers who pounced on him.
According to a report from http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world/view/1032750/1/.html, Osama bin Ladin claimed responsibility for the botched Christmas Day bombing of the US airliner and said strikes on US targets will continue, in an audio statement broadcast Sunday on Al-Jazeera satellite television.
"The message that was conveyed through the (attacked) plane of the hero Umar Farouk (Abdulmutallab) is to stress earlier messages delivered to you by the heroes of the 11" September attack on the United States, he said. "That (message) is, that America should not dream of security until we enjoy it as a reality in Palestine," he added.
Although the authenticity of the audio statement is yet to be verified whether it is Osama's but I think you can infer from the statement above that we should continue to see terrorism as a real threat and that everyone of us play a part in creating an environment that censures it.
