12:05 pm
the current situation u.s. citizens in areas where violence could erupt are strongly urged to limit travel outside of homes and hotels and to specifically avoid mass gatherings. travelers agree with the expectation of a threat but refuse to allow it to deter them them although i know it is risky this is a free country and that is what we fight for. is there concern about it ? yes. i also know it is important that we continue to stay free and i will continue to travel them up this is something that had happened and it happened. as far as trouble i've been doing this for years and i definitely have faith in our system them up i will continue to travel i think it was good news though and it's taken 10 years but we finally got our man. but the state department urges people who are traveling overseas to pay close attention
12:06 pm
to media reports. at o'hare back to you cannot and it consultant on knowingly sent out life tweets on the compound. hours after doing so the one man said " now on the guy who live blogged the osama raid without knowing it " he said he had no idea he was stopped minting the attack as he talked about a huge window shaking in a loud bang. he talked about their rare event and a few people online were saying that one of the choppers was not pakistan. must be complicated situation they said. several hours after the first tweet president obama confirmed osama bin laden's that . >> dick durbin in this a major moment in world history and the war against terrorism. what this means about afghanistan them up i hope that this organized
12:07 pm
effort against terrorism that we've struck a blow and we will bring home our troops soon. that is the best possible result is for street credibility the terrorist will probably strike began to see that we're still vulnerable. who knows to this point but those who believe in bin laden plot that he was invincible will cut this morning to a new world them off the days are numbered for the no. 2 and those around him and he thanked president obama and the military and intelligence officials for tracking down osama bin laden . >> on or terrorism analyst is joining us who also wrote a book specifically about osama bin laden them up for the navy seals coming in killed not capture what does this say about the situation provedn? . >> this complex a bit with what we're hearing because it is likely that they would not allowed to escape and from what
12:08 pm
i did research on he was prepared lynn saw captured in any event but they had they did a superb job and no casualties on our side and minimal loss of life on the side of the terrorists. they got the person they're after them up a huge propaganda tool for the u.s. and in pursuing this guy for 10 years now and said something about our dogged determination . >> absolutely true that cullom more of a public-relations success and it sends a message to individuals in the world they may not be motivated but others may see the note out no matter how long it takes or how far you have to go you will not get away for what you did on 9/11 and this is a great moment for justice . >> very symbolic moment because if osama bin laden was not an actual mastermind behind any attacks he was more of a symbolic leader ? yes he is really more of a poster boy and
12:09 pm
was very instrumental in mobilizing support for the group in the 1990's but after 9/11 his importance dwindled as he was driven further underground and he was never the operational mastermind it was more like zawahiri and more around him and the fact he was so deep undercover and is limited contact he could not have been involved in the day-to-day running 7 more which the network has been increasingly decentralized overtime anyway . >> the united states invaded afghanistan and the order to track him down specifically in he is now dead is this not a king ginger ? absolutely not. i wish i could say it was but i have to disagree with the senator. al-qaeda actually a very minor player in afghanistan and the real problem is the taliban who has not been weakened in the slightest by
12:10 pm
this. pakistan people are for the most part happy but the real horses the taliban wants total control of afghanistan . >> is the taliban threat to the united states proved them up is a worldwide threat to know i do not believe so. what we will see here is there may very well be that the main benefit of this is allows us to claim a victory because there will not be a lot of light at the end of the tunnel in this conflict and not everybody fully expect retaliation how forcefully could this be ? will that be on the level of 9/11? . >> i do not think it will be at that level. what has happened with al-qaeda all over the world is they realize that a catastrophic attack is very difficult to do and at this point probably beyond their means. in another what worries me is mumbai-style attack in
12:11 pm
