May 09, 2011 Obama Admin Admits: Terrorist Threat Remains US Official: Bin Laden's Death Does Not End Terrorist Threat <http://waronterrornews.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551d9d3fd88330154322f22b3970c-po pup> Guantanamo_campv_entrance15oct10VoA News: A senior U.S. official says that despite the death of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist threat from al-Qaida continues. National Security Advisor Tom Donilon told television interviewers on Sunday the United States can not consider al-Qaida to be "strategically defeated." But he described removing bin Laden as a "really important milestone" in taking down the terrorist organization. Donilon said the size of the materials seized from bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, amounted to a "small college library," the largest cache of terrorist intelligence ever gathered. The security advisor said there is no evidence the Pakistani government knew bin Laden was living less than 60 kilometers from Islamabad, Pakistan's capital. But the al-Qaida leader, he said, must have had some sort of support network in the country and that needs to be investigated. On Saturday the U. S. released several videos seized by U.S. forces when they raided bin Laden's Pakistani hideout and killed him in the early hours last Monday. The videos show him watching himself on television and rehearsing to make statements to the world. An intelligence official told reporters the videos, computer drives and other materials showed that bin Laden was "far from a figurehead" but was an active player in al-Qaida's operation. Bin Laden seemed particularly concerned about how he presented himself to the world. One video showed bin Laden intently watching television newscasts about himself. In that video, his unkempt beard was streaked gray. But in another, he had apparently dyed his beard black and neatly trimmed it for the filming of a propaganda video. U.S. officials have been searching through seized items in hopes of learning what plans al-Qaida had for future attacks and where other al-Qaida officials are living. Security Advisor Donilon says deputy al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri was not anywhere near bin Laden when he was killed and the search for him continues.
