Al-Qaeda Leader Killed
NATO's second most wanted fighter, Abdul Ghani, was killed in an airstrike in eastern Kunar province. The article reported that he was meeting with other members of al-Qaeda. This is big news for international relations because he was responsible for ordering leaders to kidnap foreigners and directing suicide bombs against US government officials. NATO has increased their troops and have been helping the Afghan army in order to capture the remaining al-Qaeda members in the Kunar region.

I suppose increasing troops to capture the remaining Al-Qaeda members is helpful. However, I still feel that even if they do capture all of the members they are looking for(which I think is unlikely)there are still so many that exist through the middle east and are traveling to different countries to terrorize. For example, a few months back in Iraq a huge massacre occurred and the people that were responsible were from Egypt. More and more people(not only from the middle east), are joining Al-Qaeda. I hope all of this will come to an end soon!

Yes this was a very interesting news post! It is very exciting that they are increasing troops to capture Al-Qaeda members, but I do agree with Rita that we probably still have a long way to go!

I agree with Rita, increasing troop presence in attempting to capture the remaining Al-Qaeda members is easier said than done. Unfortunately there will never be a point in a time where everyone will be captured. There should be a stronger implementation of security or different strategies in preserving the safety of NATO and other allied affiliated groups. The only that can be done, is to have everyone look out for their own safety.

The fact that troops are being sent into the area to capture the remaning leaders of Al- Qaeda is great and all but I believe it is only putting the soldiers lives at risk to end something that will never end. You can kill and be at war for decades upon decades but the underlying truth, in my estimation, is that terrorism will still remain. There will always be an individual or group that feels persecuted or unjustly attacked, this leads to their justification for acts of terrorism. Perspective is everything and the way people view others intentions plays a large role in working towards a more peaceful society. If you ask me what exactly I propose instead of putting the lives of soldiers at risk I couln't tell you, thats why there are educated men and women in office and in the armed forces who make those decisions. As of right now I believe that what is being done now is the only logical thing to do after getting involved so deep in the war on terrorism.
