lectures. so he is part of the next wave, al qaeda 2.0. there is a reason he is on the cia s kill or capture list. thank you. you re welcome. how is the death of osama bin laden affecting af? and what does it mean for u.s. troops fighting the war on terrorism? we have have theav afghanistan ambassador to the united states here. thank you very much. ambassador, what does it mean now that bin laden has been killed in pakistan is itr? i think this is a great achievement. and also, it is important steps in the global war against terror. also, it is a victory for those who have suffered the most especially the people of afghanistan who are fighting in the front line and for those who have lost their loved ones in september 11 in the united states. you know, there has been much talk in this country about
