It appears that the inability of U.S. and allied forces to capture Al-Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden may have us centered on a new breed of "neo-terrorist."Baitullah Mahsud(below),the 34 year old leader of the Pakistani Taliban, seems to have become "Public Enemy #1" in the eyes of the Pentagon. U.S. government has a $5 million bounty on his head and has hinted that he may be a greater threat to the U.S. than Osama bin-Laden.
Does it really matter who the "GREATER" threat is? Lets face it, we failed in our efforts to capture or even locate bin-Laden, so now Mahsud threatens an "AMAZING ATTACK ON WASHINGTON" and now they want to focus on him.
I would agree that he is a younger and probably more ambitious terror leader in 2009. But the fact is that regardless if it's the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah or any other Islamic extremist group,THEY ALL WANT TO KILL WESTERNERS. And their unity, something the "UNITED" States lacks, is their strength.
