Well, if the death of bin-Laden is the end of the war on terror and the end of Al-Qaeda, why are people still dying at the hands of the "religion of peace"? It may have something to do with the Qur'ans call to either convert, subjugate or kill non-believers and the dictates of Muhammad to "...kill and be killed for Allah..."(9-111). I guess bin-Ladens death did nothing to change that.

Iraq: car bomb near cafe kills 16 in Baghdad
BAGHDAD (AP) — A car bomb tore through a cafe packed with young men watching a football match Tuesday in Baghdad, killing at least 16 people, officials said. It was the first major attack since U.S. commandos killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which struck a Shiite enclave in a mainly Sunni neighborhood, but it bore the hallmarks of the terror network's chapter in Iraq. Al-Qaida operatives have vowed revenge for bin Laden's death on Monday.
Iraqi security officials said Monday that they were increasing security amid fears that insurgents would try to strike immediately following bin Laden's death as a way to show they are still a potent force.
Most of the dead and wounded were young people watching a football match, said police and hospital officials. A vendor selling food near the cafe also was among the 16 killed. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information, said 37 people also were wounded.
The attack occurred in a Shiite enclave in the former insurgent stronghold of Dora, an area in southwestern Baghdad that saw some of the fiercest fighting of the Iraq conflict.
Many Iraqis were quick to blame the terror network.
"This is the cowardly reaction of al-Qaida after the killing of the big terrorist bin Laden. They intend to do this against such gatherings in Shiite areas," Jasim Hashim, a 20-year-old student who lives about 200 yards (meters) from where the bomb went off in front of a popular cafe.
He said his parents had refused to let him go out, fearing just such an attack after bin Laden's capture, but one of his close friends was at the cafe and killed in the attack.
Violence in Iraq has decreased dramatically since the height of the insurgency when groups such as al-Qaida in Iraq carried out car bombs, kidnappings and shootings daily. But the terror groups still have the ability to wage violent attacks as the U.S. prepares to withdraw all its forces by the end of this year.
The worst is yet to come. Once Islam takes back the reigns.

"Violence in Iraq has decreased dramatically since the height of the insurgency". But it is still huge compared with before the US invasion. It was the 2003 invasion which opened up the country to Islamic extremism, which didn't exist under Saddam Hussein. He was a more effective opponent of Islamic terror groups than the cowboys in the White House and their Zionist advisors.
Let me explain something Jay since you are so obviously incapable of understanding simple history and are immune to the truth. Islam KILLS. Islam has been murdering, raping, taking booty, executing, killing, beheading, slaughtering, disemboweling, taking slaves, cutting throats and throwing people from the tops of high places since Mohammed first received his little "revelations" in a cave more than 1400 years ago. The slaughter began with Mohammed and has never stopped. The slaughter will not stop until everyone in the world has accepted Mohammed as the prophet of Allah and the world is ruled by Shariah. These are not my words, they are the words of Islamic scholars, mullahs, and imams from around the world. Words taken directly from the Quran and pounded into the psyche of the poor and vulnerable, words targeting children. Until Islam learns to be just one of many religions, peacefully co-existing with others, there will never be world peace, but of course that is not possible. Mohammed, Allah "commanded" that Islam is to be THE only religion. If the United States, the "Great Satan", is responsible for the slaughter in the Middle East, why then are the people of Indonesia, the former USSR, Vietnam, Thailand and China experiencing increased Islamic terrorist activity? Why is Islam targeting other Muslims and killing their own? Why do Sunni's target Shiites? Why are Africans targeting one another for extinction? Why has Islam marched and conquered country after country throughout history in it's attempt to enforce Islam as the only "religion" (forget enforcing "religion", it is ALWAYS to acquire wealth and power). No Jay you will ignore these questions and ignore the truth, you always do, and you will continue to spout your worn out 1960's style, faded revolutionary socialist Newspeak. Islam is an ideology identical to Communism, there is no difference between the two. Both want power, both want total and complete domination and control over the masses, both use propaganda, both take aim at the young, both encourage men and women to spy on one another and turn in violators, and both rule by brutality, violence and murder. Islam is the Big Brother that George Orwell warned us about so many years ago. Big Brother is here. How nice for you to be the puppet and the voice of Big Brother.
