Terrorism to continue for some time: Obama
October 09, 2013
Days after America flexed its military muscles in two African countries -- Libya and Somalia -- against terrorists, US President Barack Obama has said that the risk of terrorism is going to continue for some time, even as top Al Qaeda leadership has been decimated in Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

Asserting that Abu Anas al-Libi, an alleged top Al Qaeda kingpin snatched in a US commando raid in Libya, would be brought to justice, Obama said America needs to engage in a "war of ideas in the region", engage with Muslim countries and try to isolate radical elements.
