7/7 Bombing Mastermind in Custody

Haroon Rashid Aswat was arrested in Zambia today. He is thought to be the mastermind of the 7/7 attacks that killed more than 50 people. It is also believed that Italy may be the next target of terrorist attacks. There has been increased chatter over the internet that leads authorities to believe that Rome may be attacked sometime in the near future. I am sure Italian officials are doing everything in their power to stop any attack from happening. Terrorism will be a problem as long as the terrorists have the financial ability to buy weapons and supplies for making bombs. We need to find those who are supporting the terrorist cells and deal with them the same way as the terrorists themselves. We are, I believe, winning the war against terrorism all over the world, but I think we are still a long way from seeing the end of this war. Similarly to things in Iraq, the situation may get worse before it gets better. I am not trying to scare anyone by saying this, but I hope that everyone is expecting the unexpected. As soon as we let our guard down the terrorists will strike. I would propose that the government continues, for a while, to step up security at airports, subways, etc. We need to be as vigilant now as we were immediately following the 9/11 attacks. Only then will we be able to stop any further attacks from happening here. (Photo provided by FOX News)
