Aftermath Effects of Bin Laden's death

We all knew there was going to be some sort of aftermath terrorist attacks after the death of Bin laden. This particular event occurred in Pakistan's air naval base in Karachi. It is estimated that there were 12- 15 terrorist attackers. The article doesn't state a specific group but is said to be militants, or specific reasons why they targeted the naval base. They launched grenades and heavy artillery fire was exchanged between the group and Pakistani navy officers. During the attack there is a total of 10 dead, or injured. The naval base is also a large area which houses a museum, college, and air command center, which could be a reason why it was targeted just three weeks after Bin Ladens death. So far the Militant group that attcked the base is now trapped in one building on the base, and Pakistan officers confirmed 6 to already be dead, and state, "they are fighting a losing battle." This just shows some of the smaller terrorist attacks we face due to the elimination of a figure head.
