LYON, France - INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble has congratulated the US and its counterparts worldwide for the gathering and sharing of intelligence that permitted the US to locate Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, and to launch a targeted operation to bring him to justice - an operation that resulted in his killing by US special forces.

While Bin Laden's death strikes a crippling blow to an organization that requires members to swear personal allegiance to Osama Bin Laden, the head of INTERPOL called for extra vigilance by INTERPOL member countries' law enforcement authorities to a heightened terror risk from Al Qaeda-affiliated or Al Qaeda-inspired terrorists as a result of Bin Laden’s death.

With the announcement by US President Barack Obama that the US employed a carefully planned and executed operation against the Al-Qaeda leader in a compound in Abbottabad, north of Islamabad, the head of INTERPOL said that Bin Laden's death in the tenth year following the 9/11 attacks was 'a fitting end to a symbol, advocate and sponsor of terrorism globally whose actions resulted in the murder of thousands of innocent victims in the US and throughout the world.’

"The world’s most wanted international terrorist is no more, but the death of Bin Laden does not represent the demise of Al Qaeda affiliates and those inspired by Al Qaeda, who have and will continue to engage in terrorist attacks around the world. We therefore need to remain united and focused in our ongoing co-operation and fight, not only against this global threat but also against terrorism by any group anywhere,” said Secretary General Noble.

“We must remember that since 11 September 2001, there have been deadly terrorist attacks around the globe by a variety of groups and persons. Indeed, no continent or region of the world has been spared from terrorism and we know that there remain those within, affiliated with, and inspired by Al-Qaeda, dedicated to continued terrorist attacks across the globe,” said the INTERPOL chief.

“I am therefore asking the international network of INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and law enforcement agencies in each of our 188 member countries to be on full alert for acts of retaliation should Al-Qaeda try to prove they still exist despite the death of their highest profile leader,” concluded the head of INTERPOL.

Bin Laden, who had topped the US ‘most wanted’ list was the subject of INTERPOL Red Notices, or international wanted persons alert, and also the subject of an INTERPOL-United Nations Security Council Special Notice.
