Tax dollars working

A man by the name of Rashid Rauf was killed by US missile attack in northwest Pakistan. Rashid was on the run from authorities because of his alleged bombing plot in 2006. The plot included a transatlantic airplane strike. He died when a missile hit a tribal mans house in a village on a border district that is a Al-Qaeda and Taliban stronghold. Along with him four others were killed ,one other being a wanted suspect of Al-Queda named Abu Zubair al-Misri. Rauf was arrested over this bomb plot which sparked a worldwide security scare with bombs made of liquid explosions. Rauf was held under the Security of Pakistan Act and faced charges of impersonation, carrying a false identity and false documents. The attack on Rauf was just after an attack on six members a Al-Qaeda days before. Al-queda member mainley focus in tribal areas were Osama bin Laden is suspected to be hiding. I think this is proving that my tax dollars are being put to good use and bringing down members of this terrorist group. I think people need to realize that this problem will never go away and security always needs to be enhanced. This shows me that this war takes down very dangerous men. With the U.S government taking out a major leader of the terrorist group that shows me that advanced progress is being maid. We know we can win and we know we will . The problem is how to we stop a plan for a random terrorism attack.
