Alexander: ‘Major blow’ for al-Qaida

Douglas Alexander, shadow foreign secretary, commented on the death of Osama bin Laden:

“The news that Osama bin Laden will no longer be able to plan his murderous attacks will be welcomed by people across Britain.

“This is a major blow against al-Qaida which will give a sense of justice to the families of Bin Laden’s victims but, while this is an important chapter, it is not the end of this story and we have to show continuing vigilance and determination in the face of this threat.”
