Boston.
US President Barack Obama today said that America has put al Qaeda 'on its heels' and the country will no longer be threatened by Osama bin Laden, thanks to the bravery of its men and women in uniform.
"We are taking the fight directly to al Qaeda. And because of the bravery of our men and women in uniform, Osama bin Laden will never again threaten the United States of America," Obama said at a fundraiser here.
Appearing at two fundraisers in the city, Obama said while 'we have put al Qaeda on its heels', there are still 'enormous challenges' for the country's security.
Noting that US has removed 100,000 troops from Iraq and ended its combat mission there, Obama said starting in two months, the US will be 'transitioning our troops out of Afghanistan'.
Referring to the situation in the Middle East, the President said America has a 'huge stake' in making sure that countries like Egypt are successful in their transition to democracy.
He however, added that, 'we have not made the kind of progress that we need to make on peace between Israelis and Palestinians'.
But the suicide bombings in Pakistan and Afghanistan do not give any indication at to what Mr. Obama want's us to believe. The next such targets could be US Citizens in USA or outside along with Indians in India.
