Pakistan issues global alart for retaliation

Pakistan's main Taliban faction has promised to avenge bin Laden's death and attack "American and Pakistani governments and their security forces".
Already a threat of revenge has surfaced against the US, which carried out the mission to eliminate Laden.
"We are proud on the martyrdom of Laden," Ahsan Ullah Ahsan, spokesman for Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), said late Monday night. "We shall definitely take revenge (on) America."
When asked how the Pakistani Taliban organistion would carry out revenge on America, Ahsan said, "We already have our people in America, and we are sending more there."
A leaked cable released few days ago also revealed a nuclear bomb threat to Europe as it is hidden somewhere in Europe to be detonated if bin Laden is ever caught or killed.
Earlier, CIA Director Leon Panetta said in a message to agency employees that terrorists "almost certainly" will attempt to avenge bin Laden's death.
US diplomatic facilities around the world have been placed on high alert following the announcement of bin Laden's death, a senior US official said, and the US State Department issued a "worldwide caution" for Americans.
The travel alert warned of the "enhanced potential for anti-American violence given recent counter-terrorism activity in Pakistan."
The United States closed two of its consulates in Pakistan to the public yesterday until further notice.
The US embassy in Islamabad and a third consulate in Karachi had earlier also been closed to the general public for routine business, but a decision was taken yesterday for them to re-open as normal, said an embassy spokesman.
Those closed are in the eastern city of Lahore and the northwestern city of Peshawar, which is close to the country's tribal belt that Washington has called the global headquarters of al-Qaeda.
A statement said the embassy and all consulates, however, would remain open for "other business and for emergency American citizen services".
It added that the warning would remain in effect until August 1.
Pakistan has already beefed up security across major cities, diplomatic installations and around the site of the killing in Abbottabad.

More troops were deployed in Islamabad to safeguard government offices and the city's diplomatic enclave, while in Lahore and Karachi, the two biggest cities, extra road blocks and barbed wire were laid around sensitive buildings.
Hundreds of people took to the streets on Monday in the southwestern city of Quetta, close to neighbouring Afghanistan, to denounce America, burn a US flag and pay homage to the al-Qaeda mastermind.
"His martyrdom will not end the movement, it will continue and thousands more bin Ladens will be born," said federal lawmaker Maulawi Asmatullah, who led the protest.
