But there is speculation that nothing happened after the alert on October 11 because whatever had been allegedly planned by al Qaeda was either postponed or cancelled after some of its operatives were caught in the international anti-terror operation and arrested.

You have to be joking. I figure it will be at least several years before we can relax even a little, a lot longer before life truly goes back to normal.

Haven't some of these operatives been released? Then the answer to your question would be "NO!"
