I think so, just like any militant organization, they have a morale which can be good or poor depending on circumstances. Obviously things like the killing of an important leader like OBL can light a fire under these guys and get them trigger happy and blood thirsty, where as prior to Osama's departure, they were indifferent or perhaps even questioning his motives. Osama bin Laden is in a place as a leader now where few have been, he's in a position where he can no longer make mistakes, he's a martyr. Every word he's ever spoken is now engraved in gold to all his followers, it's gospel. This event isn't going to disband or even slow the terrorist movement, if anything it could re-ignite it.
I'm along with the people who believe this action could result in retaliation, based on their past actions, the idea fits their profile.
