I think it might be more interesting if Bin Laden's—accidental—death, caused by an IST intervention, triggered something. He becomes a martyr to “the cause” even though it was an accident. But, really, with the removal of fossil fuel dependency, the Middle East will atrophy. Which would be more than enough for zealots in that area to launch attacks on Fusion reactors. So, we do have to keep in mind that the Middle East won’t play too much into world politics. Sure, there’s always a place for petroleum byproducts, but it’s not going to give them all the wealth they enjoyed in our world.
Tertiary question, Bob: How much can we crib/use from other GURPS products? Especially 3rd Edition. I have some ideas that can make use of Warehouse 23, Aliens and Creatures of the Night.
