Peter Bergen, CNN\u2019s national security analyst and the author of \u201cThe Osama bin Laden I Know,\u201d will speak at the University of Central Florida on Tuesday, Oct. 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Osama bin Laden: Terrorism\u2019s Future Prospects\u201d will begin at 3 p.m. in the Cape Florida Ballroom of the Student Union.
