My guess is that we are concerned about a potential AQ "doomsday plan"- i.e. operatives are authorized to launch their attacks on learning of the death or capture of OBL.

Could your guess be interpreted to be OBL's martrydom in the belly of the eagle?

Yes. Remember how OBL predicted this. Also remember those pictures of NYC being nuked, the OBL looking down from the sky? That seemed to me to be indicating that OBL would be martyred before NYC was taken out.
