"We can not presume what could happen in terms of retaliation, but we want to boost the frequency of patrols at camps and bases," Kitazawa was quoted by local media as saying.
US President Barack Obama announced Sunday night that a US operation had killed bin Laden outside Pakistani capital Islamabad.
