Does killing the leader kill the group ?

Top Farc leader killed
In the hunt to stop terrorists groups many times we hunt persons of interest or the leaders of these groups. In this case the leader was killed as a result of anti-terrorism efforts. My question is what difference does this make ? For example, if we caught Osama would al queda stop attacking ? One thing the article brings up is

"The killing of such a leading figure within Farc's secretariat, whose members are renowned for dying of natural causes, means the group's aura of invincibility has evaporated, our correspondent adds. "

So does the decapitation method they use work just as well against them ?
