A few months ago it was reported that Al-Qaeda, under attack in Afghanistan and Pakistan, had largely been degraded. After the attempted bombing of a Northwest 253 flight bound for Detroit, the same sources in the US and UK intelligence agencies say not only that Al-Qaeda is still a dangerous threat, but that it may have managed to reconstitute new bases of its operations in Somalia and Yemen.
Al Qaeda Still in Operation?

First, congratulations on a great blog. Second, you are quite correct in your views about Somalia and Yemen. Please add to that the headquarters in Sudan. We need to stop dealing with this issue on the basis of what is convenient for various interests and government agencies and face reality. Al Qaeda isn’t one thing, not a group of a few thousand, it is a catch phrase to describe an interlocking group of militants around the world. The reason bin Laden was/is important isn’t because of the core al Qaeda, but rather he was able to get groups to work together that had previously been fighting one another for dominance.
