#3 I'm with pappy, the worldwide war on al-qaeda has stressed their resources. They havent done anything major outside of Iraq in some time. The doomed Iraq mission is draining their savings account and dessimating their volunteer ranks. They can't afford to take their attention or resources away from the Iraq theatre. The funny part is that the dumb bastards travel from all over the planet, spending their own money, and making a very perilous journey, only to be killed by U.S. Marines once they get there. Al-qaeda has gone from a slippery, hard to engage organization
to one that comes to us for their reward. While they most assuredly would like to plot attacks in America, the bulk of the jihadis seem stupid enough to go to iraq and afghanistan and cash in their chips.

#4 I would guess that a lot of Dhow and Merchant ship owners were all gung ho and making promises of support on Sept 11 and now after the collapse of the Taliban and Iraq they aren't returning Al Queda's phone calls.

I few other merchant ships were probably duped and taken by Chinese pirates and are now repainted and sailing under a different name.
