| Al-Qaeda ideology still a potent threat |
| 2006-06-13 |
| Nearly 10 years after Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States, America may be fighting not just one Al Qaeda, but many Al Qaedas, spread all over the globe. The physical nodes of this network remain highly vulnerable to attack. That's shown by last week's arrest of 17 alleged home-grown jihadis in Canada, plus the death of the notorious Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in a US airstrike in Iraq. But the beliefs that inspired these men are far more difficult to counter. Both the Canadian cell and Mr. Zarqawi were self-motivated - not direct recruits of the bin Laden organization. |
