Al Qaeda

UK £6 | 128 pages |

Al Qaeda has masterminded a number of the worst peacetime atrocities seen in the Western world. But does Al Qaeda still pose a threat or have events in Afghanistan and Iraq forced it into retreat?

Title details

Frequent claims of foiled plots; tighter monitoring of suspects and stronger global terror laws. On the flip side, a new safe haven emerging for terrorists in Pakistan; stories of terror cells springing up throughout North Africa; numerous recruits from Europe’s leading universities willing to sign up to the cause. Are Al Qaeda and its affiliates, responsible for the horrific attacks in New York, London and Madrid, finding it hard to be the force they once were, or should we be bracing ourselves for the next outrage?

Pocket Issue weighs up the hard facts.
