Al Qaeda is alive and well in Libya, Iraq, Syria and the wars are not receding.

The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda in Iraq are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.

There's no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq.

In my judgment, the greatest risks are international terrorist groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah. The war in Iraq has taken our attention off those priorities.

[Al-Qaeda's supporters] are aware of the cracks in the Western financial system as they are aware of the lines in their own hands

Al Qaeda is closely aligned with the Chechens.
