Al Qaeda s bench of leaders dwindles - CNN.com

(CNN)While the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq holds the world's gaze, a simultaneous transformation is getting less attention: the deterioration of al Qaeda.

In an audio message released Sunday, al Qaeda confirmed that two of its leaders, known as Ustad Ahmad Farooq and Qari Abdullah Mansur, were killed in CIA drone strikes in January in North Waziristan, near the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Indeed, al Qaeda has virtually no capacity to carry out attacks in the West. The last successful al Qaeda attack in the West was the London transportation system bombings a decade ago
.

Al Qaeda is now reduced only to holding American hostages such as 73-year-old aid worker Warren Weinstein, who was kidnapped from his home in the Pakistani city of Lahore on August 13, 2011.

That would be the number two man to Ayman al-Zawahiri the current leader of Al-Qaeda. Since Bin Ladens death he has opened up several branch offices that seem to sadly be doing pretty good.

AlQaeda has moved local. They can intimidate villiages and locals but they have not managed an attack on foreign soil in a decade
 
dimocraps are lying scum. ALL of them.

NOBODY, and I mean nobody, not even the lying POS OP believes that load of shit.

There's more glory working for ISIS.
You're trying to suggest that the obsolescence of myspace means the end of social media.
Many acronyms for the same thing, jihadists.

So they don't have central command and control, and are even at odds with each other in many places.

They are not at their end, no matter what spin is put on it.

Terrorist groups never end, they just change their names, or more precisely, we change the names used referring to them. It's like when we kill a large group of civilians then describe them as "militants." Same thing with al-Qarda close to defeat and the like. They're still there. We're just aware that if never make any headway the public support for offensive combat operations will dwindle away. Did the same thing in Vietnam. Kill a bunch of villagers then call them Vietcong to embedded sycophantic reporters.

The attack in France was on foreign soil as was Boston and Fort Hood it's true they haven't been able to pull off a 9-11 style attack in a decade but they have pulled off attacks by recruiting radicals inside other countries,

They were not involved in the planning or execution of those attacks

The names might be different but they all follow the same ideology. The attack in France done by ISIS or their supporters ISIS was originally known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq which was part of Al-Qaeda the Fort Hood shooter was in contact with a radical cleric in Yemen who was part of what was Al- Qaeda in Yemen not sure about the Boston bombers they may have gotten their ideas off jihadist websites which pretty much carries the Al-Qaeda message.
