Ayman al- Healy and bin Laden.

“9.11″ attacks, “base” organization started by U.S. waves hit. However, the U.S. ten-year “war on terror” did not completely destroy the “base” organization; the contrary, the “base” organization change strategy and become more difficult to deal with.

One trick

broke up four guerrilla

2001 In October, the U.S. military invasion of Afghanistan, as the “base” organization to provide shelter Taliban regime collapsed. U.S. air and ground forces in the double blow, the “base” organization of training camps destroyed, its organizational structure in Afghanistan was seriously damaged, many militants have been killed or captured. In early 2002, U.S. intelligence agencies said that the “base” severely damaged the organization’s operational capacity.

after the outbreak of war in Afghanistan, “base” militants were forced to leave the base camp – Tora Bora mountains in eastern Afghanistan, fled to the more desolate the Gardez region. In late 2004, the U.S. government’s foreign claims, “base” organization two-thirds of senior leaders have been arrested. If Osama bin Laden in 2002 as a successor, in charge of the “base” training camp of 阿布祖巴耶 Dah, and “9.11″ planners 拉姆齐比纳尔谢赫 were arrested; “9 11 “the ringleader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who in 2003 captured; al-Qaeda military leader Mohammed Tifu other Duomingladeng right-hand man in the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan killed in action.

former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officials believe that the “base” is to decline, their training and leadership have been ineffective. However, there are security department warned, changing only the “base” means the organization of terrorist attacks, “base” after the decentralized organization has become more difficult to deal with.

Second trick

no longer engage in attacks on the United States alone stare

the past decade, the “base “sprawling branches of the organization as the specter of a general, always surprise there, quietly extending their reach to other parts of the world. U.S. security officials pointed out that the “base” organization spread in Asia, the Middle East and Africa branch, and variations will bring continuing terrorist threat, including the 2008 Mumbai, India accused of planning terrorist attacks in Pakistan militant group Lashkar, and “base” in Yemen, Iraq and other places of the branch.

2009 年 12 25, United States Delta Airlines domestic flight from Amsterdam to the United States suffered an attempted bombing; December 28, “the Arabian Peninsula al-Qaeda,” announced responsibility for the incident.

2010 October Al-Qaeda branch in Yemen and Saudi Arabia merged “the Arabian Peninsula al-Qaeda” and planned the bombing in Yemen to the United States cargo aircraft, despite two attacks thwarted, “the Arabian Peninsula al-Qaeda “is so famous. Late last year, the organization leaked again, threatened the United States is planning to supply hotels and restaurants for food poisoning, so that the United States and the European public panic.

Trick 3

bin Laden propaganda to attract followers

terrorist branch expansion in addition to outside entities, ” base “organizations trying to control the ideology to incite more anti-American forces. “9.11″ incident, the bin Laden speech, audio and video on TV several times in the network or coming out.

anti-terrorism experts believe that these speeches to encourage and incite terrorists can not be underestimated. Distributed around the world for the “base” branch, the leadership of Osama bin Laden, while not directly, but his influence and appeal can produce the effect of pre-loaded.

With the U.S. military bogged down in Iraq, “base” the rapid development of the local organization. Iraq car bomb attack from the large number of events, a person called Abu Musa Buzhakawei publicly responsible. He is anti-American militants, “Tawhid,” the leader, the official al-Zarqawi in 2004 and the “base” organizations, he was armed also renamed “Al Qaeda in Iraq.” Security experts believe that despite the strength of al-Zarqawi himself was more than the “base” organization, but he showed the latter to follow the spiritual leader of Osama bin Laden as a strong position.

Tricks 4

loose command organization becomes more professional

2006 June Zaka dimensional air strikes by coalition forces killed. But he briefly represented the “base” organization characteristics of a new generation of leaders. United States, “Foreign Affairs” magazine that the new leaders younger than Osama bin Laden, most of the terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and trained, devout adherence to Islam.

At the same time, “base” organizations from the traditional forms of terrorist organizations, to abandon the past strict pyramid organizational structure, as a loose network of organizations, the core leadership no longer responsible for the daily supervision, but in a more macro level of strategic command.
