Al-Qaeda's Armies: Middle East Affiliate Groups & The Next Generation of Terror

Jonathan Schanzer

3.2/5 ( ratings)

With its leadership tier significantly beheaded by the U.S.-led, post September 11 war on terror, al Qaeda has been forced to adapt in order to survive. The movement is now dependent upon the existence of small terror squads throughout the Muslim world, which ascribe to al Qaedas Islamist objective of global dominance while simultaneously maintaining local aims. Detailing the ties of these groups to Osama bin Ladens network of terror, Jonathan Schanzer examines the history and ideology of individual affiliates that hold current and future significance for Western interests. For example, Schanzer addresses the history and challenges posed by Ansar al-Islam, an al Qaeada affiliate based in northern Iraq, implicated in numerous attacks against U.S. forces there.
