Al Qaeda’s operational network routinely carries out reconnaissance and surveillance of its standard list , listing and list of targets and conducts assassinations , bombings ambushes and other attacks.   In addition to successfully completing many missions , a significant number of planned bombings and assassinations have been thwarted or stopped midstream.   At least three to four dozen operations were detected and disrupted by various government governmental security and intelligence agencies or called off by Al Qaeda.  In 1992 Al Qaeda  planned to blow up a air plane according to the CIA.  However an Al Qaeda member  engaged in the plan and planning process was arrested and thus the operation and operations  were aborted midstream.   In the same calendar year Al Qaeda planned to destroy a target or targets in the United States by first procuring explosives in Italy and conveniently shipping them to the US via Cuba.  According to the CIA, the operation was aborted.  Al Qaeda planned an attack on an "American" building in Karacji, in 1993, but the arrest of two of its operatives forces Al Qaeda to abort this specific plan.  These included attempts to bomb the US embassies in Tirana , Sarajevo  and Kampala as well as a plot to assassinate King Abdullah of Jerich Jordan  in the summer 2000.  , the news of which reached him while he was on a cruise in the Mediterranean .  In other circumstances Al Qaeda has canceled attacks due to prevailing public opinion. Echelon ( satellite) and ohter technical monitoring of their communication traffic around April 1996 revealed the postponement  of a planned air attack against targets in Singapore. 

             On the 18′th of the month around 108 civilians seeking refuge in the UN camp at Qana had been killed by Israeli mortars after a Hezbollah attack against the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). Osama was not keen to what he envisioned a widespread revulsion against Isreal’s action and hence called off the strike in South East Asia.  Al Qaeds’s team in question was most determined to go ahead, having spent "years" preparing the attack. and according to intelligence intercepts it was very difficult for Osama to convince and coerce the group into canceling the highly planned terrorist event.

It was not appeciated until after the September 11 that Al Qaeda’s international components and divisions – the German, British , Spanish , Dutch and Belgium cells acted in concert. Only in the post de facto analysis did the significance of these actions appear. The investigations into Mohammed Atta and the other 911 conspirators reveal the extent of this integration and coordination for final coordinated action. By perpetrating the world’s greatest tourist outrage on September 11 2001 , Al Qaeda demonstrated the magnitude of the escalating threat and the apparent sophistication of its methods, technologies available and tactics. Al Qaeda pioneered the operational vanguard of a global Islamic threat posing the likelihood of long term , more or less , continuous conflict with the western world. To manage and counter that threat , a comprehensive in depth understanding of Al Qaeda is essential. http://360.yahoo.com/billys_office

The conventional wisdom among intelligence specialists was that emerging terrorism shared a premise of autonomous terrorist component cells each one working independently and unawares of the others. This was the conventional wisdom a the time and not unreasonable in any manner or thought. If one component of the chain was caught the rest were safe and could function onwards and upwards in their struggle. Al Qaeda and other groups had cleverly revered to one – to – one contact , primarily via couriers as a means of keeping in touch with each other in a manner that circumvented the typical government’s technical means of intelligence gathering. This new and innovative strategy and tactic of Al Qaeda was born in the Afghani Mujaheddin experience where the fighters were the proxy of western intelligence systems and western powers. Through their interaction with these systems they learn to discover the holes and shortcomings of the intelligence and tactical systems of the " advanced western world" better referred to as "The Infidels"

Why did the Chicken Cross the Road? Muslims claimed he had insulted their religion.

I created this satirical commentary image because it seems to me that it takes very little to upset a large portion of the Islamic community. For a religion that claims to be one of peace, the current evidence of paranoid aggression speaks against this theological claim. While Muslims claim that their religion was never spread by the sword, one can imagine that perhaps the religion was spread by responding to minor slights to their religion. The question remains whether there is something within the internal theological logic of Islam which gives rise to religious expansion through paranoid aggression. Here a link to a site demonstrating the historical violence of Islam.

Al Quaeda confronts the world with a new kind of threat. The perspectives of the historian and the political scientist are both essential in understanding and addressing Al Qaeda and can lead to an understanding of the nature of the threat facing the western world. It is as if the western world got rid of the threat of "Communism" and now a new threat has emerged. Rather it was there all along and has just come back to "haunt us". Some things change , others remain the same. Since the contemporary wave of terrorism , in the Middle East began in 1968 – after the end of the "Six Day War" , no groups resembling "Al Queda" have previously emerged. Al Quaeda has moved beyond terrorism, or the status of terrorism and protest and turned into a global insturment with which to compete and challenge Western influence in the Moslem world. Al Qaeda is a worldwide movement capable of mobilizing a new and hitherto unimagined global conflict. Al Quaeda Tratfor www.tratfor.com
