Al-Qaeda finds three safe havens - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums

Al-Qaeda finds three safe havens for terror training
Michael Evans, Defence Editor
Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Ladens terrorist organisation, driven out of Afghanistan and defeated in Iraq, is re-emerging in strength in three alternative safe havens for training, operational planning and recruiting Pakistan, Somalia and Algeria according to Western intelligence and defence sources.
The core al-Qaeda headquarters in the tribal areas of Pakistan pose the gravest threat to the United Kingdom.
But in Somalia and in Algeria, where the so-called al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb was set up in 2004 as a powerful bin Laden offshoot, the organisation is recruiting energetically and its leaders are beelieved to have aspirations to hit Western targets.
There has been increasing evidence of bin Ladens network rebuilding in Pakistan.
The main figures are now well entrenched in the tribal areas, and although American Predator and Reaper surveillance drones, armed with Hellfire missiles and precision-guided bombs, remain in the region to eliminate al-Qaeda commanders, it seems the terrorist leaders can still communicate with each other.
The 38 countries with troops based in Afghanistan are fighting to prevent al-Qaeda ever again using the country as a safe haven, but the core al-Qaeda leaders have settled down in Pakistan and, from there, keep in contact with their main franchises in Somalia and Algeria.
Two al-Qaeda leaders have been killed this year by Predator attacks, and another, Abu Ubaida al-Masri, head of external relations, died of natural causes.
But one American estimate is that up to 2,000 militants, many of them foreigners, are in training compounds in Pakistan.
Al-Qaeda also appears not to be short of experienced operational commanders.
One senior figure who was responsible for carrying out research into nuclear, chemical and biological systems when the organisation was in Afghanistan, is believed to be involved in trying to produce unconventional weapons to target the West.
That is known to be al-Qaedas top ambition.

To defeat terrorism world wide, we'd literally have to go on a crusade.
Africa and Pakistan are the worst places.
We need to somehow get India involved as active ally,

After reading some articles of how the USA secret services rely in second, third and fouth hand info to detain "suspects" that went to Gitmo, i am sure that this "War in Terror" will keep forever.
The USA is making recruits for Al-Quaeda and its cronies in mass.

Really, you suggest then we should have ignored communism then and let them expand as they wish, same thing with the Isalmic extremist?
To address the depossessed by life ?

lol wut?
I assume you are talking about Afghanistan
Pakistan has ALWAYS been a stronghold, no matter what was done in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda was always going to be able to regroup in Pakistan, along the tribal regions, or acting in Kashmir.
The problem is that Musharref has struggled to do much against them, and Pakistan has little in the way of alternative governments.
