摘要
The purpose of this paper is to explore the origins,objectives,ideology,motivation,leadership structure,targets,strategies,tactics,and future of Al Qaeda.The past nearly two decades have seen the degrading,destruction,and dispersing of Al Qaeda across the Middle East and Africa but it still exists.Since 9/11 and the demise of Osama Bin Laden Al Qaeda has quietly worked at rebuilding itself across the globe using a franchising or licensing of affiliates across dozens of nations.So,it is essential that the study and analysis of this organization continue,so that it is finally destroyed and its ideas discredited and dismissed.
