    About our Al Qaida news

    Latest news on Al Qaida, covering terrorism, extremism, al-Qaeda, bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, global security and counter-terrorism efforts.

    Al Qaida remains one of the most notorious terrorist organisations in modern history, responsible for numerous attacks including the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United States. Despite significant setbacks over the past two decades, the group continues to operate through a decentralised network of affiliated groups across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.

    Recent intelligence reports indicate the group is attempting to rebuild its capabilities whilst adapting to intensified counter-terrorism efforts. Following the killing of leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in July 2022, the organisation has undergone leadership transitions, with increased activity observed in regions such as the Sahel, Yemen, and Somalia. Security experts warn that the group continues to exploit political instability and governance vacuums to establish footholds in vulnerable regions.

    Beyond the security implications, Al Qaida's activities have profound human impacts on communities worldwide. Local populations in affected regions often face harsh ideological impositions when the group gains territorial control, with particularly severe restrictions on women's rights and religious freedoms. Humanitarian organisations report that civilians frequently become caught between militant groups and counter-terrorism operations.

    The organisation emerged in the late 1980s during the Soviet-Afghan War, founded by Osama bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam. Its evolution from a relatively small militant group to a global network represents one of the most significant security challenges of the 21st century. Historical analysis suggests that understanding the socio-political contexts that enabled its rise remains crucial for developing effective long-term prevention strategies.
