Take an in-depth look at the Al Qaeda terrorist organization. We discuss the historical origins of the group and how it has evolved and changed over time while examining the roles of Osama Bin Laden and other leaders. We also unravel the complex organizational structure, describe how Al Qaeda operates and how its functioning has been impacted by the war on terror. We end with an assessment of our safety now versus the days immediately following 9/11.
