U.S. House Intelligence Committee Releases Al Qaeda Report
By Andrew Cochran
Yesterday, the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a 40-page report, "Al Qaeda: The Many Faces of an Islamist Extrmist Threat" (large Acrobat file). The report labels Al Qaeda "the single most important terrorist threat to U.S. national security" and discusses some of the major Sunni extremist groups allied with Al Qaeda. Among the exhibits are maps, provided by Steven Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism, of worldwide radical Islamist cells since 1996, of sources of Al Qaeda financing, and of terrorist groups in the U.S.since 1991. I will post those maps here today and save the report on our CT Library page.
