Analysts: Al-Qaeda Remains Lethal Inspirational Force
Agence France Press correspondent Karl Malakunas, writing from Singapore, reported in a July 8, 2005 dispatch that, "Fuelled by the Iraq war, Al-Qaeda's ability to inspire and direct Islamic radicals around the world has grown over recent years despite its own organizational structure being diminished, analysts say.
"Although Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network has had many leaders captured or killed since carrying out the spectacular September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, it has succeeded in spawning countless copycat groups, they say," according to Mr. Malakunas.
He quotes Andrew Tan, a security analyst with Singapore's Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, as saying, "The threat has morphed beyond Al-Qaeda itself. It has become a more generalized ideological threat with localized groups that have adopted the ideology as well as the operational methods of Al-Qaeda."
