  Al-Qaeda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some organizational specialists have said that Al Qaeda's network structure, as opposed to a hierarchical structure is its primary strength.
But police investigations and subsequent trials showed that while Al Qaeda was believed to have provided expertise and coordination, much of the planning and all the personnel who undertook the attacks came from local radical Islamist groups.
Al Qaeda has been known to establish and foster new groups to further the radical Islamic interest in local conflicts.

 National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
Al Qaeda representatives asked to inspect the uranium and were shown a cylinder about 3 feet long, and one thought he could pronounce it genuine.
Banshiri, al Qaeda's military committee chief, continued to be the operational commander of the cell; but because he was constantly on the move, Bin Ladin had dispatched another operative, Khaled al Fawwaz, to serve as the on-site manager.
Al Qaeda had begun developing the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives-top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them-were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.

 Al Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology - Policy Review, No. 114   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
But this fact gave to the event — in terms of al Qaeda’s fantasy ideology — an even greater poignancy: Precisely because it had not been part of the original calculation, it was therefore to be understood as a manifestation of divine intervention.
The U.S. and its allies were placed in the bizarre position of first having to prove who their enemy was — a difficulty that, by definition, does not occur in Clausewitzian war, where it is essential that the identity of the conflicting parties be known to each other, since otherwise the conflict would be pointless.
For it is likely that in al Qaeda’s collective fantasy there may exist the notion of an ultimate terror act, a magic bullet capable of bringing down the United States at a single stroke — and, paradoxically, nothing comes closer to fulfilling this magical role than the detonation of a very unmagical nuclear device.

 Paul Rogers, The prospects for Al Quaeda
Al Qaeda and its associates have been maintaining a level of activity over the past sixteen months that is actually higher than in the months leading up to the New York and Washington atrocities.
Away from al Qaeda itself, Chechen rebels laid siege to a Moscow theater and, more recently, bombed the Russian administrative building in Grozny that was presumed to provide the greatest place of safety in the city for Russian civilians.
Al Qaeda has always been a partially dispersed network, and what is now significant is its greater concentration on this aspect of its organization, a process aided by increasing support for at least some of its overall aims.

Saudi officials, worried over attacks against U.S. servicemen in Saudi Arabia in 1995 and 1996, agreed to finance Al Qaeda in exchange for a promise the group would not try to destabilize the Saudi government and would not carry out terror attacks in the kingdom, according to the suit.
The suit has been denounced as a "bogus, politicized lawsuit" by lawyer Katib al Shamri, who has filed a class-action lawsuit in the United States on behalf of Taliban prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay and Saudis in the United States allegedly mistreated in the wake of the terror attacks.

 INDC Journal: The Al Quaeda Next Door?
This report (via Instapundit) about the US quietly expelling dozens of Saudi diplomats that were "suspected of helping promulgate Al Qaida ideology" can be supported with an anecdotal firsthand observation: I live a block away from what used to be a second Saudi Diplomatic Office that was separate from the official embassy.
Was an Al Quaeda propaganda or recruiting office operating one block from my apartment and less than one mile from the White House?!
Rather than worry about the Saudi diplomatic staff promulgating al Qaeda ideology, you should be worrying that the entire government of Saudi Arabia promulgates the Wahhabi ideology, which then manifests itself as the al Qaeda ideology.

For now I will remind you that one of the reasons that Bin Laden turned his sights on the US is that during the 1st Gulf War Bin Laden had offered to use his troops to oust the Iraqis from Kuwait.

Referring to a statement that claimed responsibility and was attributed to a group allegedly affiliated with al Qaeda that was received by a London-based Arabic-language newspaper, the U.S. official said "keep in mind we often see false claims of responsibility," and that even for attacks it did commit, "al Qaeda frequently takes no public credit."
Khalid al-Shami, political editor of Al Quds Al Arabi newspaper in London, told CNN the letter was from Abu Hafs al-Masri, which he said was affiliated with al Qaeda.
But intelligence sources have consistently told CNN that Abu Hafs al-Masri does not speak for al Qaeda, and there is a question about whether it exists at all beyond one person with a computer and a fax machine.
