How real is the threat posed by al-Qaeda?

“Al Qaeda is perhaps the most dangerous terrorist threat facing the United States. Al Qaeda is a Sunni-Arab organization with several distinct enemies in the Middle East: Israel, which it considers a creation of Zionists working through the United Nations, in collaboration with the United States and Great Britain; the Saudi Arabia monarchy, which it regards as a corrupt collaborator with the United States; and Shiite Muslims, headquartered in Iran and with strongholds in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. It is dedicated to the removal of these and all other regimes that it characterizes as obstacles to al Qaeda’s goal of creating a Sunni-Arab caliphate in the Middle East.”

Tais ataques não especificados não excluem outros países ocidentais.
