Abstract: Al Qaeda today poses a far different threat from that posed on September 11, 2001. What was once a hierarchical organization composed of Osama bin Laden and his close associates has grown to include an array of regional terrorist groups, small cells, and even individuals. The threat from al Qaeda has evolved significantly over time. What began as a small group of Arab militants in Peshawar, Pakistan in the late 1980s has since morphed into a terrorist 'Hydra' with global reach and, within some quarters, widening appeal. This transition has fundamental implications for the manner in which governments conduct counterterrorism today.
