Records Before Publishing Bin Laden Lamented The “Disaster”

A year after the death of Osama bin Laden want the United States will this week publish records that were seized from the hideout in the use of Al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan. The documents complaining bin Laden, among other things, that his organization “disaster after disaster” suffered, said the most important anti-terrorism adviser to the U.S. Government, John Brennan. The documents should be released in the coming days on the website of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Before his death, was the Al-Qaeda leader thought about a new name for his group to get them back to make it more attractive, said Brennan. Bin Laden had complained that the U.S. is now no longer the “war on terror” and spoke of fewer Muslims felt insulted. His followers of al-Qaeda leader was asked to avoid the Pakistani tribal areas, where they had to fear U.S. aerial surveillance and bombardments.

Drones weakened group

A year after the death of bin Laden’s Al Qaeda drew Brennan of the image of a weak organization that will be defeated in the course of this decade. Al-Qaeda suffered among others by U.S. drone attacks, “bad” losses and was only a “shadow of its former self,” said the anti-terrorism expert.

The core of the Al Qaeda leadership would soon be “not relevant”. Due to the ongoing persecution in Pakistan’s tribal areas, Al Qaeda has fewer places to educate their children. The recruitment of new members she experienced increasingly difficult. “The morale is bad,” concluded Brennan.

Whether by the tactics of the U.S. government in the fight against terrorism of Al-Qaeda nearly impossible to plan large-scale, potentially catastrophic attacks and to perpetrate. “Al-Qaeda has only a handful of capable leaders and officials and in view of the ongoing persecution of their pressure on the road to destruction.”

Brennan also stressed, consider the threat to the world from terrorists. “While the core of Al-Qaeda is tottering, he tries to transfer his murderous mission to his followers and branches,” warned the expert. Troubling example is the merger of Al-Qaeda with the Islamist Shebab militia in Somalia. The group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) ask remains a threat

Since the attacks of 11 September 2001 on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, with nearly 3,000 dead Bin Laden, public enemy number one in the United States. Nearly a decade ago, he could hide until the U.S. intelligence tracked down him and his family in Pakistan’s Abbottabad. A U.S. special forces stormed the property in the night of 2 May 2011 and shot the Al-Qaeda leader.
