Al'Qaeda....then and now
I have a list of Al'Qaeda attacks I have been looking at. It seems they are far more active after 9-11 than before 9-11. It would seem as if their work would slow down instead speed up...what is the war on terror really doing for the US ?

Between 1993 and 2000 I think there were only 5 attacks, and the thwarted millenium attack


2002

Tunisia 21 dead 14 German tourists
Karachi 14 dead 11 French citizens
Karachi American Consulate 12 dead
Bali 202 dead
Kenya, Hotel 16 dead


2003

Riyadh 34 dead 8 Americans
Morocco 24 dead
Jakarta 12 dead
Riyadh 17 dead
Istanbul 25 dead
Istanbul 26 dead

Not to mention the movement in Iraq

So if this is correct....It means that there were only 5 attacks in the 8 years before 9-11....and there has been 11 attacks since 9-11

You would think a worldwide war against them would slow them down....not speed them up
