The new leader of Al Qaeda has issued a statement to mark 9/11.
Needless to say it includes the usual ‘death to america/israel/etc’ rhetoric.
But it also included praise for the Arab Spring democracy movement on the theory that all the fallen governments were western puppets. For those who questioned who might take the place of the old dictators, this kind of praise isn’t encouraging.
I’m not sure AQ is much of a threat anymore, there are newer radical terror movements that seem to have more power, but you never want to entirely ignore what they say.
