Al-Qaeda In Search of the Terror Network That Threatens the World

At the end of April 2003, when BBC correspondent Jane Corbin returned from Iraq, she was invited onto several American television shows to discuss the success of the war on terror. The Washington Post had carried an article suggesting al-Qaeda was all but vanquished. A State Department official claimed that al-Qaeda's low profile during the Iraq war showed that it was "almost crippled." Corbin disagreed with this analysis and argued especially with Fox News's gung-ho presenters that Bin Laden was not someone who conformed to the American news media's agenda. She warned that they were tempting fate to write him and al-Qaeda off. Less than a month later, al-Qaeda launched devastating attacks in Saudi Arabia and Morocco.Corbin, Jane is the author of 'Al-Qaeda In Search of the Terror Network That Threatens the World' with ISBN 9781560255239 and ISBN 1560255234.
