  2. With bin Laden gone, strength shifts to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula

    Over the past two years, Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) global operational and ideological reach have added significant strategic depth to the besieged al-Qaida Senior Leadership organization (AQSL) in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now, with the leadership vacuum Osama bin Laden's death has created, coupled with an apparent succession crisis in Yemen, AQAP is likely, over the course of the next year, to displace AQSL as the "vanguard of the Muslim Ummah," as the group characterized itself in December, and become the principal driver of the al-Qaida movement's effort to attack the U.S. and its allies in Europe.

  4. Trying terror suspects in the U.S.: Tough and just

    The debate over how the U.S. deals with suspected terrorists captured outside the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan flared up again last week when the Obama administration announced charges in New York against a Somali man with alleged ties to militant groups in North Africa and the Middle East. The move directly challenges a ban imposed by Congress last year that prohibits the government from transporting Guantanamo Bay detainees captured overseas to this country for trial in civilian courts. The case is also likely to revive long-running controversies over the fate of the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, the role of military commissions in trying terrorist suspects and what rights detainees have during interrogations.
