Al Qaeda has been struggling to produce another attack of the same magnitude as the attack on the world trade centers in 2001. Security officials believe that the Mumbai attacks in 2008 may serve as a example for future attacks. It is now becoming harder for them to use explosives due to suspicious. They believe that Al Qaeda may target areas with weaker economies due to it being easier to pull off. They also say how Bin Laden in still a key guy in the operations but is not as important in plotting out attacks. Al Qaeda had also confessed to plotting to carry out suicide bombings on the New York subway system earlier this year. The overall concept of this article was that even though Al Qaeda may be small that they still have the ability to launch deadly attacks.
