Al-Qaida remains top terror threat in new State Dept report
The annual terrorism report says al-Qaida lost some control but stays the leading global terror threat. It highlights Iran as the most active state sponsor and cites 11 000 attacks with over 14 600 deaths, many in Iraq, where extremists still aim to destabilize. Abu Musab al Zarqawi leads in Iraq while al-Qaida links weaken with Afghanistan’s Taliban. Henry Crumpton calls for relentless pressure.
