Global terror movement evolves into leaderless insurgency
Experts warn of a long, endless threat as al Qaida mutates into a global insurgency. The RAND data show 5,362 terrorism deaths worldwide from March 2004 to March 2005, nearly doubling the prior year. London and Madrid attacks signal a virtual network adapting to softer targets. Analysts urge addressing underlying causes while calling for patience and stronger action against evolving terrorist cells.
