The jihad-change and continuation

Article Abstract:

The global jihad has evolved into a broad-based social movement since 9/11 and it is not longer confined to the closely-knit organization of former mujahidin that trained in Afghan camps and responded to operational instructions provided by the al-Qaeda war council. The war in Iraq has both intensified the jihad and eroded the ability of Western governments to fight back and the Western officials have conceded that they have not developed a strategy to manage the long-term threat from the jihadists.
