Al Qaeda is one of the wells known transnational terrorist organizations established by Osama bin Laden during the year 1988. The 9/11 radical attack in the US created a threat to the Americans and many nations across the globe. Since this attack, they have been frequent cases of deadly and terrorism across the globe, which are committed by varied terrorist groups. The rebel activities were dynamic during the 1970s to 1980s because of political ideologies. Al Qaeda group has no clear home base, but it maintains cells in diverse nations in Middle East, South East Asia and Europe. Al Qaeda operated military camps in Afghanistan from the year 19996 to 2001. The subsequent trooping that was made by the Taliban regime eliminated this group after the U.S attack. The leadership structure of the terrorist group remained in Afghanistan, and some of them moved to the neighboring country in Pakistan due to the American invasion in 2001. The Al Qaeda terrorist organization has been a threat to the US and many nations. This terrorist group became a considerable speculation subject across the globe; hence the federal government under the current USA president Barrack Obama made significant efforts until the Al Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden was killed.
The Al Qaeda terrorist group is well recognized as a global militant Islamist group, and it can be traced back to the Soviet War, which emerged as political issues in Afghanistan. The Al Qaeda group demands the Muslim community to support their ideological beliefs, and it has made numerous attacks to Christian communities. It has also attacked many civilians and the military groups in many nations across the globe. For instance, the 9/11 attack that contributed to loss of lives and properties, as well as the 2002 bombing in Bali was due to the Al Qaeda terrorist activities. This attacks awakened the US government; thus they responded to the 9/11 attacks and made significant efforts of fighting terrorism in the state. The government also implemented policies that aimed towards improving the security of the homeland. The USA government launched the War against terror, and they culminated the leaders of this terrorist group after they killed their leader, Osama bin Laden.
Daase (2010) argues that terrorist and varied organized crimes across the globe are becoming highly lethal, and many of them occur due to clear political issues. Many politicians have tried to regulate their attacks in order to create attention for their cause and alienate public political support. Others terrorists are religious motivated such as Al Qaida, which is believed to have attacked the U.S Embassies in Africa (Sokullu-Akinci, 2006). This terrorist group lacked a concrete political objective but rather decided to punish their enemies through mass killing of many people. They used suicide bombings and other bombs that created a lot of destruction to business buildings and killed many people mercilessly.
The shift in transnational organized crimes has significantly created a change on the way some of the international terrorist groups are organized. This is because of the ideological or religious beliefs that lack clear political agenda. The Al Qaeda is among these groups, which lack political agenda; thus relies on loose affiliations with the narrow-minded groups from diverse nations to offer them support on terror against the United States. AL Qaeda, which is among these terrorist groups, have made significant efforts of pursuing their own terrorist campaign; thus they call varied militant organizations, which share some common ideological beliefs to offer them support of conducting violent campaigns against the US government. Sokullu-Akinci (2006) reveals that the loosely affiliated terrorism groups are difficult to predict, and many of them rely on numerous sources for logistical support for criminal activities. They employ Internet for communicating about criminal activities, but the federal government has made significant efforts to fight terrorism across the globe.
