    News, Published on 08/09/2014

    » The claim by al-Qaeda that it is expanding its "franchise" into India, Bangladesh and Myanmar must be taken seriously. The official leader of the terrorist organisation, Ayman al-Zawahiri, said he was "taking the fight" to new regions. He appointed a known Pakistani terrorist as head of the new South Asian branch of Al-Qaeda. It is a real terrorist threat against the region. It also is bad news for al-Qaeda.
