Abstract

Pursuant to the consequences of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, researchers, analysts as well as experts in politics have defined this
event as a war. However, Al Qaeda is not a state, but a non-state actor, i.e.
a global terrorist organization. Despite the fact that the state, deemed the
sanctuary of this terrorist organization is considered guilty of the attacks,
the main goal was to destroy non-state enemies. In other words, the most
powerful country in the world began a defensive war against a non-state
armed group.
During a short period, the American government described the
global post-con�ict environment as an area where the USA is expected to
intervene in �ghting non-conventional and asymmetric enemies. In their
opinion, such enemies represent a great, even strategic threat jeopardizing
security which is why the USA announced a global anti-terrorist war. Ten
years after the 9/11 attacks, there is still a lack of consensual agreement
regarding the current status of Al Qaeda. While some claim that Al Qaeda
is weaker now than it was in 2001, others warn that it still presents a serious
international threat.
Based on a thorough analysis of the mutating nature of symmetric
threats during the past decade, a new asymmetric battle field will be identified
as well as new operating manners characteristic of global asymmetrical
enemies deemed the biggest direct threat to international security.
