Abstract
Eleven years after the tragic events of September 11 and the killing of Osama bin Laden the
world began to believe that the latter marked strategic defeat and the end of Al Qaeda.
During the past year the intelligence agencies announced that the current structure of Al
Qaeda does not have a hierarchy in its structure and that it had been decentralized, without
clear center of gravitation. At first glance, this news may have seemed encouraging and
positive. But the reality is different. The number of terrorist attacks carried out by Al Qaeda
after the death of their leader has risen in 8% as compared to the previous year. Al Qaeda
has used the Arab Spring and created thus the largest shelters and operational bases
throughout the Arab world that it had been striving earlier to create for more than one
decade. After almost two years from the beginning of the Arab revolution and the
decapitation of Al Qaeda, the global Islamic movement became bigger and stronger. The
dissatisfaction from the negative effects from the Arab spring all over the Muslim world was
additional driving force that increased the global Islamic propaganda campaign. In the last
decade the western allies won every battle, but they obviously lose the war against the global
Islamic movement. This paper analyses and redefines the level of threat and the current
condition of Al Qaeda as well as its transformation under the influence of the revolutionary
changes in the Arab world.
