al Qaida Imploding

According to some US officials, al Qaida is imploding and muslims have been turned off by it's violent actions against muslims. Even if this is true, this does not mean that the war is almost over. There are countless other jihadist groups out there with the same goals as al Qaida.

Top US counterterrorism officials Monday said al-Qaida is imploding and that its violent tactics have turned Muslims worldwide against the organization.

"Absolutely it's imploding. It's imploding because it's not a message that resonates with a lot of Muslims," said Dell Dailey, the State Department's coordinator for counterterrorism.

Of more concern are organizations like Lebanese Hizbullah and Hamas, which combine social services, local governance and national politics with extremist attacks, said Undersecretary of State James Glassman.[...]

US intelligence agencies caution against predicting Al-Qaida's demise too soon, noting its Pakistan safe harbor and the persistent efforts of its affiliates to conduct attacks in North Africa and elsewhere.
