Al Qaeda has been weakened to point where they are not able to launch attacks against US or other western targets so they have reached out to other terrorist groups who can.
Al Qaeda isn't the problem....the problem is islamofascism and al Qaeda is just one part of it. NPR
Intelligence officials tell NPR that in 2009, the Obama administration killed more senior al-Qaida leaders in drone attacks in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan than the Bush administration did in the three years prior. And officials say it's had a telling impact on how the group is communicating, raising money and planning operations — it's having trouble doing all three.
Despite that progress, officials think 2010 could see even more activity by terrorists focused on the U.S.
Intelligence officials say that's partly because al-Qaida is reaching out to affiliate groups, such as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and the Pakistani Taliban, to launch terror attacks for them.
