Al-Qaedas long list of crimes provides us with enough proof regarding the threat they pose to the nations across the world. It is simply outrageous to accuse the US of having links with Al-Qaeda, and it only leaves one wondering about the impact of conspiracy theories. The truth is that this terrorist organization masterminded the deadly attacks on 9/11, and left the US with no choice but to go after them with full force. The hard work of the US and NATO forces in the region has long forced Al-Qaeda to run for cover, and the results prove that they have now resorted to these acts of desperation. The killing of their leader (OBL) was another huge setback, and Al-Qaeda has been trying to retaliate ever since. Dear readers, lets not forget that they have been preying upon the innocents, whether Americans or Pakistanis, to achieve their dark and evil agenda. The kidnapping of this 70 year old aid worker is not only reminiscent of their terrorist ways, but once again reminds us of the threat they pose to our society. The times are difficult, and our alliance is facing a severe challenge at the moment, but it is easy to see that those who pose a threat to our nations are staying focused on trying to achieve their evil objectives.
