Since the problems on Sept 11, 2001, the globe has struggled to identify al-Qaeda, an amorphous, growing, and apparently inexhaustible firm. Once a comparatively organized group based in one country with a defined hierarchy and clear control, al-Qaeda has altered into a transnational occurrence over the last few decades, with branches and affiliate marketers operating in dozens of countries around the world. Many call al-Qaeda an opponent, while some define it as an ideology, among others assess it as a network. Obviously, a little minority requires it up as their cause and an extension of their religious beliefs. The difficulty of defining al-Qaeda is reflected by the many ways the Arabic word qaeda can be translated. The most frequent translation is "bottom part" or "base", however the word can also be used more ambiguously to mean "method", "principle", or "solution". Some maintain that the first founders of al-Qaeda were envisioning the name in the last mentioned sense, while others assume that the name was applied to the group by outside forces. Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda, explained in a February 2002 interview that the name al-Qaeda was "established a long time ago by mere chance", and that the group's training camp was called al-Qaeda ("the bottom part"), a name that came to symbolize his entire firm. Even greater irritation arises when attempting to in physical form identify what group or teams constitute al-Qaeda. Are teams that pledge allegiance to al-Qaeda considered area of the franchise? Is there a difference between your "al-Qaeda central" based in Pakistan and the many affiliates and affiliates scattered around the world. If so, what is the relationship between them? While both teams have sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda's central control, is al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen fighting for the same cause as al-Shabaab in Somalia or ISIS in Iraq and Syria?
