Al Qaida A terrorist organization founded in the late 1980s. It was established in Pakistan to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Its ideology is based on a certain interpretation of the writings of Sayid Qutb, who argued that "true" Islam had been lost over the years and has to be recovered. It is best known for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which, among other things, destroyed the World Trade Center in the United States and served as the impetus for subsequent American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since 2001, Al Qaida has become more decentralized, with various otherwise unrelated groups claiming the name as they conduct terrorist or other activities in different countries.

Baghdad: Over the past few months a covert plan has been developed and implemented by the US army and Iraqi government to gradually bring Al Qaida members in Mesopotamia to Diylala province "Part of this plan is to facilitate the movement of Al Qaida gunmen from Baghdad and Nineveh province to Diyala, in preparation for the strike which will be announced after achieving final victory on Al Qaida in Iraq," sources close to Iraqi army chief of staff Babekyr Zibari, told Gulf News. Recent remarks by Iraqi and US officials about Al Qaida activities in Iraq and the confiscation of documents belonging to the group have strengthened the belief that Al Qaida's collapse is imminent.
