The August issue of JIR included a comprehensive report on the 
organisation and methods of Al-Qaeda. This report can be purchased 
separately for £30/$44 and will be delivered via email upon

of a valid credit card transaction. 

Below is an extract:

Al-Qaeda ('The Base') is a conglomerate of groups spread throughout 
the world operating as a network. It has a global reach, with a 
presence in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Jordan, Tajikistan, 
Uzbekistan, Syria, Xinjiang in China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, 
Myanmar, Indonesia, Mindanao in the Philippines, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi 
Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia, Bosnia, Kosovo, 
Chechnya, Dagestan, Kashmir, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, 
Azerbaijan, Eritrea, Uganda, Ethiopia, and in the West Bank and Gaza.

Since its creation in 1988, Osama bin Laden has controlled Al-Qaeda. 
As such, he is both the backbone and the principal driving force 
behind the network. . . .

. . . Vertically, Al-Qaeda is organised with Bin Laden, the emir-
general, at the top, followed by other Al-Qaeda leaders and leaders 
of the constituent groups. Horizontally, it is integrated with 24 
constituent groups. The vertical integration is formal, the 
horizontal integration, informal. Immediately below Bin Laden is the 
Shura majlis, a consultative council. Four committees - military, 
religio-legal, finance, and media - report to the majlis. Handpicked 
members of these committees - especially the military committee - 
conduct special assignments for Bin Laden and his operational 
commanders. To preserve operational effectiveness at all levels, 
compartmentalisation and secrecy are paramount.
