Still there ...
The
US Congressional Research Service has looked into the question of whether
Al Qaeda is still up and running. The paper, "
Al Qaeda after the Iraq Conflict", is available online at
http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/21191.pdf and concludes that "
for the time being it seems that Al Qaeda (or its successors) has emerged from a period of inactivity and remains a very serious threat, requiring concentrated attention and vigorous countermeasures on the part of its prospective targets."
