Al Qaeda : Terror Tuesday : Impact on South Asia Al Qaeda, or 'The Base', was formed in 1988 by and his associate Mohammed Atef to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet invasion. It serves as a focal point or umbrella outfit for a global network that includes terrorist cells in various - currently estimated at over 60 - countries. The Al Qaeda gradually emerged out of the Maktab al-Khidimat (MAK - the "Services Office") which had maintained and continues to maintain offices in various parts of the world, including Afghanistan, Pakistan (especially Peshawar) and the United States - specifically the Alkifah Refugee Centre in Brooklyn. With the aim of spreading Islamic Caliphate as against the influence of the West, al Qaeda has evolved considerably to emerge as a primary umbrella outfit, which funds and carries out terrorist activity of Islamist terrorists worldwide. The Al Qaeda is reported to have a global reach, and the countries where it maintains a presence include 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, Jammu and Kashmri, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Azerbaijan, Eritrea, Uganda, Ethiopia, as also in parts of the West Bank and Gaza. The dispersed nature of Al Qaeda cadres around the globe has provided Osama bin Laden command over a global terror network with capabilities to carry out lethal terrorist attacks. Osama bin Laden was killed in a military operation by the US Navy Seals in the intervening night of May 1-2, 2011 in his Abbottabad compound in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. This gave a blow to the organisation, but, al Qaeda still remains a threat to international security with its network spread all over the world.
