America and al-Qaeda 2014

 Al Qaeda after Bin Laden and the "new middle east" 

With the likes of  the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) advancing in Syria and Iraq, and other al-Qaeda-linked organisations gaining territory and support in places such as Yemen and Somalia; we analyse the factors that have contributed to the emergence and rise of of increasingly emboldened extreme jihadist groups, and examine the policies of the US, as well as the countries most immediately affected, to counter the rising tide of violence. Has the absence of a coherent strategy by the Obama administration empowered the Islamists' cause? Or is Washington simply indifferent to or unalarmed by the new groups that refer to themselves as al-Qaeda?
