Abstract
After the US-led coalition’s intervention in October 2001, both practitioners and scholars have debated on the shape, size, structure, location, and leadership of Jama’at al Qaeda al-Jihad.1 Has al Qaeda been able to reconstitute itself as a group or is it a diffused network of groups and cells bound by a common ideology? After al Qaeda was dislodged from Afghanistan in late 2001, we argue that al Qaeda has been able to reconstitute itself in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), on the 1520-mile long border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
