WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, The Associated Press has learned.More than 4,000 dead, 30,000-40,000 wounded, $700 billion spent, and for what?
The conclusion suggests that the group that launched the most devastating terror attack on the United States has been able to regroup along the Afghan-Pakistani border despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.
It's like a scene from a horror flick where they drive all night long only to end up going in a circle and back to where they started from.
