The Inquiry

The Inquiry

A deadly al-Qaeda attack on an Ivory Coast resort town in March reminded the world that the terror network once led by Osama bin Laden has not gone away. But in recent years it has been eclipsed and diminished by the so-called Islamic State group. IS has attracted not just global attention, but fighters and funds too. So how depleted is the group which in 2001 triggered Americaโ€™s โ€œglobal war on terrorโ€? In other words: what happened to al-Qaeda?
