Encyclopedia: Al-Qaeda
The United Nations Security Council[2] and several UN member states[3][4][5][6][7] have labeled Al-Qaeda a terrorist organization. Its affiliates have executed multiple attacks against targets in various countries, the most prominent being the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, DC. In response to the September 11 attacks, the United States government launched a broad military and intelligence campaign, known as the War on Terrorism, with the goal of dismantling Al-Qaeda and killing or capturing its operatives. Al-Qaeda does not have a formal structure but recruits field operatives to work independently in support of its goals.
Due to its lack of formal structure, al-Qaeda's size and degree of responsibility for particular attacks are difficult to establish. While the governments opposed to al-Qaeda claim that it has worldwide reach,[8] other analysts have suggested that those governments, as well as Osama himself, exaggerate al-Qaeda's significance in Islamist terrorism.[9] The neologism "Al-Qaedaism"[10] is applied to the wider context of those who independently conduct similar acts through political sympathy to al-Qaeda ideology or methods or the copycat effect.
