Drawing on information from extensive interviews carried out for several BBC television documentary programmes, this book traces the evolution of Al Qaeda from the Soviet Afghan war to mid 2002. Notes failed attacks in Europe, more recent succesful attacks in Pakistan and India, and concludes that Al Qaeda is still capable of mounting terrorist attacks.
