Quote by Cofer Black
Al Qaeda is not the organization now that it was before. It is under stress organizationally. Its leadership spends more time trying to figure out how to keep from getting caught than they do trying to launch operations.
Summary
This quote suggests that Al Qaeda's strength and effectiveness as an organization have significantly weakened over time. It implies that the group is facing immense pressure and is struggling to maintain its operational capabilities. Rather than focusing on planning and executing attacks, the leadership is more preoccupied with evading capture. This indicates a decline in Al Qaeda's organizational capacity and underscores the challenges they face in maintaining their previous level of influence and activity.
