Al-Qaeda's Evolution 25 Years After September 11 Attacks
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, al-Qaeda has evolved from a centralized terrorist group into a decentralized network with strong regional affiliates across Africa, Yemen, and South Asia. While its core leadership has been weakened by global counterterrorism efforts, its branches maintain territorial control, local governance, and armed influence. The US recently removed some Syria-based groups linked to al-Qaeda from its sanctions list, reflecting shifts in policy and the group's changing dynamics.
