- Title
The Strategic Failures of al Qaeda.
- Authors
McCABE, THOMAS R.
- Abstract
The article discusses the worldview and strategic failures of the al Qaeda organization and other jihadi groups that have a fundamentalist Wahhabi interpretation of Sunni Islam. The discussion focuses on five strategic mistakes made by al Qaeda and jihadis that are related to misinformation such as alienating the local tribal populations, being indifferent to Muslim casualties, and misreading the U.S.' role in the Middle East. Al Qaeda's staged terrorist events are noted.
