Al Queda's Threat to the United States

The Evolving Al-Qaeda Threat

The large group of Al Qaeda is a major threat to the United States.  They are a very dangerous organized group that are very capable of committing terrorist attacks against us or attacking us or our troops in Iraq.  Al Qaeda is one of the major reasons that we are still in Iraq.  If we were to leave Iraq, it would be unknown what Al Queda would do to the United States knowing what they are capable of:  "Al-Qaeda remains a potent threat to the United States, its allies, and a wide variety of other states".  They are not only a threat to us, but also to any other country or state in the world.  They are capable of attacking any country, or even creating weapons of mass destruction to destroy a civilization.

Al Qaeda still a threat to U.S., intelligence chiefs say

Another huge threat that Al Qaeda posses is their increase in number and strength.  They are increasing in number, and training more people in order to become part of the Al Qaeda:  "The bad news is that a new influx of Western recruits – including American citizens – are being trained in Al Qaeda camps in Pakistan. These recruits would be able to more easily enter and move about the US than foreign operatives".  By there being more members of Al Qaeda, there posses a bigger threat to the rest of the world because they are getting larger and more powerful.  Also, by American citizens joining it, it makes it that much easier for an attack on the United States to happen.
