Demonstrate your ability to research and synthesize your findings related to assessing the al Qaeda terrorist network and then critique the counter-terrorism practices that have been employed against them since 9/11. Address both of the below topics.

1.
Evaluate the al Qaeda terrorist group: Describe and assess the varying characteristics of the al Qaeda network including the ‘franchises’ or associated movements. What are the differing scholarly opinions of Al Qaeda and the threat this hydra organization poses?

2.
Critique counter-terrorism practices targeted at al Qaeda: How do the National Strategies for Counter Terrorism from 2003, 2011, and 2018 differ? How do these three security and counter-terrorism practices compare in terms of the terrorism threat faced at their respective publication date, and into the future. Use the frameworks from Yim (2004) and Kean and Hamilton (2017) for comparison.
