What is al Qaeda?
Homework:
Your reading for our next class is at this link. Each section begins with a question. Your homework is to answer each question with a single sentence summary statement, except the final question, "What major attacks has al Qaeda been responsible for?" For the final question, briefly analyze the nature of these attacks and write an additional sentence explaining what you see as al Qaeda's overall target: be specific, don't simply write "the US" (which would not even be an appropriate answer).
