Al Qaeda: Infrastructure and International Jihad

They are franchise terrorists. Working out of basements, toiling in apartments, hiding out in remote areas around the world, hatching plans for terror. They lend their name, al Qaeda, and co-opt the causes of radical Islamic groups in countries the world over. Then they go to work.

A look at al Qaeda by way of Indonesia. How they snagged a foothold in the world's largest Muslim country, and why bombing a Bali nightclub might be just the first blow to the Southeast Asian economy.
