Do You Remember al Qaeda? They Remember You

With attention focused on the Islamic State, it's sometimes easy to forget that United States military forces are still deeply engaged with al Qaeda. And despite repeated claims from the US government that the group is teetering on the brink of defeat, it's becoming increasingly clear that al Qaeda's not dead yet — and that the fight against it is far from over.In October alone, the US military helped disrupt a huge al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and killed, via drone strike, a senior al Qaeda leader living in Syria. The Pentagon announced both counterterrorism victories with little fanfare, and the stories received relatively little media attention.
