Al-Qaida Tops Suspect List
1630 GMT, 010911
Osama bin Laden's organization , Al Qaida, is the
prime suspect
in the spate of attacks against the United States.
Based in
Afghanistan, the group has been linked to a series of
attacks on
U.S. assets around the world and has repeatedly
threatened to
strike the United States within its own borders.
An umbrella organization with an operational reach
that stretches
around the globe, Al-Qaida has been extremely
successful at
maintaining a high level of security and secrecy.
Despite the intelligence efforts of several world
powers, bin
Laden's organization has continued to support or
facilitate acts
of international terrorism. No nation has successfully
penetrated
the organization.
This is partly due to the fact that Al-Qaida operates
as an
umbrella group supporting a host of cells around the
world. The
organization develops autonomous cells capable of
operating
individually without a central command. Additionally,
Al-Qaida
coordinates operations and activities with various
other militant
organizations around the world. The hierarchy of the
relationships remains unknown.
Bin Laden himsefl has repeatedly threatened acts of
terrorism
against the United States, and Al-Qaida was pinpointed
in the
attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in
1998.
Bin Laden, a Saudi, has operated from Afghanistan for
several
years. The Taliban, a radical Muslim authority that
rules most of
Afghanistan, has denied responsibility for the attacks
on New
York City and Washington, D.C.

Who is the DFLP?
1515 GMT, 010911
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (DFLP) has
reportedly claimed responsibility for the
attacks on the World
Trade Center. This report, fromm a television
station in Abu
Dhabi, in unconfirmed.
The DFLP was formed in 1969 with an estimated
membership of 500.
It was originally based in Syria, but the
location of its current
headquarters are unknown. The DFLP receives
financial and
military aid from Syria and Libya. It operates
in Syria, Lebanon,
Israel and the occupied territories. Its leader
is Naif Hawatmeh,
according to Israeli-based Interdisciplinary
Center.
The group was largely dormant from 1988 until
this summer, when
it claimed responsibility for an Aug. 25 attack
against an
Israeli military post in the Gaza Strip that
left three Israeli
soldiers dead. This attack was the first
instance of Palestinians
successfully using conventional military-style
tactics.
Before this year, DFLP operations have always
taken place either
inside Israel or the West Bank and Gaza. Typical
acts include
minor bombings and grenade attacks, as well as
operations to
seize hostages and attempts to negotiate the
return of Israeli-
held Palestinian prisoners.
The group split from the Palestinian Front for
the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP) years ago, but reconciled with
the PFLP - and
with Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat
- in August 1999.
The attacks differ significantly from the DFLP's
previous methods
of operation. Likewise, the resources and
infrastructure
necessary for such attacks are far beyond the
group's traditional
means. Either the DFLP's claims are spurious, or
it has joined
forces with other groups.
