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?

Use the frameworks from Yim (2004) and Kean and Hamilton (2017) for comparison.
