Al-Qaeda terror threat 'growing' (because of Iraq war)
France's top anti-terrorism judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, has warned that al-Qaeda is now more fragmented and a bigger threat than before.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that al-Qaeda had attracted younger recruits radicalised by the Iraq war.

"We have a multiplication of all the cells, groups and connections," he said, warning that "unknown elements" were being recruited very quickly. (...)

On the al-Qaeda threat, he said "the difficulty that we have is especially with the problem of Iraq... the situation is more confused, more complicated than before".

2. perhaps "we're safer" in his mind, but the world
which he cares nothing about is much more at risk. Which would be obvious to him if he read the paper or watched even the MSM. :eyes:
