Foreign Affairs and RealClearDefense published analyses charting the rise and fall of global jihadism and detailing how al-Qaeda ended. Later reporting from Newsweek, Khaama Press, and GZERO Media expanded on these assessments by focusing on the 25-year mark since 9/11 and analyzing the shifting geography of terrorism.
While Foreign Affairs outlined the conclusion of al-Qaeda, Khaama Press and Newsweek reported that the network remains active in Afghanistan and that the United States faces threats from a new epicenter of global terrorism as the global network shifts. Current coverage does not yet specify future counterterrorism strategies, leaving the immediate trajectory of the newly identified terrorism epicenter and remaining networks unstated.
