After reading the assigned pages of Baghdad Burning I wanted to know more about Al-Qaeda, and why it was such a big name in Iraq. After doing research I found out that Al-Qaeda is an international alliance of Sunni Islamic oragizations that was founded in 1988 by a man named Abdullah Yusuf Azzam but who was later replaced with Osama Bin Landen. Al-Qaeda has had many attacks against civilian and military targets in various places around the world. Al-Qaeda has been named a terrorist oraganization by many countires inclueding the US. Due to Al-Qeada’s secrecy, structure, its size and dregree of responsibility for particular attacks they are difficult to establish. I feel as if Riverbend and her family everyday are worried about attacks or being caught in a cross fire, because Al-Qeada attacks its own people and doesnt even care. Al-Qeada is talked about alot during Riverbend’s post just because the face that everyday she has to deal with trying to keep her and her family safe.
