Citing a New York Times article from February 4, 2000, journalist Peter Bergen wrote: “Al-Qaeda has also attracted followers in the United States–in New York, Boston, Texas, Florida, Virginia, and California; and in the United Kingdom–in London and Manchester. Bin Laden adherents have been arrested in places as disparate as Jordan, Seattle, France, Uruguay, and Australia.”
