The CIA’s 2006 National Intelligence Estimate, released on September 26, 2006, “said that although the U.S. effort had seriously damaged the leadership of Al Qaeda and disrupted its operations, ‘a large body of all-source reporting [from around the world] indicates that activists identifying themselves as jihadists…are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion. If this trend continues, threats to U.S. interests at home and abroad will become more diverse, leading to increasing attacks.’ ”
