Al-Qaida Gains Strength In Afghanistan, U.S. Report Says
Foreign Affairs. Al-Qaida has rebuilt some of its pre-Sept. 11 capabilities and terrorist attacks in Afghanistan increased 16 percent last year, the Bush administration said today. The State Department's annual terrorism report says that attacks in Iraq dipped slightly from 2006 to 2007, but still accounted for 60 percent of worldwide terrorism fatalities, the Associated Press reported. More than 22,000 people were killed by terrorists around the world in 2007, 8 percent more than in 2006, although the overall number of attacks fell, the report says.
