Border Security White Papers

Countering: Al Qaeda

Overview Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has achieved significant successes in its war on terrorism. Removing the Taliban government in Afghanistan, thereby eliminating Al-Qaeda's sanctuary and training camps, has broken an important link in the process that once provided Al-Qaeda's leadership with a continuing flow of recruits. Toppling the Taliban also demonstrated American resolve and international support, and it underscored the considerable risk run by governments that provide assistance to terrorists.
