      "title": "Al Qaeda after the Iraq Conflict",
      "summary": "The May 12, 2003, suicide bombings of three Western housing compounds in Riyadh, Saudi\nArabia \nreopened questions about the strength and viability of Al Qaeda in the post-Iraq conflict\nenvironment. The apprehension of a number of senior Al Qaeda leaders in recent months, combined\nwith the absence of major terrorist attacks during the military campaign in Iraq, had led some to\nbelieve that Al Qaeda was severely crippled and unable to launch major attacks. Others argued that\nthe organization was in transition to a more decentralized structure, had gained new recruits, and\nmight even be a growing threat. This report analyzes current viewpoints about the state of Al Qaeda\nand the threat it poses to the United States. It will be updated as events warrant.",
