Al-Qaeda operatives
Al-Qaeda operatives are members of a militant Islamic organization founded in the late 1980s by Osama bin Laden. The group aims to establish a global Islamic caliphate and opposes Western influence in Muslim countries. Operatives are involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks, often against civilian targets, to further their political and ideological goals. Their activities gained global attention through high-profile attacks, notably the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. Al-Qaeda continues to inspire various jihadist groups worldwide, despite significant efforts to dismantle its leadership and operational network.
