Where is Al-Qaeda located?

Answer 1

Taken directly from the CIA Fact book and its reprints from the Global Security Organization.

The headquarters of al-Qaeda are not known anymore. al-Qaeda has known contacts and activities in the following countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Chechnya, Eritrea, Kosovo, the Philippines, Somalia, Tajikistan, and Yemen, and now Kosovo. Additionally, al-Qaida has been linked to conflicts and attacks in Africa, Asia, Europe, the former Soviet Republics, the Middle East, as well as North and South America.

Some terror experts theorize that Al-Qaeda, after the loss of it Afghanistan base, may be increasingly reliant on sympathetic affiliates to carry out it agenda. This includes non-islamic groups that harbor great antipathy toward the United States.

Answer 2

Al Qaeda is based out of Afghanistan, Pakistan, northern Africa and countries across the Middle East. They are a relatively small group, but have found hubs in areas where governments or security are unstable.
