As noted in earlier WAR Reports and echoed in the above article, the al-Qaeda ideology is now arguably the most dangerous aspect of global Islamist extremist and ?al-Qaeda? terrorism in its viral power to engage and inspire individuals and communities susceptible to its salvationist siren to conduct terrorism in the service of its strategic agenda.

This transmission of al-Qaeda ideology has driven the outward growth of the constellation of al-Qaeda-inspired or -associated networks into new fronts where ?vanguard outpost? cells, such as the local operatives involved in the London bombings (Terrorist Incident and Terrorist Incident), conduct swarming autonomous and entrepreneurial attacks in al-Qaeda?s name.
