The security environment in Southeast Asia has changed significantly
after 9/11. Since the U.S. intervention in Afghanistan in October
2001, Al Qaeda organizers of attacks, financiers, operatives
and other experts have dispersed to lawless zones in the global
south including Southeast Asia. Today, Al Qaeda has ideologically
and operationally penetrated two dozen Islamist parties and
groups including Southeast Asian groups. While waging their
domestic campaigns, some of these groups are cooperating and
coordinating with Al Qaeda to mount operations against the
targets of the U.S., its allies and friends. This talk will
examine the evolving nexus between Al Qaeda and its associated
entities and discuss future likely developments in the region.
