Part 8/11:
Counterterrorism experts and security analysts advocate for a comprehensive reassessment of U.S. and allied strategies. Recommendations include:
Enhanced Intelligence Collection: Prioritize gathering actionable intelligence on al-Qaeda’s networks, especially operating in regions like Afghanistan, Syria, and North Africa.
Targeted Operations: Conduct more aggressive drone strikes, raids, and covert operations on known camps and safe havens, including in Afghanistan.
Better Vetting and Screening: Improve screening procedures at borders and airports to prevent terrorists from entering using false identities.
