al Qaeda's New Caliphate


As domestic support for the U.S. occupation of Iraq continues to decline, American withdrawal is no longer a question of "if," but "when" and "how soon."

    EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION:

    Tracking The Document Trail:
    Oklahoma City and al Qaeda

    An INTELFILES/INTELWIRE exclusive report on the Oklahoma City bombing examines suspected links between the two known conspirators — Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols — and the sprawling network of al Qaeda operatives known to be active in the U.S. during the early 1990s.

    This analysis features material which has never been reported before. The analysis is extensively documented, and INTELWIRE will work with media outlets that wish to verify specific claims.
