The Center on Law and Security

New York University School of Law

A center of experts committed to promoting an informed understanding of the legal and security issues defining the post 9/11 era.

The conventional wisdom today is that Al-Qaeda the organization is more or less finished and Al-Qaeda the ideological movement has risen in its place. The London bombings raise questions about the conventional wisdom.
