Al Qaeda was unable to flex its muscles until it found sanctuary in Afghanistan. Exploring why it was not attacked before 9/11, despite the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the authors argue that this was because the Taliban was only part of much wider Islamic network centred on Pakistan.
