What is the true price of the War on Terror?

President Obama led a moment of silence on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks to remember the lives lost on that day 11 years ago.

Rival Muslim groups control the northern region of Mali.

Narcoterrorists show a remarkable ability to adapt. Taking on Al Qaeda terrorists as passengers is a possibility for these operatives.

The Iraqi wing of Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for a wave of explosions that killed some 50 people across Iraq.

Military officials in Yemen say at least 185 Yemeni soldiers have been killed in attacks by Al-Qaeda militants in southern Yemen.

The Director of U.S. National Intelligence says Al-Qaeda's branch in Iraq was likely behind a series of recent bombings against Syrian government targets.

Reports say a leading Al-Qaeda operative in Yemen has been killed in a family dispute, and that an ensuing battle has left at least 16 other tribesmen dead.

Both internal and external controls must be exerted to stem the tide of Islamist terrorism in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country and world-class producer of oil.

Until they figure out how to use IEDs effectively, Boko Haram may remain just a regional threat. For now.

Bombings by the Boko Haram Muslim sect in Nigeria may have been intended to secure the release of illegal immigrants from Niger and Chad.

People from northern Nigeria are fleeing in terror, following deadly bomb attacks in Kano and elsewhere over the January 20-22 weekend. Northerners, living in southern Nigeria, are returning to ancestral lands. Concerns arise over possible civil war.

The Al-Qaeda in Iraq group has claimed responsibility for a wave of bombings in Baghdad last week that killed 69 people and wounded some 200 more.

Christians set upon self-defence, following inadequate response by Nigeria's government to Islamist terror.

Yemeni officials say that at least 16 prisoners, including suspected members of Al-Qaeda, have escaped from a prison in the southern Yemeni city of Aden.

Night vision goggles and other devices are essential for the US and allies in the war on terror. That's why terrorists want them too.

Boko Haram, an Islamist terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda, is ramping up its security threat to Nigeria and the world's petroleum supply. Suicide bombings and arson claimed more than 100 lives on Nov. 4. The U.S. warns that further attacks are imminent.
