Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb today claimed responsibility for an attack on Monday that killed seven policemen near the capital of Algeria.
In Afghanistan, Coalition forces began Operation Achilles, a major attempt to regain control of the south. One British soldier has been killed so far. The operation has already begun to yield fruit, in the form of several captures of Taliban and al-Qaeda officials.
One of the officials, Taliban commander Mullah Mahmud, was apprehended while demonstrating a surprising trend towards a more tolerant view of sexual mores on the part of the Taliban, as al-Jazeera has reported he was dressed in, of all things, a burqa. It is unknown what attitude his wife has taken towards his cross-dressing.

In your opinion how many of the acts that Al-Qaeda takes responsibility for are they actually behind? And if it's a high number doesn't that prove that George's war strategy sucks?

On that note Sergei I think I better go to bed :)
I think their claim is credible. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb used to be the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (or something like that), which was/is by far the largest terrorist group in Algeria.
