Since 11 September 2001, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) has been a major topic of both our military and political agendas within the United States. The United States waged war with Iraq based upon this most important tenet of ridding former President Saddam Hussein of his ability to affect the United States with his WMD arsenal. About the same time, military focus also shifted priorities towards the location of Osama bin Ladin, the notorious, stealthy figure head believed to currently direct the Al Qaeda terrorist group activities.

Since 11 September 2001, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) has been a major topic of both our military and political agendas within the United States. The United States waged war with Iraq based upon this most important tenet of ridding former President Saddam Hussein of his ability to affect the United States with his WMD arsenal. About the same time, military focus also shifted priorities towards the location of Osama bin Ladin, the notorious, stealthy figure head believed to currently direct the Al Qaeda terrorist group activities. To that end, the United States Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense have both sustained significant resources and effort into identifying, detecting, actively pursuing, and ultimately, negating the both the leadership and the subsequent WMD threat that terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda may use to attempt coercion and manipulation of the United States political and military use of its instruments of power. This paper attempts to identify the Al Qaeda history and current organization, and highlight its known weapons financing and procurement practices. I will further discuss previous activity of Al Qaeda and its known attempts to procure and use WMD. This research will also discuss the United States' intervention and opposition measures, and finally summarize with a supported opinion that Al Qaeda may in fact attain the ability to secure some form of WMD, but will encounter significant obstacles in attempting to utilize them against the United States within the next quarter century.
