a rebel group in syria has told the bbc that al qaeda 5 s -- al qaeda fighters are active in the country. a commander says opposition forces have been offered money, weapons, and other support from the islamic militants but have turned it down. syria restricts assets -- access to journalists, but our reporters have been trying to assess the influence on the syrian revolution. >> syrian rebels -- this looks like a bloody fight just to survive. but the ultimate goal is to overthrow the president. the americans support that. so does al qaeda. ironically, they are on the same side in syria. western governments worry that if they intervene, the wrong people may benefit. they emerged with an internet video. they say are back from other wars to fight in syria. we do not know if the video is genuine, but some believe this is the future in syria. >> their numbers were quite small beginning but they have grown in this time. the hard element, the combat experienced people who come up from libya or iraq not only are of the vanguard but they are pushing out all other forms of opposition. >> the regim

al qaeda was imcapable of that plot. >> he had a vision for al qaeda. >> but relentless air strikes by u.s. predator drone s had taken out most of their leaders. in the documents, bin laden was alarmed at how al qaeda affiliates in places like iraq and yemen were killing more muslims than foreigners. and all of a sudden, people start to say, excuse me, we hate the americans and we still do. but we don't see you guys as a solution either because all you do is kill us. >> bin laden wrote, focus on the desired goal, killing americans. the affiliates ignored bin laden's orders. >> so damaged is al qaeda's image, that bein laden considerd changing his name. >> they were focused on he could igni ignite. incite people who have not yet resoelted to rebel against their rulers. >> hillary clinton told them while bin laden is gone, the threat from al qaeda lives on. >> yes, there is still a lot of danger out there, but i believe we're making progress. it's not just about killing the messenger. you have to take on the message. >> the 175 pages of documents released today were carefully selected to put the worst possibl

and predominantly, we get the tone and tenure of where al qaeda's core believes it's headed, from the releases and the pronouncement the s by now zawiahiri himself or those listd in al qaeda as the -- either the heads of internal and external operations for the different functionarie functionaries. so for many years, you had one or more of the libyans promulgating basic doctrine, and libby who has since deceased. so they get their time in the air, and then they get their time with the drones. and then somebody else steps in. so that's kind of where we hear and see. so we have seen the tacting change here. we have seen them want to reach out and aspire to what i call owe opt, others call franchise, but to co opt some of these local level niche knife groups. and i would argue to you that's important both ways. for the local level groups, it's been important, although we need to watch carefully to see if the importance still resonates after bin laden's death. it's important for the same way the common turn was important for people like the revolutionaries in vietnam, or the revolutionaries in other parts of the world, becau

s latest victory over al qaeda. it's emerged that the latest plot to blow off a plane using an updated underwear bomb was uncovered because a double agent have infiltrated the ranks of a group in yemen. >> yemen's lawless here, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula fights the territory and fights the recruit. u.s. authorities say an undercover agent gets hold of an explosive device. >> it's quite an accomplishment to be able to pass yourself off as an al qaeda terrorist to the terrorists when in fact you're working for a u.s. or allied intelligence agency. >> it's said the bomb was an improved version of this device, known as the june pants bomb which failed to detonate on a passenger plane in detroit on christmas day 2009. but there are still many unanswered questions. how did this anonymous agent infiltrate al qaeda? how did he leave yemen? and who actually recruited him? information from the agent appears to have led to the killing of fahd al-quso in a drone strike on sunday. al qae operative and had escaped from pri

this was the spark al qaeda -- of al qaeda that was significant from -- in altering the movement that metastasized in the 1990's. our interest right now is in recognizing this change. backing of the rhetoric of trying to take on every one of these affiliate groups as though they are some kind of inherent threat to put on the mantle of what bin laden or zawahiri represented. or that he has a steering wheel disembodied from this bus ideology. it is the voices of the islamic world. i have had the privilege of living in saudi arabia and kotter -- qatar. they will find a path for that moves in a more modern without the resort to violence as the only way toward political change which is the underpinning of june autism and which al qaeda moved and bonded together. therefore a very dangerous set of activities that did galvanize our intention -- attention on 9/11. what is it about al qaeda eisa has changed and i have written -- what is it about al qaeda i say has changed and i have written on this and argued that his death is the 80% solution to the unique and acute problem that al qaeda tried to craft itself on top of

bin laden had this complete informants in fact disputed by a lot of the members of the al qaeda in the 1990's that the u.s. was this cowardly country that you could carry out a few attacks and then run for it. they would run for it. but then what happened afterwards? that led to his real strategic plans which they have expressed multiple times not just in open statements and articles written by al qaeda analysts but also in the few captured documents we have from iraq that are public, they are expressed multiple times. here they are. stated repeatedly. basically if you go back, and itch, and read every single statement made by al qaeda's leaders for the past 10 years, these are repeated ad nauseam. fist and foremost to overthrow all the rulers of muslim- majority countries and second to impose their version of sharya in those places and around the world if they are able to do it and third is to create emirates which are states that have very specific characteristics and eventually set up something they call the cal fate, and beyond that they have a fifty objective i don't talk about it, becau
