Al-Qaeda  (alternatively spelled al-Qaida or al-Qai'da) is a militant Islamist organization. In the normal timeline, Al-Qaeda is most notably responsible for the 1998 Embassy Bombings, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing , the 9\11 Attacks , and other terrorist events. In the alternate timeline, Al-Qaeda is still responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center Bombings, but not 9\11 (as the TACITUS saga occurs in an alternate universe where the 9\11 event we know about in the modern timeline was prevented).
==In TACITUS series==
In the alternate universe that forms the main setting of the TACITUS series, Al-Qaeda still comes into existence, but is not responsible for the 9\11 attacks like in the normal timeline. However, the Islamic State of New Palestine is still a splinter group of Al-Qaeda and fights against the latter organization.
