With respect to ends, they share the same ideology. To emphasize that isil or isis or whatever you a to call is part of a broader transformation, lets call it al qaeda is him, in the last couple of years. In that context, how worried are ,ou that the old al qaeda core perhaps with new leaders coming in, is poised to view resurrected and research as the United States and nato, who draw forces from afghanistan and pakistan .
