As casualties mount, report says allies losing war on terror

THE US and her allies are losing the war on terror, with al-Qaida growing in power over the last two years, a British academic warned yesterday.

A report for the Oxford Research Group by Professor Paul Rogers of Bradford University said that more than 350 people have been killed in attacks linked to al-Qaida since September 11, 2001, with more than 1,000 injured.

Rather than military action succeeding in crippling the terror group, al-Qaida has rallied its efforts, said Prof Rogers.
