Al-Qaida weakened by global war on terror - Bush

US President George Bush said today the US-led global war on terror has “weakened and fractured” al-Qaida and allied groups, outlining as proof new details about the multinational cooperation that foiled terrorist plans to fly a commercial aeroplane into the tallest skyscraper on the West Coast of the US.

“The terrorists are living under constraint pressure and this adds to our security,” Bush said.
