This report, published annually by the US Department of State, highlights terrorism trends and ongoing issues in 2010 and provides detailed analysis by country. The report shows that in 2010 Al-Qa’ida (AQ), its formal affiliates and informal allies, remained the preeminent terrorist threat to the United States. Though the AQ core in Pakistan has become weaker, it retained the capability to conduct regional and transnational attacks. Cooperation between AQ and Afghanistan- and Pakistan-based militants was critical to the threat the group posed.
