Is al-Qaeda Winning, Part One            
Seven years into the global war on terrorism, we ask: is al-Qaeda winning? This documentary series produced for the BBC World Service goes from the Middle East to West Point to find out.
FIRST HALF




A new global poll for the BBC World Service finds that most people do not believe the U.S.-led war on terrorism has weakened its prime target: al-Qaeda. The BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones asks how the West is competing at winning Muslim hearts and minds. He goes from Jordan to West Point in this investigation.
SECOND HALF






The BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones assesses al-Qaeda's hard military capabilities in its key battlegrounds. He speaks with soldiers, spies and scholars on both sides, and was given rare access inside Pakistan's secretive intelligence agency.
