Is al-Qaeda Winning, Part TWO            
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




Owen Bennett-Jones speaks to leading officials at the U.S. Treasury and the U.N. Security Council's al-Qaeda and Taliban monitoring committee, as he investigates the financial side of the war on terrorism.
SECOND HALF






This documentary examines jihad rehab – efforts to reform rather than kill violent jihadis. For instance, the Saudis have converted a holiday camp outside Riyadh where al-Qaeda sympathizers receive art and religious therapy, as well as money to marry and settle down. Throughout, we hear the stories of people most affected by al-Qaeda and its jihad.
