Tejinder Singh - AHN News Correspondent
Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - The United States on Wednesday refuted al-Qaeda claims that the West was giving way and Al Qaeda was gaining in the war on terror after nine years of battle.
 
 On the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, al Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a video message released Tuesday, called for revolution in Pakistan and said the West was in retreat and al-Qaeda was in ascendancy.
 
 The claims were outright rejected by State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley on Wednesday, telling journalists, "We have a significant presence in Afghanistan, specifically to work with the Afghan government and prevent the re-emergence of a safe haven in Afghanistan, from which al-Qaeda attacked the United States nine years ago.”
 
 Crowley projected a positive presence in Pakistan saying, “Next door, we have constructed a positive relationship with Pakistan, and Pakistan itself has taken important steps against extremists who are affiliated with Afghan – with al-Qaeda on its side of the border.”
 
 Commenting on Zawahiri's call to the people of Pakistan to revolt against the government in Islamabad, Crowley noted, "I saw that there was some reporting that Zawahiri was commenting from whatever cave he happens to be residing in, that he was critical of the Pakistani government’s response to the flood.”
 
 "I think it’s choice that the leader of a terror – or the co-leader of a terrorist organization, having supported attacks against the Pakistani government at the very time that it was providing support and assistance to its own people, demonstrates what Zawahiri’s true intentions are and what al-Qaeda’s true intentions are," he said.
 
 Crowley concluded, “So our relations with countries in the region around the world are in ascendance and it is al-Qaeda that – and particularly the core al-Qaeda – that is in retreat.”
 
 U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently said that Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan and that reports from the area point to Zawahiri, along with his chief, bin Laden, being holed up in Pakistan''s remote unruly tribal region, close to the border with Afghanistan.

THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE ("LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE
LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE
MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions
	
"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
	unmodified form, along with one or more other contributions, constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a
	collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this
	License.
	
"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation,
	musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any
	other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
	Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
	synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
	
"Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that offers the Work under the terms of this License.

	License with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
	violation.
