The Islamic State of Iraq has taken over and are trying to establish a new nation in Iraq and Syria.
In Syria they the Al-Qaeda group is known as the Al-Nusra Front, beheading and slaughtering members of other militant groups and some say they have become the most powerful movement in Northern Syria where they want to establish a new nation and unite it with Iraq.
Moreover, Al-Qaeda supports the Chechen rebels and provides financial support.
Two suicide bombings in the Russian city of Volgograd last week killed more than 30 people.
Chechen rebels travel to Syria to fight for Al-Qaeda, part of global jihad movement that is now out of control in many parts of the world including Africa.
In Kenya the Westgate shopping mall was bombed by Al-Qaeda on September 21, 2013.
Al-Shabaab in Kenya controls rural areas and imposes strict forms of Sharia law.
