Eclipsed for a long time by the rise of its rival ISIS, al-Qaeda is weorking towards carrying out a momentous return to the forefront of the international terrorist stage.
Thus a Western intelligence agency has obtained very worrying information highlighting experimental tests undertaken by the organisation led by the Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri, with a view to making mobile phones explode, remotely, by using computer viruses. A procedure which al-Qaeda could use to carry out assassinations of prominent figures, or to trigger telephones acting as detonators for explosive charges.
