The answer is simple.
As an organization and threat al-Qaida is barely visable. But as a name, al-Qaida and 'Terrorism' have become the West's handy universal term for armed groups fighting Western influence,corruption or repression in Asia and Africa.
Al-Qaida is nowhere-but everywhere.

According to PBS Frontline, they have been opening up friendly neighborhood offices back and forth between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Sudan......most likely due to extreme heat in those areas at times.

Al Qaeda functioned both on its own and through some of the terrorist organizations that operated under its umbrella, including: Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was led by Ayman al-Zawahiri, and at times, the Islamic Group (also known as "el Gamaa Islamia" or simply "Gamaa't"), and a number of jihad groups in other countries, including the Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and the Kashmiri region of India and the Chechnyan region of Russia. Al Qaeda also maintained cells and personnel in a number of countries to facilitate its activities, including in Kenya, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Malaysia, and the United States.

Most, if not all recent terror events have links to some type training camps in these listed countries.
I think Al Qaeda appears to be a little more widespread and organized than a generic term on the nightly news.
