You historical connection implys that what We refer to as Al Qaeda has been around for a long time but the below has that at the very least Al Qaeda was "born again" more recently;nder new mangement.
al-Qaeda (Islamic militant organization) -- Encyclopedia Britannica
The brain cells of the operating mind of AQ do not work well with each other. I gather that ol' #2 in Egypt is distancing himself and the truly dignified parts of AQ from the hotheads, firebrands, and bloodthirsty characters in Syria who have hung an AQ sign outside their door. Must be tough, dealing with crude upstarts trying hard to be initiated in the brotherhood.
