Al Qaeda Network Exord
Al Qaeda Network Exord[edit]
Al Qaeda Network Exord is a classified order allowing the U.S. military to conduct operations against al-Qaeda in 15 to 20 countries worldwide, including those not at war with the United States. This order was approved by U.S. President George W. Bush and signed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in the spring of 2004. It was initiated in response to the Defense Secretary's desire to use the military against targets outside of Afghanistan and Iraq. Previously, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had been given similar authority following the September 11th attacks.[1]
