Al Qaeda and non-Westerners/Muslims

Al Qaeda seems to be killing more non-Westerners than Westerners, a new report argues. There is also an article here about it.

The results show that non‐Westerners are much more likely to be killed in an al‐Qa’ida
attack. From 2004 to 2008, only 15% percent of the 3,010 victims were Western. During
the most recent period studied the numbers skew even further. From 2006 to 2008, only
2% (12 of 661 victims) are from the West, and the remaining 98% are inhabitants of
countries with Muslim majorities.
